Systemic Constellations in Support of Your Personal-Professional Growth Journey
**Showing Up in the World**
*Systemic Constellations for Personal & Professional Growth*
A full weekend workshop (Saturday & Sunday) exploring the place where your professional path meets your life story.
Many of the challenges we face in our work lives don’t actually begin at work. They emerge from unseen loyalties, inherited patterns, lingering anxieties, and unfinished movements in our personal and family histories. When these forces remain out of view, they quietly shape our choices—and limit how fully we can bring our gifts into the world.
Through Systemic and Family Constellation processes, this workshop offers a grounded, experiential space to explore the deeper dynamics influencing your professional journey.
Together, we will work with themes of visibility, confidence, purpose, success, and belonging—not by fixing what’s “wrong,” but by restoring order, connection, and natural movement.
This weekend supports you in:
\- Gently uncovering hidden blocks and underlying anxieties
\- Releasing limitations that no longer serve your growth
\- Finding your rightful place in your work and in the world
\- Standing more fully behind your gifts\, voice\, and contributions
When inner and outer paths come back into alignment, showing up in the world becomes simpler—more embodied, more authentic, and more true.
About the host:
Illi Adato is an innovator in the constellations field, having researched and developed several new techniques for applying Systemic Constellations, including HypnoConstellations™ and Distant Healing Constellations™. These methods offer simple ways to harness resources which are often unseen and support personal strength, resilience and growth.
Cost: 175 Euros
You can also have the option to join as a representative only. As a representative you can experience a depth of compassion for others you may have never known existed. You can open to a depth and breadth of equanimity which can allow you to experience the most difficult situations and emotions with an open heart and open mind; while avoiding fight, flight or freeze reactions.
Representatives can process a lot of their own issues while representing, it is one of the most profound aspects of this work.
'Representative' ticket cost: 99 Euros
You can read comments and testimonials about Illi’s work from previous workshop participants here: [https://g.page/LondonConstellations/review](https://g.page/LondonConstellations/review)
To secure your spot to either have your own constellation done (175 Euros) or join as a representative (99 Euros), kindly book through this link: [https://rb.gy/8yur5x](https://rb.gy/8yur5x?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHghWfdCWVp5A35Wf43MKAZggaC0jxrHD7UlrRrJmk0bvx-pEbCmwQI77QWnK_aem_wmnfyFzH5zGS3lDJSbmdMA)
