Information about Caroline and her courses:
Caroline Cole is holding six family constellation workshops in 2019 for anyone who feels s/he may benefit from understanding more about the impact that family systems and ancestry have on one's life's path.
There are two ways to participate in the workshops; as an 'issue-bearer' working on a particular issue that is current and important to you, or as a 'representative' contributing to the issue-bearer's constellation. Both give a powerful and in-depth view of the forces at work in one's life and the way in which subtle movements and statements of truth can unlock blockages and provide route maps for success. There are no coincidences and whether you register as an issue-bearer or a representative – you are meant to be there.
What you get:
As an issue bearer you will have your issue explored in depth and constellated to find solutions that are right for you and help move you towards the goals you desire.
As a representative you will participate in the constellations of the issue bearers and experience the profound effects of the system on the personal situation of an individual.
And:
· Exercises involving the whole group will give everyone an experience to remember
· If you come as a representative the impact and potency of the work will give you confidence to request a constellation for yourself
· You may identify with the issue bearer's difficulty and, while your solution will be different from her/his, it may throw light on your own dynamics by providing a new lens through which to look
· You will experience new and systemic ways of looking at problems
Your personal investment and how to register:
Places for issue-bearers are limited to 4 per day and are £90.
Places for representatives are £50.
There are a maximum of 20 places in each workshop.
You can pay on the day with cash or cheque prior to the workshop or
you can make a bank transfer beforehand.
For further information and to guarantee your place please email:

Dates: are all on Saturdays and are as follows:

Location: The Garden Room, North London Group Therapy Centre,

All workshops start promptly at 10am and finish equally promptly at 4pm. Tea and coffee and light snacks are available from 9.45am. There are plenty of places locally for lunch or you can bring your own to have in the centre.
There is also an option to book a private session with Caroline either for individuals or for people wanting to explore their dynamics in smaller groups. Please email or call Caroline for further details and bookings.

About Paul:
In his own words...
"I’m also a keen traveller and an adventurous eater. Consequently, I’ve been incontinent in five continents. I am a father and a swimmer, proof that the mankini supports but doesn’t restrict. Ideas-wise, I’m inspired mostly by the wit and invention of Woody Allen and Monty Python. Attaining an original voice and writing something that an audience hasn’t seen before are my aims. In my writing capacity, I was dubbed once, 'The Bard of Stratford, near Clapton.'
Best moments so far in 28 years of writing have been winning a national competition for best comedy short film and working on a sitcom idea with Andrew Gillman, director of The Day Today".
