Andi
Family network therapist
Andrea Romhanyi
Andi is the founder and original practitioner of what is called “the family network”.
This is a practice based on the work of the psychiatrist “Bert Hellinger” whereby it is put forward that we unconsciously remain loyal to unspoken family traditions that work invisibly.
By using a 3 dimensional group process called the “family constellation” , underlying family bonds and destructive forces that have been carried unconsciously, perhaps over several generations- such as alcoholism, depression, anger ,guilt and even illness - can be discovered.
On discovering the underlying issues, and by acknowledging and honouring the difficulties or fates of those preceding us the destructive pattern can be broken.
Andi has many years experience with this practice , together with her use of the tarot ,astrology and numerology makes an extremely interesting and knowledgable speaker.
She will be holding workshops highlighting her work on the family network over the period of the gathering.

Om Sliman is originally from Petra
(Wadi Musa) but married and moved to Wadi Rum. Since this time she has worked tirelessly for many years setting up workshops and initiatives, as seen viable within the community ,to help not only empower local women, but to educate and help awareness of the immense potential ‘worth’ of local women within that same community. She recently received the “Independence medal” from King Abdullah in recognition of her work to empower women within the community.
She and her husband have a organic small holding. Their main objective other than the more traditional vegetable production is the production of natural products from morenga trees and “yussur” bushes. Both of which are highly regarded in respect of their huge medicinal and food values .
She will talk a little of her back ground and her motivations, together with her difficulties as a Bedouin women in the desert, what she is doing now and her vision for the future.
