Episode 18: Working with Large Groups in Family Constellation Work — with Bertold Ulsamer
What changes when we move from working with individuals or small groups to facilitating a room full of people?
In this conversation, Bertold Ulsamer shares reflections and practical wisdom from decades of facilitating Family Constellations in groups ranging from intimate circles to audiences of hundreds and even thousands.
Together, we explore:
• Preparing yourself before entering a large group • Working with nervousness and performance anxiety • Creating connection and engagement in larger groups • Working with difficult participants and strong group dynamics • The role of silence and spaciousness in facilitation • Respecting your own limits as a facilitator • The difference between seeking approval and serving the work • Why large groups may awaken old dynamics around attention, being seen, and our relationship with the mother
One idea I especially appreciated was Bertold's suggestion that what we need as facilitators can be offered to the group. If we need a moment to slow down, reconnect, or breathe, inviting the group into that experience can create connection for everyone.
Whether you facilitate Family Constellations, teach, coach, lead workshops, or simply find yourself speaking in front of groups, I hope you'll find something valuable in this conversation.
