“A love that is awake sees the other as he or she is and loves that person as a complete individual. Love leaves room for the other person and that person’s fate. That loved one is strengthened. I always ask my clients, “Does this love strengthen you or weaken you?” When such questions are understood and taken seriously, the answers are spontaneous and reveal the essential quality of that particular love. “

Essential Elements of Facilitation
The Essential Elements of Facilitation is a 13-month online Family Constellations training course designed to strengthen your personal and professional development as a facilitator. Whether you're on the certification track or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of systemic work, this course offers a rich, immersive exploration of the core skills required to lead healing constellations.

Through live lectures, experiential group exercises, role-playing, breakout rooms, and guided constellation demonstrations, you'll develop a grounded, phenomenological understanding of family systems free from judgment, interpretation, or pity. You'll learn how to use healing sentences, systemic interventions, and intuitive perception to support meaningful shifts for clients.

Open to those in the Family Constellations Facilitator Training Certification, anyone interested in facilitation, or already a trained facilitator.

In this Family Constellations exercise we can use floor markers to explore the systemic dynamics between Men and Women or Partners.

1. Write these elements on individual sheets of paper and place on the floor in any order that feels correct.

2. Stand on (or near) any marker in any order. Repeat standing on any markers as needed.

3. What do you feel, notice or gain insight? Are there any movements or words that come to you?

"There is a strong tendency in families to try to hold on to things that are past – memories of both good and hurtful experiences. When members of a family group hold on to something that should be over, the past holds them captive and continues to work inappropriately in the present. Because the old then cannot fade away, the new has difficulty in establishing itself. It requires great discipline to extract yourself for such systemic entanglements, and to release everything that deserves to be finished. All members of a family group must let go of things, both positive and negative, as soon as their effect for good is past. "
