Outdoor Family Constellation within Nature

Outdoor Summer Bristol Family & Systemic Constellation Circle

For one evening this August, my monthly Bristol Constellation Circle is moving outdoors.

For several years I've been holding monthly Family & Systemic Constellation Circles in Bristol. Many people return month after month, sometimes to bring an issue of their own, sometimes simply to represent and support the work of others.

This August, we're taking the circle into nature

Earlier this year I spent a day facilitating and participating in constellations on Dartmoor, surrounded by open moorland and wild ponies. It reminded me that whilst constellation work explores our relationships with family, community and the wider systems we belong to, we are also part of the natural world.

Holding the circle outdoors feels like a natural extension of that.

As Francesca Mason Boring writes:

"Through Nature Constellations we may find solutions, insights, clarity, and in some cases we quietly, simply, come closer to the Mystery."

Whether you come with an issue you would like to explore, or simply as a representative, you are warmly welcome.

No previous experience is necessary.

What to expect

We'll gather together in a beautiful clearing in the woods of Nightingale Valley.

I chose this place deliberately.

Nightingale Valley follows Brislington Brook through old woodland, with ancient trees and a landscape whose history reaches back for centuries.

After a short introduction to Family & Systemic Constellations, we will work with one or two constellations , depending on what emerges during the evening and the needs of the group.

As always, there is no pressure to bring an issue. Many people attend simply to represent and are often surprised by what they experience and take away.

Places are intentionally limited to help create a safe, connected and held space.

Please bring

• A blanket or camping chair to sit on

• Warm layers and suitable outdoor clothing

• Waterproofs, just in case

• Any food and drinks you would like

• An open mind

This gathering is designed to take place outdoors and will go ahead in almost all weather.

Exchange

This is a donation-based gathering with a suggested exchange of £15–£35.

Please contribute what feels right for you and what you are able to give. Your exchange helps support the continuation of these gatherings while keeping them accessible.

I look forward to welcoming you outdoors.
