Please read through the following recommendations so that you are well prepared for our journey together.

Registration takes place in The Phoenix Cafe. Please arrive from 2.30pm to allow enough time to get settled before the first session begins.
Food Options
Whilst a number of you showed interest in the Group Dinner, we don’t have enough to cover the minimum requirements of The Phoenix Cafe. As an alternative, Local Organiser Beth has booked a table for 10 in the side room of the lovely Kimberley Inn in Findhorn village at 7.30pm. Please confirm at registration if you’d like to attend.
If you would like to book Lunch in The Phoenix Cafe for Saturday or Sunday, you can pre-order from the full cafe menu and make payment at registration.
Things you might also want to know
The Hot Tub will be open over the weekend from 5pm. For health and safety, membership forms are required - these will be available at registration. Please bring your own towel, £10-£5 per session. Full information here.
To Bring
Comfortable clothes, several layers work best (the onion strategy!)
A journal/paper and pen.
Refillable water bottle.
If you can, please bring a cushion and a blanket.
The Universal Hall is a shoe-free zone, so you might want to bring some indoor shoes.
Outdoor shoes and a raincoat for the ever-changing Scottish weather.
Car Share
We encourage travel by public transport and car sharing. We have locals, offering lifts to/from Inverness airport/Forres train station. If you would like assistance with lifts/car sharing, please contact:

We also have a TELEGRAM GROUP where participants can be in contact to make travel arrangements or ask other questions.
If you don’t already use it, you first need to download it to your mobile device and/or your laptop if you wish; it cross-syncs simultaneously.

Responsibility
Throughout our time together we will be exploring how intergenerational family narratives have shaped our stories. Don’t be surprised if you encounter a little resistance or some emotion in the lead up to the workshop or during the weekend, especially if you are new to this way of working. If you do, please know that’s entirely natural and usually a helpful part of the process. If there is anything you think Liane and Deborah need to know in relation to this, please email Liane and Deborah directly.
Each participant is fully responsible for their own physical, psychological and emotional health during the workshop and participates at their own risk. We would appreciate knowing in advance if you are on any kind of medication or have any accessibility needs that you have not already shared with us. This information will be held confidentially within the team for this workshop (Deborah, Liane, Beth and Gilles) in order to support you, please email Liane and Deborah directly.
Team
Deborah and Liane will be supported by Beth McDougall and Gilles Humbert-Prince, who are both Systemic Constellation facilitators.
Beth is also our Local Organiser and Audicia is our crew member.
