Dear All,
I have a question in regards to starting a constellation circle. A group of my
peers - who completed the facilitator training and have done some limited
constellation work - and myself are starting a constellation circle in our
town. We already have two established constellation circles in town with
long-term experienced facilitators who book in advance and charge fairly hight
prices. Our vision is to offer constellation services at low cost to the wider
community (basically to cover the cost of the rental), and to be able to
practice facilitating.
The initial vision we had was that anybody can come on a walk-in basis, at a
cost of about $10-15 - the cost is the same for everybody, including those who
might have a constellation. When people come, two assigned facilitators for the
evening will lead the circle and offer constellations. Whoever raised their
hands, would have a chance for a constellation.
The concern raised by some members of our group was that we are running a risk
of having a potential client to be a "handful" that we will not be able to cope
with (and have a potential liability) - and that we should pre-screen
(interview on a phone) and book constellation clients.
Perhaps it is a legitimate concern? My feeling is that it takes away from the
free flow and availability of this work that was originally envisioned.
We would very much appreciate advice from this group - it seems that people
here have a lot of experience in starting constellation circles.
Thank you very much,
inessa mil'berg
