Family and Systemic Constellation Workshop
I am happy to offer family constellation days again at my studio near Mullumbimby.
We have been challenged with restrictions, isolation and different views during the pandemic which divided our families, friends and communities.
The floods followed, absolutely devastating, but it has been heart opening being part of rebuilding and experiencing our resilience and willingness to come together again as a community helping each other no matter what our opinions are. We learn that we as a community are greater than its separate parts as individuals.
I believe as we are facing further challenges through climate change and conflicts around the world we need to draw on our innate wisdom, knowing that we can only survive by connecting with each other.
Family and Systemic constellation groups are an invitation to embrace all views and ways of being and seeing the deeper contentedness with each other and the growing trust in a bigger field energy that supports us all..
It is knowing that we are all interconnected, that each individual healing is like dropping a pebble in a lake creating ripples which contribute to our ancestral and global healing so desperately needed.
With this in mind we contribute to everyone’s healing as we witness, represent or do our own constellation. We fundamentally all share the same wounding as human beings. The recognition of that opens us up to compassion and love.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. -Dalai Lama

Creative Arts Group
Reflect, Create and Connect
Come and spend a day to touch base with yourself through creativity and group support. Many people I talk to have been conditioned to think they are not creative or skilled enough to be so. These believes often date back to our childhood where we had negative messages given to us in this regard. Some of us have buried that creative spark somewhere deep inside since then. Most of us long to rediscover this part in some shape or form.
Here the good news! Absolutely no artistic skills are needed. You don’t need skills to be creative! Skills come to you naturally as you engage and find enjoyment in the process
What you do need is a curious open mind and a little courage and persistence to learn to move past the inner critic to free up your creative flow.
I offer a nonjudgmental environment where we can practice the art of creating with non-attachment to outcomes and the use of mistakes as spring boards to new discoveries.
The focus is on the process of creativity and self discovery and not on the end result.
The day will start with mindful grounding and followed by diving into your playful, creative process, prompted by loosening up exercises. We will include moments of reflections, which then will take you deeper into yourself and your painting process.
(Please note: This is not a therapy group but the process can bring up issues. So you do need to be in a stable life situation and have enough support to manage what may surface through these groups).
Saturdays 9:30am- 3:30pm.
Cost: $95/ Cons. $85
Drawing Paper and glue’s, magazines, scissors provided. Bring your own acrylic paints and brushes (and special paper if you like).
(Open to expression of interest of once a month weekday group 10-1pm $55/Cons $45)

Facilitator : Claudia Gyr
MA Cerative Arts Therapy
The creative process can be a truly healing experience as we learn to trust our intuition and follow our spontaneous expression. This translates into all areas of our lives.
Family Constellation Groups
This work is based on the recognition that we all are part of a bigger field or force connecting us to each other and to our ancestors. It is also based on the recognition that there is an order in the system of where you belong and the responsibilities which come with that place.
Family Constellation work explores the systems we live in and the impact they have on our lives. It brings awareness to relational entanglements in intimate relationships, family, work place and to related health issues. This process supports experiential integration of unacknowledged parts of our systems and within ourselves which can lead to long lasting positive effects.
Family or Systems Constellation is not limited to explore family Systems but can be used to explore any life situation we like to find more clarity, integration and possible resolution.
Through directly experiencing the field energy in the group we learn to trust that all movement is essentially a movement towards healing and integration and that the power of intent, love, trust and curiosity is what supports this movement.
Testimonies:
‘Thank you so much Claudia, for your incredible facilitation and beautiful energy that you bring to this work. I have worked with so many healing modalities over the years, and genuinely walked away from that experience feeling more deeply impacted than with anything else I have experienced. It honestly felt as powerful for me as a plant medicine journey, without taking any substances. I felt so safe and held in your space and look forward to returning and diving deeper into this work, which feels truly life- changing.’ Tori, Bodyworker
I recently attended Claudia’s Family Constellation workshop and have noticed many shifts already, especially in my relationship with my mother. I left the workshop feeling much lighter and filled with divine love and grace. I am so grateful for this transformational space and I gained so much from having my own constellation done, but also bearing witness and taking part in other people’s constellations. A deeply connecting and healing day for me. Thank you Claudia for holding the space with such tenderness, grace and wisdom. Alexandra Sanders
“Claudia, thank you so much for your exceptional and intuitive facilitation. I feel blessed to witness and experience such powerful therapy.” Caddie/Brisbane

Facilitator Claudia Gyr :
Claudia completed a 3 ½ yr potters apprenticeship in Switzerland in 1979 learning all facets of making a living from pottery.
She has been teaching pottery in Switzerland at an adult education school for 4 years before immigrating to Australia in 1988.
In 1992 she opened her own pottery studio with adjoining art gallery in the Channon where she made a living as a potter and gallery owner for 8 yrs.
After the sale of the gallery Claudia studied and then worked as an Art Therapist and only recently through one of her clients found her way back to clay.
Now still working as a part time art therapist and without the pressures of having to make a living from clay she enjoys sharing her knowledge with others in a relaxed and supportive environment.
“Looking forward sharing some creative and playful time with you.†Claudia :-)
