Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Like Barbara I see the post workshop tiredness as a blessing and a
demonstration of good work done.
Here in Peru we recently were privileged to have with us Tiiu Bolzmann who
directs the Centro Latinoamericano de Constelaciones Familiares ( the
former Centro Bert Hellinger de la Argentina) in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
for a three workshop to raise the awareness of facilitators to new
tendencies in the world of Family Constellations. For those who attended I
believe it was a most fruitful 2.5 days.
The format for trainings her in Peru is to have four hour get together on
Friday to connect and speak to issues of theory in the practice. Saturday
is devoted to an all day public workshop where people from all walks fo
life come to resolve issues and heal. And, Sunday is a review of Saturday's
work and if time permits one or more constellations. The facilitator
participants in the workshops are not selected for constellations, during
the public workshop; but, are actively chosen as representatives in
the constellations for the paying public. Throughout my 3.5 year training
and whenever I attend trainings led by others I am selected quite often. I
ascribe it to the fact that I probably need to do considerable work of
which I am not consciously aware. This past workshop was no exception. I
participated in three constellations on Saturday which were immensely
emotionally draining. and Sunday I participated in one. As a consequence,
on Monday following the weekend, I was completely out of sorts and slept
several siestas. But, I considered it all very worthwhile.
I believe it is prudent to advise, as part of your concluding remarks, that
you may feel tired as a result of this workshop. "Pamper yourself and take
the rest" are my instructions. I also advise them to drink lots of water;
if they experience any physical discomfort to either take a goad soak or
get into the shower and just let the shower wash any discomfort away. And,
should they have any vivid dreams to be accepting of them as their
subconscious adjusts to the new systemic realities.
When I read the comment that I believe it was Jack's that he was only
recently having clients comment about their tiredness I would say this is a
compliment to the power and depth of your work.
Fondly,
Stephen
