Being with self and other
What happens when two powerful experiential approaches come together?
Join Brandon Wong and Edwina Van Der Westhuizen for a unique 3-hour workshop exploring the meeting point between Hakomi and Family Constellations.
Hakomi is a modality of assisted self discovery, nurturing our becoming aware of present moment experiences, including our body, emotions and mind, through experiential exercises, with principles of non-violence and welcoming all experiences. Family Constellations helps reveal the hidden systemic patterns and loyalties that often shape our lives without us realising.
Together, these approaches create an opportunity to slow down, become curious, and experience how transformations can occur organically as there is no agenda to force changes to happen, which ironically will often nurture change not through analysing the mind, but through awareness, embodiment and connection.
Whether you're a therapist, coach, helping professional, or simply interested in personal growth or someone who is curious about themselves, this collaborative workshop offers a chance to experience both modalities in a safe, supportive and experiential way.
Come with curiosity. Leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the unseen patterns that influence your life.
This won't be a lecture. You'll experience these approaches through guided exercises, experiential activities and live demonstrations, giving you a genuine feel for how they work and what makes them so powerful.

I am blessed that Hakomi landed on my doorstep one day. It made me curious about myself in a very safe way and all the healing happened to me without an agenda, or solution or something wrong with me. Fast forward to now, I enjoy seeing my clients unfold safely with me being a witness to such beautiful moments.
I find Hakomi an amazing modality to use on its own, or we could integrate it into any other modality. As a Family Constellations practitioner, I practice both modalities now and find them very different yet very complementary to each other. Hakomi to me is horizontal and expansive and we can grow to be very mindful of our present moment experiences, realizing how a lot of suffering is unnecessary. Family Constellations to me is vertical and transgenerational and we look at how suffering can be entanglements with our ancestors. When I integrate these two modalities, the spark is amazing. Hakomi just makes all healing modalities safer and more gentle.

In this collaboration with Brandon Wong, Edwina brings the systemic lens of Family Constellations, complementing Hakomi's mindful, body-centred approach. Together, these two modalities offer a unique opportunity to explore both the wisdom held within the body and the hidden family and relational patterns that continue to shape our lives.
Edwina believes that when we gently listen to both the body and the system, profound healing becomes possible.
