Dan, David, and All,
Having been in chiropractic practice for 20 years, now facilitating
constellations also, I've thought a bit about how to promote the work and grow
the workshops. David's comments seem right on, but I also think there are ways
to plant the seeds to see succes. I've designed 20 posters that communicate
principles in the workshops that I've made available, and a few items to mail
that provide non-imposing thoughts and direct to the website. I think it's
very important to be proactive, not passive about this. As a suggestion for
consideration, and something I've used with success, consider reading The
Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Strategies for Your Business and Your LIfe, by
Michael Roach.
If there's interest in these ideas feel free to contact me.

Dear Dan,
Re your comment in your post 'getting people into the groups is very
difficult'. My experience is that if you have some existing clients
who trust you then they can come to your groups. But if you run open
workshops then it is not so easy, maybe. I say maybe because I think
one of the influences is culture and the basic premises of
Constellation work. I feel that Constellation work is much about the
connection between all things. Some cultures don't accept that so well
and probably won't be so attracted to Constellations. Western culture
tends to be more individualistic and this line is often pushed in the
popular self help genre ('You can do anything you want'. The Nike
advertisement 'Just do it'. People like Anthony Robins etc) Probably
people or cultures who accept that we are supported more by the
connection we have with all things, would warm more to the
Constellation approach.
