Summary

I LET GO AND PREPARE TO WELCOME THE NEW
The ancient sages, and no less the Buddha Gautama Shakyamuni, teach us that the greatest cause of suffering is represented by the almost innate tendency to attachment. Everyone, more or less, creates a holographic image of themselves, an image that is inevitably influenced by dysfunctional learning processes and traumas that we may have experienced firsthand or that have involved members of our family circle.
We hardly recognize these entanglements because we mostly react by implementing automatic responses based on acquired patterns and experiences. You have a chance to contact and deploy innovative energies that can help you to let go of thought/behavior patterns that are no longer current and useful with a certain effectiveness. With the practice and knowledge derived from yoga we will learn useful techniques to energize and activate the "change mode", with the Family Constellations however, you will be given the opportunity to work on your personal dynamics and behavior/thought patterns that prevent your growth and evolution.
WHAT ARE FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
Family constellations take place in a group whose members serve as representatives in the staging of a theme or situation that one wants to observe. The dynamics between the various representatives brings out the movements of the soul that indicate a possible solution. Represent a role in a constellation is an experience that helps those who are represented to observe what is, those who represent to perceive a dynamic from within and those who observe for the empathy that is generated. Bert Hellinger, the creator of family constellations, calls this sense of connection, perceived by group members, the morpho-genetic field. Current problems and difficulties can be influenced by trauma suffered in previous generations, even if the people involved are not aware of it. The sense of knowledge that comes from the process is shared among all members of the group.

Arrival

HOW TO GET THERE
Lesvos is located in the archipelago of islands in the northeastern Aegean and is the largest of the group in size. Because of its importance, it has very easy connections to Athens, where there are several internal flights every day throughout the year. If you want to save money, there are good connections by ship, always every day of the year. Ships also stop in Chios and often go as far north as Thessaloniki. From some European countries you can fly directly to Lesvos, which has a small but modern international airport. If you cannot find a direct flight to Mytilene, fly to Athens and from there take another flight to the island.
