I always recommend using table constellations for introducing constellation
work.
It is relatively easy to do, and it gives people who are unfamiliar with
representative perception a good idea what constellations are about. It will
allow you to show the participants to your workshop how they can improve the
relationships of the families they are working with. If you want more info
about table constellations,
you can check out a blog post I recently wrote about the subject

Good luck with your retreat,

Hello all,
I am an avid reader, first time writer here. I am a systems therapist in
private practice who has been doing Constellation Workshops for a number of
years. I am giving a retreat for social workers who work in a home-based
palliative care setting. I would like to introduce Constellation work to
them during the retreat. The theme of the day is "Staying in Right
Relationshhip", and I was wondering if there were any creative exercises that
I might use to do so. My original thought was to use it to problem solve
some of the places where they get stuck in their work as they have to
negotiate between patients, their families, the medical staff, the pastoral
staff and the administration of a large organization. Any other ideas,
exercises, or precautions (!) would be appreciated.
With gratitude for all I learn from all of you,
Linda Longo-Lockspeiser LCSW
