Systemic Constellations Facilitator Training
(Foundational Principles)
7-month-program (online)
next round starting in October 2024
You will be able to meet with us personally in California, USA (June ´24), Glastonbury UK (Sept´24) or Romania (March ´25). There will be a discount on the fees of those retreats if you sign up for the training.
We have designed a systemic constellations training for those who have a passion for systemic constellations and a desire to learn the key dynamics, underlying theory and philosophy, and also its application, and potential. By the end of this course you will have acquired the core theoretical knowledge, learned the spectrum of methods and techniques as well as have gained an overview where systemic constellations can be applied – from classical family issues, symptoms/diseases, organizational challenges, soul lineage entanglements, nature constellations, to cosmic questions, and many more.
We will focus on the basics of the work. You will get a solid foundation in systemic constellation theory and practice. That means that you may profit from our training even if you have done other trainings that aspire to be more advanced, and sometimes miss working through the basics to a good and adequate extent.
In addition, we want to give space for you to get to know yourself in your own role as a facilitator – to find your innate facilitator you, what potential she/he holds and what you are to bring into the world.
You can of course also participate if you don´t have the goal to work as a systemic constellations facilitator, but if you like to get a thorough understanding, through learning and through personal experience, of the systemic dynamics that work through your life. It may well add to a systemic counseling or to a therapy, systemic or not, that you are having or you may have had.
The training is a combination of teaching, self-awareness, personal experience, peer group work, and opportunity for you to get comfortable in facilitating yourself, while being supervised.
Philosophy: together we will explore the origins and overarching philosophy, vision and potential of systemic constellations work.
Psychology: we will explore the core psychological aspects of re-enactment, the unconsciousness, of transference, entanglements, trauma, inner child work, primary and secondary emotions etc.
Societal: we will dive into the potential of collective, cultural and social constellations.
Spritual: we will learn about the sacredness of soul movements, energy in motion, listening to and trusting the field, rites of passages and the support offered from the spiritual world. And also about the temptation to by-pass ancestral lineage.
Theoretical cornerstones you will acquire
Belonging: soul’s desire to include, belong. Consequences of exclusion. Function of conscience and feelings of guilt.
Orders of Love: the need for order within a given system, e.g. between partners, between parent and child; second partners, standing in a line of ancestors, finding your place in your system.
Balance: desire to keep balance between giving and receiving. Our experience of guilt and innocence, the oscillation between entitlement and obligation.
Symptoms: exploring the functions of symptoms (e.g. cancer, depression, suicide), diseases, who or what is remembered.

In-person meetings
We know about the good effect of meeting in person, parallel to work that happens online. There will be the possibility to meet us and fellow students in our Summer Solstice workshop at Mount Shasta, California, in June 2023, in our Fall Equinox workshop in Glastonbury, UK, in September 2023, and our workshop in Romania in March 2025.
We will also offer an optional day of practice workshop in adjacent to each workshop.
