Transformative Online Family Constellations Workshops - In Person and Worldwide
Martha Bache-Wiig offers Family Constellations workshops in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and Calabria, Italy — alongside individual Family Constellations sessions available online worldwide by video. Online group Family Constellations workshops are also coming soon — sign up for Martha’s newsletter to be the first to know when dates are announced.
Family Constellations Workshops are a journey into our intergenerational histories, and offer clarity about and healing from trauma we may be carrying today without even knowing that is what it is!
Join me for this beautiful work done at the systemic level – below our normal consciousness, but safely in alignment with the greater field of life – to experience insights, nurturing and new directions to help you become freer to be the person you are here to be and become.

New date confirmed for the workshop in Rende, Calabria, Italy!!
October 4, 2026 from 10 am – 5 pm
The workshop will be held at La Dimora di Radha (click to check out their website – it is in Italian but you can copy and paste any pages that interest you into Google or other AI translate functions to get an English translation 🙂 )
If you are interested in a full immersion experience in Calabria that includes this workshop*, or that instead is geared towards your own private relax and retreat experience in Calabria, contact Martha today for options. You can also check out this page for a brief description of the private retreats I am offering.
* The workshop will be held in Italian, but Family Constellations lends itself to having an experience that goes beyond the purely verbal. I have facilitated multi-lingual workshops before, with people who do not necessarily all speak the same spoken language, and the results are actually quite amazing.
It is an opportunity to truly get a flavor for a different culture, going beyond the control and intervention of the conscious (often critical) mind, and to develop a deeper sense of understanding and connection with yourself, and others!
If you are curious about this opportunity don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am not posting prices because it depends on what exactly your needs are. Every offering is personalized and organized specifically for you.
Requesting a Personal Constellation in an Online or In-Person Workshop
Whether you receive a personal Constellation depends on the number of participants, but I always do my best to accommodate those who are hoping for one. If you’d like a Constellation set up for your issue, simply let me know when you register and I’ll add you to the list — requests are honored on a first-come, first-served basis. While I can’t guarantee every request, I will do everything I can to make it happen.
It’s also worth knowing that being a Representative in someone else’s Constellation is a deeply powerful experience in its own right. We often gain profound insights into our own situations through representing for others. And even as an observer — without representing or having your own Constellation — you will receive meaningful insights as part of the group process.
How Online Family Constellations Workshops Work
Online Family Constellations workshops follow the same powerful process as in-person sessions — the depth of the work translates beautifully to the virtual space.
How Family Constellations Workshops Can Help You and Your Family, and Contribute to the Greater Good
Unresolved trauma – painful events that happened in the past and that have been pushed away from our consciousness because we were not equipped to handle the intensity of the emotional pain it caused us – can create all kinds of problems in the present.
It can block the flow of loving support we need, that nurtures us and makes us strong in our ability to know and love ourselves, to develop healthy relationships with others, and to create the life we truly desire.
It is often at the root of symptoms we know of as depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic relationship issues and even chronic physical illnesses.
Unresolved trauma in our family system, things that happened even in the generations before us, can also affect us today.
This does not mean that either we or our family members are wrong, or bad, for not having been able to process these painful experiences in a healthier way. It is a natural, protective reaction of the psyche to want to push away things that cause us pain, and to deny they have any affect on us in the present.
The Background and Theory Behind Family Constellations
Human beings are becoming ever more adept at processing trauma, at looking at its damaging effects through time, and at developing tools and approaches to help us integrate it in healthier, more life-affirming ways.
Since many of our most basic survival needs have been met for those of us living in industrialized societies, we are now in a time where we can focus more on developing the quality of our lives, rather than simply on survival and reproduction.
Freud first formulated his theories on the unconscious at the end of the 19th century, and since that time, there has been exponential growth in our ability to understand how human beings function on not only a physical level, but on the psychological and spiritual ones as well.
Family Constellations is a method developed by a German therapist, Bert Hellinger, and it is an exceptional tool that helps us first be able to See where past trauma – our own, or that experienced by others in our family, including those who went before us – may be affecting us, and how we can begin to resolve it.
As we gain the ability to see these hidden patterns, our increased compassion and understanding has a healing effect on the entanglements often underlying them, and we can also see what we can do to make new internal (thoughts and emotions) and external (actions and behaviors) choices in the now.
Our new understandings and choices help us break free of the patterns that we formerly did not even know were affecting us, and we also create a shift in the energy of the entire “metamorphic field” (Rupert Sheldrake) of the family. (Go here to read more about the metamorphic field and how Constellations work functions).
We slowly gain new strength and freedom to move in directions that are more aligned with our Authentic Selves.
This benefits not only those who are on the healing journey, but the entire family system.
This does not mean that the one who is doing the “work” needs to carry the burden of the entire family.
Often, it is those who are most sensitive in family who suffer the most deeply, and who take on the role of the “black sheep”.
At some point they realize they must undertake a healing journey, but they can often feel responsible for healing the whole family, and even for saving those who have hurt them.
In reality, while this excessive responsibility is a natural way that a child attempts to create a bond with their family, to express their love and so they can feel safe and that they belong, it is a form of entanglement that only creates further imbalance.
Family Constellations can help us see not only where personal or intergenerational trauma may be affecting us, but also where we are shouldering too much responsibility for others (aka codependency) in an attempt to create a sense of connectedness with our family system.
Bringing in greater balance for ourselves allows us to create a deeper harmony with taking care of ourselves, and allowing the others in the system to assume responsibility for their own evolution, healing and growth.
With time, this furthers balance and a greater sense of peace and harmony within the family system, and benefits not only the person on the healing journey and their family, but produces positive energies and healthier role models that contribute to the Greater Good in all kinds of fascinating ways.
I look forward to seeing you soon at the group workshops, in person or online, or in an individual session. I have found that this work done individually or in groups, in person or virtually, is truly a powerful tool that can deeply benefit anyone, no matter where you are on your journey. It has brought me personally incredible levels of healing and integration that I have been surprised and profoundly grateful to experience, and I have seen my clients benefit as well.
I feel truly honored and blessed to be able to share it, and I look forward to seeing on this incredible journey!
