Come and experience the energy and power of Family Constellations! Systemic Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that aims to uncover and resolve hidden dynamics within families or other systems that may be causing emotional or psychological issues. It is based on the idea that individuals are deeply connected to their families and other systems, and that unresolved issues or traumas within these systems can affect individuals in profound ways. In a typical session, a group of people come together to represent different members of the client’s family or system. Through a process of guided exploration and dialogue, the facilitator helps the client (Issue Holder) and the representatives to uncover hidden dynamics and patterns, and to work towards resolving any unresolved issues or traumas. Systemic Family Constellations can be used to address a wide range of issues, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic illness. I will explain how it works so if you are new to it you will understand and experience it! According to how many participants there will be and how many want to constellate their challenge, you may have the opportunity to take part in your own Constellation and most definitely to take part as a representative in someone else’s constellation. Here are some testimonials from previous participants: https://www.lucaoccelli.com/testimonials/ It is necessary to book in advance.

Usually once a month, the 2024 dates are:- 2024 Saturday Classes: May 11th June 8th July 6th & 27th Sept. 7th Oct. 12th Nov. 9th Dec. 7th * Notes on 2-Person Classes Both the Tuesday 8.05pm class in Euston, and the Saturday courses in Westminster will focus on:  Learning how to relax  The use of the movements in Tai Chi Form (applications)  Applying the movements so that you maintain your own integrity (centre of balance)  Finding & working from the centre/core/Dantian  Developing the sense of ‘feel’ when working with someone else  Connecting your centre to your hands  Turning a partner’s energy around so as to unbalance him/her  We will also work on a 2-Person Tai Chi Form in order to understand applications of moves Posture, Balance, and Intention. By far the most important part of these classes is developing the ability to sense and be aware not only of one's own posture, balance, and intention, but also that of another person. Relaxation. Many of the exercises are ultimately about the ability to act from a very relaxed body and mind, so that (for example) if someone pushes towards you, you don't 'lock up' (the instinctive reaction), but instead you sense the push, and divert it. Initially it is this 'locking up' (which in effect makes you unable to move), that we are working on undoing. This is about getting more control of your sympathetic nervous system (fight & flight), the 'stress' system, so that in difficult situations, you 'roll with the punches' better.

Each Friday night we hold a space for relaxation, release and rejuvenation during this 60 minute gong bath.
