About us
The 5 Elements Constellation is Meet up group, open to everyone who is interested in self development.
Constellation work is a therapeutic way of working with larger scale dynamics of family systems over several generations in order to support healing and creative living in the present.
Mackewn (1997)

The combination of the 5 Elements and Family Constellation approaches allows us to work with hidden dynamics in a way that supports, strengthens, and resources you and your chosen way forward in life.
Are in your life unwanted patterns that in spite of your efforts keep repeating?
Is now the time for you to look at it?
"The systemic way of thinking and looking at the world helps us to become aware of the mechanisms and dynamics that are at work in systems that we normally never notice. These are the dynamics that can, in one moment, give us wings to fly and in another moment, hold us paralysed and unable to act," Jan Jacob Stam

Emerson has been involved with complementary therapies since 1989 when I attended an Acupressure course. The experience led me to investigate the field further and in 1996 after three years of study, I gained a Diploma in Shiatsu and have been in full-time practice since.In 2004 I came across Family Constellations a work created by Bert Hellinger. After attending several workshops he had the opportunity to join the training course with the Centre for Systemic Constellations (CSC) in London (formerly CSISS). I have been running 5 Elements Constellation workshops since 2010 now both in London and abroad.
Testimonials:
"I was amazed and deeply touched by how the 5 Elements opened up a very direct portal to get to the heart of the issue, even when the participant did not know what the issue was!
How it obviated the need for the initial interview and for story, and just got straight to the heart of the matter."
Lynn Stoney, Systemic Practitioner, Constellator, Trainer, Supervisor.
I'm over the moon with what happened to me and it's positively affected my relationship with my parents, thank you :). Jan, Female, 40’s

5 Elements Constellation Workshop
Liverpool Road Community Centre, Liverpool Road, N1 1LP, London, GBGiving the Here-and-Now a Chance Constellation Workshop
Saturday 18 April 2026 10 to 530pm
£120We will work with small, experiential constellation exercises designed to deepen awareness of the personal and ancestral influences shaping our thoughts, actions, and reactions—often colouring our present-moment experience. This process supports disentangling from what does not belong to us, allowing our healthy adult self to take the lead in how we respond and act.
The focus is on identifying and releasing patterns that originate in our family system or adaptations formed in early life that continue to influence us today. By doing so, we create space to be more present, available, and grounded in our here-and-now experience.
All relevant information will be shared at the beginning of each day.To register please send a message to: info@emersonbastos.co.uk

Constellation work allows us to work with the resonance field revealing hidden dynamics, entanglements and burdens that we unconsciously got involved in and make our journey forward in life less than it could be. The focus of the work is “Health” in the broadest sense of the word. I define this as a movement towards the true authentic self in a clear and objective way.

Organizado por Fernanda Bastos: febastos@yahoo.com.brO Trabalho inovador de constelação dos 5 elementos, que representam cinco aspectos do ser, possibilita identificar a natureza e origem das dinâmicas ocultas. Estas dinâmicas podem ser de origem sistêmicas familiares ou criadas e internalizadas nos nossos anos formativos. Elas, por serem ocultas, nos afetam no dia a dia dificultando e criando padrões não desejáveis.
