“Opening to Your Potential“
To the Wisdom of the Soul
A Retreat of Yoga and Family Constellations for Navigating Transition through the Seasonal Change
Are you ready to dive deep on a weekend of exploration with Norina and me, a dear friend and highly gifted facilitator of family constellations?
Combining the grounding power of yoga with the profound insights of family constellations, you will be exploring what gifts and life learnings you possess that connect you with your most deepest sense of purpose.
Who supports you in your ancestral field and beyond as you align with your potential? What has served you until now, and what do you need to release to take the next step in living a truly fulfilled life?
Whether you seek healing or aim to improve relationships in all aspects of your life, this retreat is for you. We are excited to create a safe space for your growth and transformation.
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star”

Systemic (aka Family) Constellations is a dynamic mapping technique which was developed by Bert Hellinger during the 1950s and 60s as a result of his immersion in the ritual practices of the Zulu people. It is a way of gently revealing unconscious ties (known as ‘entanglements’) we hold with the fates of our ancestors and excluded members of our family system. Such ties can manifest in our lives as struggles in family dynamics, health, love, creativity, money, career and more.
The facilitator guides the client through an initial interview process to discern the key elements of the issue, before creating a dynamic map or 'constellation' using different representatives. As the constellation unfolds, the facilitator offers short, concise sentences to be spoken by the representatives or the client, to reveal hidden truths and thus bring movement, healing and insight to the problem. In group workshops, other attendees are invited to stand as representatives in service of the client's process. In one to one work, the client chooses objects, or visualises the map with guidance from the facilitator.
Family Constellations work is sometimes described as 'the shortest of short term therapy'; and is therefore more of a one time 'key' to help open new avenues for healing, or unlock insights that can lead to movement. For issues requiring ongoing support, such as complex trauma, therapy is also strongly recommended.
In coaching, systemic constellations can also be used to help us gain clarity in our sense of purpose and direction; attend to difficulties in workplace dynamics; and tap into ancestral resources that empower us to move forward with new projects or creative endeavours.

Norina is a coach, family constellations facilitator and energy healer of Filipino and British descent. She has more than 15 years experience supporting individuals to flourish in work, health, purpose and creativity -from people in the prison system to artists, writers, charity fund directors and corporate executives.
She is a woman unafraid of the dark, yet deeply rooted in light and life. With a personal ancestral history that includes war, famine, colonisers and the vengeful oppressed, she knows what it asks of our soul to agree to what is, and to receive the fullness of life with all its gifts while laying to rest what is no longer ours to carry. As a result, she holds the capacity to accompany clients as they navigate complex intergenerational matters; all the while, maintaining a lightness of touch that comes with holding a deep trust in the Divine.
With a mind trained to a Masters Degree level in Philosophy, combined with nearly two decades of personal spiritual practice, Norina brings focused, perceptive insight that goes straight to the heart of the matter; facilitating lasting, radical and life changing effects.
Norina's trainings include: Family Constellations Therapy (CSC), Narrative Therapy, Clean Language, Resonant Attention (Stella Eisenstein), and Olivier Mythodrama. Her personal healing path has also been supported by Homeopathy, Christianity, Shamanism and the Latihan practice of Subud.
Norina lives in Forest Row, East Sussex together with her husband, Laurence Shorter, and their three young children.
