Daren De Witt is currently running all his Identity Therapy Constellations (IoPT) workshops and individual sessions in an online format. Daren has facilitated many of these workshops online and they have all been very effective, despite participants connecting through the internet. The ’empathic resonance’ typical of constellations sessions has been experienced by us all, and a deep level of trust and connection usually develops between participants.
Please let Daren know if you would prefer to attend in an ‘in person’ format. If there is sufficient interest, Daren may run these workshops in person, either in Hastings where he currently lives, or possibly in London.

Thank you for the workshop last weekend, Daren. I found it incredibly powerful and healing. Thank you for your calm and grounding presence. I’ll definitely do another one. – NC, March 2022

Identity Therapy Constellations (IoPT) Workshops Overview
We invite you to look at yourself from a different perspective; to explore your identity as it was formed through your early childhood experiences and traumas in your family. Identity therapy constellations workshops will help you to gain an understanding of how your early life experiences are influencing you on a daily basis.
Step by step you will be able to:
* separate yourself from what others wanted you to be
* trust yourself
* make clear and positive choices
* honour your feelings as well as your body
* maintain healthy loving relationships
* become the person you want to be
Types of Places on each Identity Therapy Constellations Workshop
There are two types of place on Identity Therapy Constellations workshops, which we call a working place and a participant place.
Working Place: If you book a working place, this will enable you to engage in a full self-encounter process or ‘constellation’. In each process the person working will come up with an intention to explore an area in his or her life. For example, “I want to be less anxious around other people.” This ‘sentence of intention’ will provide the framework for that person’s process. Other members of the group support the exploration by participating in the process and resonating with the different elements of that person’s intention. If you have a working place you can also be available as a support person, or ’empathic resonator’ for others when they do their processes. There is a maximum of 4 working places available on each workshop. Each constellation last for approx 75-90 minutes.
Participant Place: If you book a participant place, you role will primarily be to support those with working places. There is a maximum of 3 participant places available on each workshop.
Everyone in the group can benefit from the experience, learning something about themselves either through engaging in their own self-encounter, participating in the self-encounters of others, or observing.
NB. Identity Constellations and NVC-focused Identity Constellations workshops are very similar. The essential difference is that on NVC-focused Identity Constellations workshops we ask you to formulate your ‘sentence of intention’ around a need that you are struggling with in your life and want to understand more about in relation to your inner experience. Daren has created this slight adaptation of Identity Constellations workshops to align them with NVC (Nonviolent Communication), an empathy and conflict resolution process that Daren has been practising and sharing since the year 2000.
Next Workshop Dates:
These workshops take place approx once a month. Currently scheduled dates are:
Date: Sat 18th & Sun 19th May 2024. Workshop type: Identity Constellations (IoPT). Location: Online using the Zoom platform.
Timings: In the online format, each workshop runs over two mornings (Sat & Sun) from 9.30am – 1.30pm UK (London) time on both days.
Price and Booking:
You can choose from two types of workshop place. Both offer personal insights, learning and healing.
Working place – £90: Guarantees you a personal constellation (self-encounter). You can also be available as a resonator for others when they do their personal constellations.
Participant place – £30: Available as a resonator in the constellations of others. People with participant places often learn much from their roles as resonators, as well as from the workshop as a whole.
Working places are limited and fill up quickly. If time allows it may be possible to upgrade from ma participant to a working place on the day.
Each workshop is self-contained, so you can attend one or attend regularly.
The workshop provides a safe environment in which to explore early life experiences. These experiences can evoke strong feelings relating to early trauma. Sometimes participants might feel the need for support between sessions to process these feelings. If you don’t have access to support you are welcome to discuss this with me.
“I really love the identity constellations and they REALLY help me. This time I have seen really instant results too, I have such a better understanding about myself and this week I have made some positive changes that feel like totally new territory, not going over the same old failed interventions but really getting to the heart of things.” – Phillipa G, Jan 2019

All we need to process traumas is stored in our body and appears in this practice when we need it.
