This Family Constellations Training builds on the Constellations Growth Group, Level One of the constellation training. The primary focus of Level Two is on learning how to facilitate several kinds of constellations, with ample time to practice new skills each weekend. As well, the focuses on personal growth of the facilitator and learning the principles and themes of constellations continues.  However, this year the emphasis is on applying the learnings in those two areas in facilitation situations. Note: others may join this training with permission of the instructor. This includes people who have completed another facilitator training, or who have had extensive experience with constellation work.

Objectives:

  • To provide a space where you can become grounded in the theory and principles of constellation work

  • To learn to facilitate constellations

    • Each stage of a constellation

    • Several types of constellations, such as

      • Phenomenological constellations

      • Structural constellations

      • One on one constellations

      • Constellations in a group setting

  • To use this knowledge as a base from which to go deeper into your own growth, using constellations to work through patterns of entanglement in a more sustained and systematic way

  • To begin to carve out, as appropriate, how a facilitation practice can fit into or transform the work you do in the world.

   There will be three types of learning:

·      Personal growth of the facilitator. Personal growth of the facilitator will take place through constellations facilitated by each other, by cohort leaders, and by structural constellations around key issues

·      Didactic components. Didactic components will comprise both information about the practice of constellation facilitation and themes that show up in constellations themselves.  Some of the same themes and information as in Level I will be explored; with participants bearing more, but not all, responsibility for teaching each other.

·      Practice facilitating. Substantial time during each module will be focused on group participants practicing facilitating different components of a constellation, such as:

  • Interviewing

  • Setting up a constellation

  • Testing/revealing

  • Healing sentences/concluding a constellation

Format:

  • Six two-day weekends from January through June

  • At least one practice group each month

  • The February/March weekend will be led by Tanja Meyburgh from African Constellations

The instructor must OK the workshop chosen.
