About Satir Work:
Virginia Satir developed various processes to help us make sense of ourselves, each other, and the world we navigate. Her objectives were personal growth, congruent communication, and helping individuals to become “more fully human”.
We use theories and models from Satir to accomplish this: extending our awareness of who we are and where we come from, acknowledging and appreciating the resources we developed as we grew up in our family of origin, and making choices about how we want to use these resources in the current moment.
Through examination and illumination of these past and current resources via a range of methods, you will then be able to expand and redefine them.

“Vicky, Emmanuel and Christian have been my students and assistants at the Haven workshops.
The three of them are attentive to the participants and creatively implement connection, growth and caring for each person as well as for the group.
The three of them complement each other in knowledge, experience and creativity as a team.”
