FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP: “MY DESIRES”

I invite you to explore the nature of our desires through Family Constellation. When we desire something, we hope to fulfill some of our internal or external needs and to change ourselves or something in our lives. We want to become more satisfied with our lives.
In this Family Constellation workshop, we will delve into answering the questions of why some desires come true quickly and give satisfaction, while others cannot be fulfilled or do not make us happy.
This session will consist of two parts:
1. Theory
• What is desire from the energy point of view
• How to distinguish your real desires from the desires of somebody else
• Why some desires do not bring satisfaction
• Instruments for desire fulfillment
• Influence of family history on your desires and their fulfillment

2. Practice
We will do three constellational steps for:
1) Understanding your true inner desires
2) Allowing yourself for your desires to come true
3) Accepting changes that will happen to you when you get what you want
