The Art of Mini-Constellations & Rituals
Over the years of studying Family Constellations with different teachers, I have gathered a collection of constellation formats, short setups, and rituals. I use them in workshops, private sessions, personal practice, and in peer practice groups.
This collection is an ongoing project. More mini-constellations and rituals will be added over time. I created this space because having them all in one place is helpful—for my own work and for anyone who may benefit from them.
I haven’t included individual authors for each constellation setup, not because I chose not to, but because I can no longer trace every source. My heartfelt gratitude goes to all the teachers whose wisdom has supported and influenced my work.

If there is one feeling that you have been running away from all your life, then what is that feeling?

The group of 2 people:
The 1st one represents this Feeling,

How A relate to B?
Could A feel any gratitude that My pattern gave me?
(2) A look at C and after a few minutes just check weather A is ready to take C inside or not.
