Master Training
Organisational
Constellations
and Systemic
Interventions
Introduction
Facilitating a constellation is not just an art but also a true profession. In the past couple of years it became apparent that clients in
companies and organisations want their facilitators to be professionals who are experts in their field. Additionally, a lot of organisational issues are imbedded in social issues which means you also
have to be able to deal with those.
Up until now the Bert Hellinger Institute Netherlands offered one
advanced training for both family- constellations and systemic work
within organisations. We now offer advanced training separately in
order to do more justice to the different fields of personal issues on
the one hand, and organisational development on the other.
The Master Training Organisational Constellations trains students
to be a solid facilitator who;
 Knows how to create the right setting for an organisational
constellation.
 Is able to perform a good constellation, even in teams that are
divided.
 Has an eye for the systemic perspective on most of the organisational issues.
 Knows how to intervene systemically without performing a
constellation.
 Knows the essentials of systemic phenomenological work
through and through and knows how to apply them.
 Has an attitude and work ethic that the client and his/her organisation can trust.
 Knows where systemic phenomenological work belongs in the
field of system theories that are being applied within organisa-tions.

Is up to par with the “state of the art” and can bring different
forms of constellations into practice, matching the assignment,
the question and the setting.

Knows how to differentiate between personal issues and organisational issues and knows how these sometimes relate to and
differentiate from social issues.
Programme
This training consists of 3 modules of three days each.
Module 1: A powerful constellation
 Overview of developments and experiencing the most recent
forms of constellations, including
- Swarm constellations,
- Natural (self constellating) constellations,
- Use of scaling,
- Constellations on social issues,
- Constellations in resonance with the bigger evolutionary force
that is called “Spirit-Mind”,
- Constellations in the face of the ‘emerging future’.
 Constellations where the organisation is seen as the structure
or field.
 Further development of your sense for the ‘right intervention’
during the constellation.
 System sentences.
 Creating a setting for an organisational constellation: how to
redirect a difficult setting into a productive experience using
the systemic principles.
 Participants practice a lot and will be coached on the development of their own solid style.
 The essences of systemic work.
Module 2: Organisational development from a
systemic perspective
During this part of the training you will learn how organisations can
flourish from a systemic perspective. What are the conditions for
success? What is the life-cycle of a company? How does a merger
develop successfully?
Furthermore, you will learn how many issues and problems in
organisations can be understood from a systemic perspective;
symptoms are solutions from the system. How is it possible to work
systemically in organisations, beyond the method of constellations? In other words; you are a guest in the organisation and they
want you to speak their language when you help them with issues.
How to go about that?
Programme ingredients:
 Systemic interventions
 Systemic coaching
 Several organisational issues will be discussed from a systemic
perspective, such as mergers, downsizing, the start-up of a
company, resignation, new services and products, social
media and communication, alternative workplace
strategies, contracts, etc.
 Dealing with trauma in organisations and designing the
proper interventions.
 Where does systemic work fit in in the landscape of
system theories that are being applied in organisations
 During module 2 a segment of the training will be
provided by guest tutors.
Module 3: The art of helping
‘Who am I, as a constellator?’, will the point of focus of module 3.
As a facilitator or systemic worker you are your own instrument.
The inner position from where you work has a tremendous influence on the constellation and your interventions. With the help of
many exercises, the participants will explore and refine their inner
position and style. During this part ‘doing’ and ‘not-doing’ are
imbedded in ’being’.
 The art of helping; several exercises.
 Supervision; participant can facilitate a constellation under
supervision. There is room for 2 guest clients.
 Constellations, co-creating and the field of change
 The art of a true move.
