If you are ready to put down some of your burdens and get disentangled from life-long patterns that don’t serve you anymore, then this workshop is for you.
In order to be born, you need 2,046 ancestors over the past 10 generations. How many struggles, love stories and hopes did they live through for you to exist in this present moment?
Using Family Constellations, we bring your heart’s desire into a shared space. We map out hidden dynamics from family and other systems to lighten your load, release burdens and increase the flow of love from your ancestors.
Members of the group act as stand-ins for a parent, a country, a significant event or another element. This can give incredible insights into what gets in the way of your life being as you’d like it to be. New patterns may become visible, and an inner movement can emerge that seemed impossible before.
A weekend together builds belonging, trust and safety for deep work. No previous experience is needed, just the ability to report your bodily sensations when asked. Lucy will guide your every step.

Lucy Ascham
Lucy Ascham is a healer, practitioner & facilitator.
For over two decades she has worked with individuals and groups, taking people from pain towards freedom. Her work draws on life long love of learning and a rich lineage of training:
Alexander Technique teacher since 2003. Family & Systemic Constellations facilitator since 2019. Certified Resonant Healing Language Practitioner (2024–25) with neuroscience educator Sarah Peyton. Lucy has worked in private sessions with Sarah since 2008 and regularly assists her online trainings.
Lucy loves helping people take a deeper and kinder look at what they carry in their body, nervous system and soul. Supporting people to see and accept a little more of their truth helps them integrate their experiences, so they have more choice and ease in the world. She works with a light touch while holding a safe space for deep work.
"A really important part for me in this process was the sense of offering myself and my body in service to another’s healing process. You can feel so deeply connected to humanity and all its complexities. By giving permission to enter another’s constellation you also enter another aspect of yourself. So powerful.”

Lighten your load: Put down burdens you may have carried for years, including those that never felt entirely your own.
Find movement where you feel stuck: Seeing hidden family dynamics laid out in the room can bring an inner shift that once seemed impossible.
A sense of belonging: A weekend together builds the trust and connection that make deep work feel safe and supported.
Benefit even without bringing an issue: Standing in for someone else’s constellation can be just as moving, and always gives you an experience of something about yourself too.
