An Evening of Family Constellations with
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt

Saturday, April 12, 2008
7:00 – 10:00 pm

Following the Whole Child Conference
 (www.wholechild.info)

39 W. 14th Street, Suite 307, between 5th & 6th Avenues
(Note: Different location from conference)

Cost:  Free to conference attendees
Ticket will be provided at registration
$25 for others

Family Constellations vividly demonstrate the profound impact of our families and ancestors. Hidden family events and dynamics from past generations may manifest in our current lives as illness, relationship problems, addiction, financial instability, school failure, lack of purpose, depression, accidents, suicide, etc. A family constellation provides an opportunity to view invisible dynamics that may be driving your life or that of your children. Participating in the healing circle of a constellation is a true privilege.

Bert Hellinger, an international figure in the healing community, developed this method to uncover hidden dynamics which entangle us in fates not truly our own, but the legacy of others who did not resolve them in their lifetimes.

Dietrich Klinghardt
is one of Hellinger’s most talented students.  A resident of the state of Washington, he is making a rare appearance in New York.

You must see and feel the constellation process in order to understand it.  Serving as a representative is like stepping into the energetic field or soul of the family. It’s as though the representatives are “channeling” the family energy field of the client—thus revealing the unseen forces that have held current family members captive in life patterns not previously understood. Constellations offer a clarifying outward manifestation of systemic pain and “stuckness” that may point toward healing and transformation.

We hope you will join us for this special evening!
