The workshop titled “A vedea cu inima” (Seeing with the Heart) focused on family constellations is set to take place on April 9-10, 2016, in Bucharest. This unique event emphasizes the courage needed to truly perceive life and relationships with empathy and understanding. It encourages participants to open their hearts, fostering inclusion and understanding in areas where there may linger prejudices and feelings of exclusion.
The essence of “seeing with the heart” involves acknowledging past experiences while moving forward without shutting down emotionally to the history that one leaves behind. The aim is for participants to face realities without distortion, allowing them access to their authentic destinies and emotional truth. The workshop seeks to empower individuals by enhancing their capacity to reflect on their pasts through an open heart, enabling a transformative approach to their present and future.
Participants can anticipate addressing a variety of life’s challenges through the family constellation methodology, which may include issues related to relationships (both with self and others), parenting, professional dilemmas, childhood traumas, repetitive life patterns, health concerns, and any other obstacles preventing true potential. The workshop posits that many of these challenges may stem from unresolved issues within one’s familial system, which could disrupt the flow of love across generations and lead to emotional stagnation.
Healthy love within a family system thrives on the recognition that all its members hold an equal right to belong, regardless of moral judgments like good or bad. However, significant life events—such as early deaths of parents, miscarriage, abortion, the loss of children, tragic deaths, and familial exclusions—can result in members being silenced or forgotten due to overwhelming pain. Consequently, younger generations often manifest the imbalances, conflicts, and unresolved grief faced by their ancestors.
The family constellation method aims to connect individuals with profound aspects of their hearts, facilitating the understanding that everything is inherently a manifestation of love. By acknowledging and integrating that which has been excluded—whether it be loss, trauma, or family secrets—individuals can find liberation from the emotional burdens they carry. This ancestral healing process transcends individual issues, addressing the collective emotional history that impacts not only the present but also echoes through past and future generations.
Mihaela Marinas, a psychologist and founder of the personal development platform Damaideparte.ro, will facilitate the workshop. With a participation fee of 380 lei, interested individuals can register for the event via email or telephone.
In summary, “A vedea cu inima” offers a profound opportunity for healing and growth within family dynamics, inviting participants to explore their past to illuminate a freer, more authentic present and future through the power of connection and understanding within familial love.
