About the Essentials of Classical Constellations online Course
No matter which direction you would like to specialize in as a constellations facilitator, a deep, foundational understanding of the roots of classical constellations is essential.
The seminal book “Love’s Hidden Symmetry”, which draws on various of Bert Hellinger’s lectures and constellations, lays bare Hellinger’s original philosophy and process and is still considered to be the primary text for Classical Constellations practitioners.
Essentials of Classical Constellations is a detailed, 12-module journey that reflects on and explains all the basic concepts you need in order to have a grounded understanding of this work, offering you the opportunity to nourish your own tree of knowledge in firm, nutritious soil and support your growth as a constellator.
Aims
- To introduce and discuss the basic philosophy and principles of classical constellations, including topics like systems thinking, conscience, guilt and innocence, the orders of love, the orders of helping, phenomenology, systemic entanglements, different types of feelings, etc.
- To reflect on topics and ideas from the book with top facilitators who offer their own thoughts and perspectives on the work
- Capture insights and wisdom from First Generation facilitators like Hunter Beaumont, Albrecht Mahr, Gunthard Weber and Judith Hemming
