Over dit evenement
Do you find yourself caught in a pattern you would like to break? Are you facing an issue you cannot resolve on your own, or a decision you are struggling to make? Do you long for something to change? Or perhaps there is simply a nagging feeling that will not go away?
Family constellations are a powerful tool for revealing what may be holding you back or weighing you down. This might include patterns passed down through your family, unresolved conflicts from the past, or unfulfilled desires. During this evening, we will explore family systems to find the answers we need and gain insight into the subconscious motivations behind our patterns.
What are family constellations?
Family constellations are a method within systemic work that explores unconscious dynamics within a family system or other areas of life. By representing elements of a system and interacting with them, we bring unconscious dynamics into awareness.
A family constellation aims to make visible what has not yet been seen.
When exploring personal patterns, the focus is often on the family system. However, constellations and systemic work can also be used in the workplace, for example, to reveal tension points within an organisation.
This evening will focus on personal questions and challenges.
What are family constellations not?
Family constellations are often described as a form of therapy, implying an ongoing series of sessions intended to achieve a particular goal. That description does not feel right to me. Each constellation stands on its own and offers insight into what is ready to be seen at that moment. It does not offer a guaranteed solution or quick results. Instead, it may give you answers, insights, or it may help you recognise the process you still need to move through.
It is not a form of psychiatry or psychotherapy, nor a substitute for mental health care. It does not have a spiritual or religious foundation either. It works through the body’s intuition.
Evening program
- 19:45: Arrival
- 20:00: Welcome and brief introduction
- 20:15–21:00: Short guided exercises in small groups

- 21:45: Sharing circle and closing together
- 22:00: Ending, option to connect with each other

We will not select someone in advance to bring a personal issue for a constellation. During the exercises, themes will naturally emerge within the group. Together with all participants, we will find an appropriate way to explore them.
Who is Simon?
Simon is a father of two sons and has been fascinated by family constellations since 2018. After participating in many constellations, he earned his certificate in “Family Constellation Facilitation and Systemic Entrepreneurship” in June 2025. Since then, Simon has facilitated several one-to-one constellations, which have brought valuable insights.
“Becoming a father prompted me to finally address patterns I had been carrying for years. Family constellations have played a significant role in that process. I am grateful that I can now help others find insights that help them grow as a person.”
My approach
As a facilitator, I aim to work alongside participants as an equal. I do not offer ready-made answers, but help you move through your own process. I offer support where needed, while you remain responsible for your own participation and choices.
I prefer to work intuitively, sensing what is needed in the moment. Sometimes this means allowing the evening to unfold differently from the planned programme. Any changes are always made in consultation with the participants.

- Wants to take responsibility for the patterns or challenges in their life

- are currently receiving mental health care or taking medication for mental health conditions

Review from a client:
“I had a family constellation session with Simon. It was a remarkable experience. I had no idea what to expect, but Simon helped me settle into the right frame of mind, allowing me to express things that surprised me. What stood out was that he asked the right questions without making assumptions or putting words in my mouth. That helped me connect with what was at the heart of things for me. The insights brought more balance into my life—and ‘Balance’ happened to be the card I had drawn before I even knew what was to come! Thank you, Simon!”
