The fountain, find your place

Do you repeatedly encounter the same problems in everyday life, and do you want to shake off a feeling that you just can’t put your finger on? Do you frequently feel guilty, and are you a people-pleaser? Are you stuck in an unhealthy relationship, or is contact with your parents difficult? How can you learn to deal with this so you can experience more peace in your life?

Stubborn patterns in your life can often be traced back to your family system, the inextricable connection you have with your family members. Just like in nature, this system has invisible laws that you’re often unaware of but that significantly influence your life. This handbook—full of practical tips and straightforward theories—explains how you can make systemic laws work for you so that you can live your life to the fullest.

Using the fountain as a metaphor for the family system, you’ll learn about your own, unique place. In that place, you receive the flow that’s essential to how your life turns out. Many people unconsciously stand in the wrong place, resulting in problems in all kinds of areas. This book provides insight into the workings of the fountain and gives you more control over your life.

Find your rightful place using The Fountain and live your life better than ever before.

Els van Steijn (1969) is the author of the bestseller, The Fountain, find your place, a coach, and a family and organizational constellation facilitator. The Fountain is an eye-opener for her clients and the missing puzzle piece they need to effectively take the next step.

“When you travel, you take your own patterns with you. I, too, still have a lot of work to do on myself. During my last trip, I read The Fountain. I was intrigued by the theory. The insights help you keep growing as a human being.”
