Family constellations
See what is holding you back in life
Family Constellation work in Portugal, near Porto, and online. On your own or with your group, from a single session to a multi-day retreat.
Get to the root & reclaim your lifeYou've read the books. Had the conversations. Maybe sat in therapy for years. And still, something keeps pulling you back.
The same conflict in your relationships. The same wall in your work. The same heaviness that keeps coming back.
It doesn't respond to willpower, insight, or trying harder. Because what you're carrying may not have started with you. A family constellation helps you understand why you are blocked.
something holding you back
What to ExpectA Family Constellation is a way of making the invisible visible.
We all grow up inside a family system - a web of loyalties, losses, and unspoken rules that quietly shapes how we live, love, and work. A Family Constellation brings that system into the room.
We create a living map of your family. Participants step into roles representing family members or elements of your question - and without knowing your history, begin to express the dynamics at play. Once you can see it, change becomes possible.
What emerges is not analysis. It's something you can see, feel, and finally set down.
A constellation doesn't give you advice. It gives you movement.
why it's so powerful
See the hidden dynamics
Discover how events in your family's past still quietly shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today.
Heal across generations
Trauma travels through family lines until someone turns to face it; a constellation is where that can happen.
Understand what you carry
See what belongs to your history and what belongs to your life now, and gently begin to leave with others what was never yours to hold.
Whether your theme is personal, relational, or professional, you leave with insight you can feel in your body, not just understand in your head.
Gain clarity on a real question
You don't need to bring your own question to be moved by the work. Representing in someone else's constellation is often just as insightful and healing.

Online session
A private constellation intensive for you alone, or shared with one other person, each bringing a question. With a half day dedicated to one theme, we can zoom in deeply - and there's room for somatic integration and release, so the shift doesn't stay in your head but lands in your body.
private or shared by 2 people · half day · €550Half-Day Intensive
A deeply personal retreat, shaped around you and your life. Several private days on our land near Porto, where the land and the two of us work with you through constellation, systemic and somatic work, for deep movement and real transformation. Most retreats happen in a group. This one is entirely yours, dedicated to your questions, with no one else in the room. Come on your own, or together to work on a relationship that matters.

What other Experienced“I participated in a family constellation session led by Thomas, with seven representatives. The quality of the experience was exceptional - it deeply moved and inspired me.”
- JOB“I had never done a family constellation before and did not know what to expect. I definitely did not expect such a powerful and healing journey for everybody. I felt super safe. Thomas did an incredible job holding space in such a loving and kind way.”
- Claudia“Thomas guides his sessions in a natural and sincere way. He works from his intuition, and with his knowledge and a gentle touch of humor, he knows exactly how to strike the right chord. His presence feels both grounding and strong.”
- LennardFAQ’s
I've never done a constellation. Can I still join?
1
Absolutely. Most people at our days are first-timers. No preparation or prior knowledge is needed - you'll be guided through everything.
I don’t have a burning question. Is it still worth it?
2
Yes. Taking part as a representative is often described as just as meaningful as bringing your own theme. The work reaches everyone in the room.
Is this therapy?
3
No. A constellation is not a replacement for therapy, but it works beautifully alongside it. Many people come after years of talking, because this work reaches a layer that talking can't.
Do I have to share my whole family history?
4
No. A short conversation about your question is enough - the constellation itself does the revealing. You share only what you choose to.
What language are the sessions in?
5
English or Dutch - let us know what your group needs.
Where do sessions take place?
6
At House of the Valley, 35km from Porto, or at a location your group arranges - a home, garden, office, or studio with room for the group and 6–7 quiet hours.
Something has been holding you back long enough.
Let's have a conversation - no cost, no obligation. We'll explore your question, your group, and which format fits.
