Combining Systemic Constellations and Somatic IFS Therapy
Step into a day of deep exploration and personal growth as we invite you to discover the transformative power of combining Systemic Constellations with Somatic IFS Therapy. This workshop is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and tap into profound emotional healing, whether you’re seeking personal growth, clarity, or simply a deeper connection with your inner world.
In this unique experience, you’ll engage in the Systemic Constellations method, a powerful tool that unveils the unconscious patterns shaping your life. By representing your own or another person’s family or internal system, you’ll gain fresh insights into relationships, career, family dynamics, and even health issues. Whether it’s looking at old wounds, shifting the energy in your professional life, or understanding blocks around money or relationships, this work offers a profound new perspective on what’s holding you back.
But we won’t stop there. The experience will also incorporate Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to guide you through releasing stored tension and trauma from your body. Rooted in the principles of IFS, you’ll explore your inner landscape with curiosity and compassion, learning to identify and communicate with the different parts of yourself—your inner critic, protector, vulnerable child, and more. As we move through the workshop, we’ll alternate systemic explorations with mindful body awareness and gentle movement, allowing your body to process emotions naturally and release what no longer serves you.
What to Expect:
- A dynamic blend of systemic work and somatic therapy.
- The opportunity to work on personal issues related to family, relationships, or career and unlock your potential.
- Guided exploration of your inner world with systemic “lens” and awareness of physical sensations.
- Conscious movement and somatic exercises designed to release emotional and physical blockages.
By the end of this day, you’ll not only have a clearer understanding of the patterns influencing your life but also a greater sense of connection to your authentic self. You might find yourself viewing past wounds with more compassion, releasing stored tension, and creating space for new beginnings.

About the Facilitators:
Adina Nica
I discovered the power of constellations method in 2012 in my own healing process. Since 2015 I have been in continuous learning and training. I’ve trained and worked with Jutta ten Herkel (UK), Jan Jacob Stam and Dees van de Hoef (the Netherlands), as well as other specialists, facilitated one-to-one and group constellations, participated in international conferences and I am part of international intervision groups. Besides, I have trained and apply in my work NLP coaching and Releasing technique.
In addition, I have over 25 years experience in organisational environment, applying psychological models, neuroscience and constellations in developing business strategy. I managed teams of specialists, I mentored young professionals, I learned about people leadership in the real life. My added value comes from my genuine interest in human beings and human behaviour.
My current approach combines the two wide areas of expertise that I have: systemic work and strategy and I took it as my mission to develop the applicability of systemic work in personal and professional life, business and society at the next level.
I am 49 years old, a wife and mom of 3 teenage kids, my greatest source of transformation.

What is Systemic Constellations?
Systemic Constellations are a powerful method for revealing hidden dynamics in personal or family systems. By representing different people or parts of your life in a group setting, you can uncover the unconscious forces at play. These insights often bring clarity, peace, and a greater sense of belonging within your system, allowing love and life to flow freely.
A constellation is a visual representation of what is in the unconscious mind and uses a lot of psychotherapy instruments, as well as the systemic theory.
Each person is part of a system (family, organisational, societal) within which visible and less seen connections appear. The constellation method brings to light hidden dynamics that we unconsciously create due to the connections we all have in these systems and due to our needs to belong, to be safe, to be seen or perhaps accepted.
Working in this way brings us clarity and peace, we get to make sense of things that are happening in our lives and take our appropriate place in our system, where love and life can flow with ease and we can make a step forward.
Constellations typically have an “issue holder” and we work individually with them, in a group setting. The issue holder chooses a theme, a difficulty that he is currently experiencing in his life. He is usually invited by the facilitator to detail and clarify and bring into discussion events from the family/organisational/societal system that might have relevance in the problem (and the level of detail provided is only depending on how comfortable the client feels). After this discussion the issue holder can also choose an "intention" for the session. We will then pick together some people from the group to be representatives for relevant parts of their issue that connect with their story.
We are able to reveal sometimes more hidden parts of our mind and soul, more of our unconscious and see how we have hidden connections and links with our family system.
Working systemically can be exciting and vulnerable, so we, as facilitators, will take care to ensure a space of safety, confidentiality, trust and will support you in taking a step towards better.
What is Somatic IFS Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the mind-body connection. It’s based on the idea that emotions and experiences—especially the difficult ones—are not only processed in our minds but also held in our bodies. We explore both the physical sensations in your body and the emotional "parts" or perspectives inside you—like your inner critic, protector, or vulnerable child. Have you ever felt tension, tightness, or discomfort in your body when you’re stressed or anxious? Or noticed physical reactions to certain emotions, like your heart racing when you’re nervous or your stomach turning when you’re upset? Somatic therapy works with these physical sensations to help you release and heal stored emotional trauma.
Somatic IFS Therapy integrates the body’s wisdom with the mind’s inner parts. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and somatic awareness, we can release emotional blockages. The IFS approach helps you communicate with the different “parts” of yourself—like your inner critic or vulnerable child—for integration and healing. This combination encourages profound self-compassion, emotional regulation, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
We will guide you through different techniques like breathing exercises, body scans, or gentle movement to become more aware of how your body is feeling and help you process emotions in a safe and natural way. Your body can guide you into processing.
Join us for this transformative workshop and unlock the power within you. Experience a unique fusion of mind, body, and spirit, and leave with powerful tools to navigate life’s challenges with grace and insight. Registration link: https://forms.gle/grAArdcHxLF2MoRC9
