-- and yeah, Bert in a constellation-- a constellation on the work.
Great idea!
One has taken place more than two years ago.
I did put Bert up in a constellation.
There was a cynically critical article in the German news magazine Der
Spiegel on Bert and FC about which I wrote to C-Talk.
Chris replied, suggesting sort of in jest to imagine Bert asking me to
set up a constellation about 1. academically trained therapists
opposed to FC, 2. academically trained therapists who embrace and
apply FC and 3. non academically trained practitioners of FC.
I did take it seriously and -by myself- used roller chairs to
represent the three. Soon it became obviously necessary to take
another roller chair to represent Bert.
I left the chairs in their positions overnight.
There was a workshop on the next day. In the afternoon still time and
energy for another constellation and participants agreed to full scale
continue the one I had initiated the previous evening; four of them
taking up the positions, assuming movements of the soul.
From the holding circle soon the remark came: something is missing.
Instantly clear, of course, The Work.
My only intervention was to bring in The Work.
The ensuing movements of The Work over a considerable period of time
that were bringing together the three initially rather hostile
protagonists were a wonderful sight to behold.
The childlike seductive playfulness of the Work did the trick. Ending
with all four of them standing in a harmonious semi circle facing a very
benign looking Bert (who remained rather stationary throughout).
Everyone present felt a sense of utter collectedness throughout. Maybe
best described as
joyfully serious.
