FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
with Johanna Reeve Alexander
Cost for 3 day workshop €350 INCL lunch and dinner for 3 days and welcome apperitivo.

Family Constellations is a powerful way to shift destructive thinking and family patterns that block your ability to move forward in life. There is a movement of the soul of the family clearing blocks and allowing love to flow. The whole family does not need to take part just one member.
This is deeply moving, emotional work with a high regard for privacy.
This is group work and Johanna is a trained facilitator (with Bert Hellinger and Hunter Beaumont) with over 16 years experience.

CREATIVE WRITING
with Birgitte Nygaard
Cost for 3 day workshop €450 incl lunch and dinner for 3 days and welcome apperitivo.

"Everybody has a story to tell"
This writing course will give you techniques turning your ideas into concrete text. Whether you are arriving at the 'blank page' or have lots of unfinished beginnings, or just an idea this course is for you.
The most important thing to bring with you is the urge to get started.
Our method is one with a double focus. As a warm up we will use the energy of thinking as a group, doing exercises to help ideas emerge. Inspired by this flow you'll work individually and be able to find your own space in the setting of Ceriana and it's medieval charm.
We will speak in English in the exercises but you can write in your natural language and still have solid feedback on your ideas.
Birgitte Nygaard has facilitated creative writing classes for 15 years for diverse groups helping them connect with the more creative aspects of their lives, for pleasure or business.
"I truly believe writing is so much more than communication, it's a way of understanding who we are"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Throughout summer there will also be 2 hour Improvisation classes weekly . Dates to follow.

Photographs and more information on all the facilitators to follow.!

Please remember Ceriana is a medieval mountain village with cobbled laneways and steep steps. The access to the workshop room does not have handicap access. Most localities here are old and there are steps or stairs. Accommodation can require a walk up or down fairly steep laneways.

I can help you with information on accommodation in Ceriana. We have a range of apartments from studio's sleeping 2, to houses sleeping up to 8 people all advertised on airbnb. There is also a small hotel in the main street.

Ceriana is a medieval village. It is on a mountain side so it has steep cobbled pathways and the entrance to the workshop room is up alot of steps. The main street is on one level.

Please note. Each participant will be required to have travel insurance with health/accident cover.

So stay tuned for the Summer program of courses and events. And I look forward to meeting you this summer.
