Current developments in our postmodern society evolve rapidly.  Small changes in systemically interconnected systems bring about effects in various domains simultaneously. Our knowledge about the bio-psycho-spiritual system called “human being” is exponentially growing and we need to relearn what we know in every instant.

In this workshop, we will critically reflect on the concepts and practices of systemic constellation work.  Johannes B. Schmidt will work with participants’ processes using his integrative view and practice.  As a seasoned facilitator who has been setting up constellations extensively since 1994, Johannes has integrated approaches from body-based trauma work, principles of craniosacral biodynamics, experiences with pre and perinatal psychology, constructivist systemic work, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness practice to name only a few.

Johannes’ slow-motion constellations and his focus on inner dynamics rather than family entanglements opens constellation work to a wide range of applications.  His integration of conception issues, intrauterine life and birth dynamics as well as bonding and attachment styles enables him to work in the non-verbal domain of human development facilitating complex trauma healing.  Focusing on self-regulation, he challenges our view on independence and autonomy.  In his work, a space of stillness and silent participation opens and invites deeply felt contact and connection that profoundly affects our being-nature. Witnessing this work is entering a space of true transformative intimacy.
