Discovering constellations
Exploring possible intersections between #systemsconstellations and #mediation with ?Lucy Hare of Artscoaching was a great way to start 2024.? ?We mapped? #conflict scenarios in 2D with coloured arrows and 3D with our bag of little wooden people – I can imagine using these tools with individuals and groups who are in conflict. For a #mediator, questions about the ‘rules of belonging’ in any human system – a family of origin, workplace, gang, church or profession might offer a useful entry point to a person’s story about conflict. ?Exploring the emotional and practical consequences of breaking those rules of belonging gets really interesting. ?I had a few light bulb moments about my own work, and the various systems to which I belong, and plan to do some more reading about constellations and systems theory to add to the kitbag… the little wooden people will definitely get an outing soon! Thanks to Martha Clarke for organising. ?
