“By a process of acceptance, love, and understanding, deep family issues from past generations can be resolved and profound healing happens.”
FAMILY CONSTELLATION
-
Family Constellation is a powerful method that helps us recognize and dissolve unhealthy entanglements within our family system, sometimes spanning several generations. This unique approach allows us to overcome and heal collective trauma. Solution-oriented interventions bring understanding, clarity, and healing to all our relationships, including those with parents, original family members, partners, children, and even work and business partners.
Through this process, we learn to see our behavior, feelings, beliefs, and sometimes physical problems as a result of belonging to a collective group. In every social group, certain unspoken and mostly unconscious laws guide the behavior of its members. Suffering often arises when one or more members unknowingly violate these fundamental laws.
The method of Family Constellation is quite simple: A client selects representatives for specific family or social group members from a group of people and positions them in relation to each other in an open space. This arrangement and the spontaneous movements of the representatives reveal the relationship dynamics, intimacy levels, pain, love, or sense of abandonment among the group or family members. It also exposes deep identifications and entanglements, showing how everyone is connected to a larger system or collective field that includes many others from both past and present. In individual sessions, cushions or other symbols can represent the positions of family members.
The therapist's interventions support healing movements within the family or social system. They may bring in missing or excluded members, suggest new and more conscious behaviors, and often offer healing sentences to those standing in for family members. Eventually, the love between family or social group members is restored. We learn to be more in tune with life, move beyond personal desires, and become one with a greater whole. This healing benefits us and everyone close to us.
OSHO Family Constellation is rooted in meditation and the understanding that only through conscious love and profound acceptance of the past can we leave it behind and discover our authentic nature. For the first time, we become the individuals we were meant to be.

Short Courses
-
Join us in a transformative workshop where you’ll discover the power of Family Constellation. This approach helps you to find peace and acceptance with family members or anyone we are closely related to. You'll gain insights into the root causes of relationship problems and see how we are all connected to the collective energy field of our family, culture, or country. You'll see how traumas from past generations influence our lives and decisions today, as our unconscious bonds with our parents and family members span many generations and are often at the heart of deep-seated issues that we find difficult to understand or change.
With the support of course participants, you'll be able to witness your own family constellation, which reveals a portrait of your family's energy dynamics. The Constellation shows the levels of intimacy, pain, love, or sense of abandonment that each family member feels towards one another, and become aware of your own unconscious identification and ‘entanglements’, and learn how to dissolve them by moving beyond judgment and consciously opening your heart to excluded or forgotten family members.
By learning not to take on responsibilities that aren't yours and letting go of interferences in others' lives, you'll break free from repeating your parents' or ancestors' suffering and find your own place in life and within your family system. With gratitude, you'll leave the past behind, regaining wholeness and inner strength. This journey from the blind love of a child to the mature love of a conscious adult also leads to a more meditative approach to life, where you can be more centered in yourself, and more able to feel love within and find love and join in your strengthened ability to be alone.
This approach to Family Constellation isn't therapy in the usual sense; it is a meditative approach that acknowledges the ‘isness’ of life, rather than seeking to change or fix your family. Simply by recognising past traumas and supporting inner healing, you are able to connect to a deep ‘yes’ to your parents, family members, or partners as they are and in this deep acceptance, you’ll find more lasting inner peace and harmony.

A Special Workshop
This is a special workshop where we dive into deeper life issues that go beyond the usual scope of family dynamic, and open ourselves to the big questions about life and consciousness.
Whenever we face big life challenges or traumatic situations, we often encounter these existential questions because everyday problems seem so less insignificant.
This course is a chance to experience a shift your consciousness and find a new direction in life, one that is more aligned with your true Self.
In this workshop, we’ll explore questions like:
Am I ready to take risks, leave behind my security and comfort, and live more fully?
Am I ready to let go of the past each moment and follow my true passion and purpose?
Are my decisions based on fear, or do they come from love and awareness?
Can I tell the difference between my conditioned ideas about love and its true meaning?
Do I live with the awareness that life is precious and fleeting, or do I procrastinate and waste time?
We’ll use systemic constellations to explore these questions, expanding beyond issues to witness larger collective fields. This approach helps us move beyond personal bonds and enter a space of meditation and deeper understanding.
Svagito will work individually with people and everyone present will be able to learn from everyone else. Guided and structured meditations will be part of the process.

In this course, you'll learn about the intrinsic laws that operate when people work together in a team, organization, or business. By understanding the systemic structure of a team, company, or market, you can pinpoint the root causes of problems like why a company isn’t thriving, or why customers are leaving, or why innovation and creativity are stagnating. We’ll address these and other issues, finding effective solutions together.
Participants will explore the relationship dynamics within a team or company, discovering what leads to failure and what fosters success. True success happens when we understand and respect the hidden laws that govern how work teams function.
Whether you're a leader in business or other areas of life, knowing these laws is crucial for achieving satisfying outcomes and creating a cooperative, supportive atmosphere where everyone feels relaxed, safe, and in their rightful place. Alongside gaining this clarity, you’ll also have the chance to resolve personal issues related to work, creativity, business, or money as these issues often stem from unresolved family dynamics affecting many generations.
We’ll use group members who aren't part of the problem situation to represent people or parts of the company, and through watching the relational dynamics we find solutions that create positive change.

TRainings: The Roots of Love
-
The Basic Training is offered in two parts of eight days each for a total of sixteen days.
On one hand this training is a deep self-healing experience, while on the other hand it offers you all the basic theoretical and practical principles of Family Constellation work.
In this newly designed training we will go further than ordinary Family Constellation therapy by developing an understanding that our family members also represent our own inner energy. During the training we will seamlessly shift from looking out to looking in, from being focused on others to coming back to ourselves. In this meditative approach, we understand the basic principle that the world is a mirror that shows us who we are.
Prerequisite for booking: Previous experience in Family Constellation work or personal interview
Daily meditations are an integral part of the training.
Level 1: Healing the Roots (8 Days)
Here we explore the energy field that a child is born into and how this informs the layers of his mind. A therapist needs to learn to tune into this energy field so that they may be more able to understand the behaviour and feelings of a client. A constellation is merely a tool or method we use to make the relational dynamics and energy field clearly visible, which helps us to know what best serves healing.
In this part of the training we learn about the parent-child relationship (family of origin) and the man-woman relationship (present family) and what the underlying laws that operate in these relationships are.
Each participant will have the opportunity to experience deeper layers of his mind and in this way understand their family and social conditioning, not only by seeing his own constellation, but also by watching and participating for others in their constellations.
Svagito explains step by step what each constellation reveals, how to stay tuned to the energy of a constellation, and uncover what will allow the love of the family system to flow again. In this understanding, our awareness grows, and our love and gratitude become deeper.
Some of the topics covered:
Love and order in a family system
Understanding bonding
Resolving guilt and shame
What supports love in the parent-child and the man-woman relationship
The function of conscience
The balance of giving and taking
The difference between blind love and conscious love
The interrupted movement to the mother
The dynamic between victim and perpetrator
Life, death and the unknown
Osho Family Constellation is based in meditation. It is rooted in a deep acceptance of life as it is, rather than striving continuously for things to be different. This method is not about fixing family issues, but rather about allowing love to flow naturally and in its own time. When we can honour what is, therapy ends and meditation begins.
This training does not qualify you to practice constellations as such, it rather enables anyone already working with people to expand their skills and broaden their understanding. It is therefore well-suited to professionals and newcomers alike.

Level 2: Beyond Family (8 Days)
In level 2 we explore more complicated issues and their underlying family dynamics, like addiction, abortion, adoption, sexual abuse and others. We learn how to discover the family dynamics behind many illnesses and bodily symptoms, and how to work towards healing with a systemic understanding.
Participants will also begin to practice simple, solution-oriented therapeutic interventions that follow the understanding they have gained in level 1 and that arise from watching the systemic field and the movements of the representatives.
We will also learn more about the role and inner attitude of a facilitator of Family Constellation and how to allow the intrinsic love of a family to come through, as only then may lasting solutions be found.
Some topics include:
Recognizing and supporting healing movements (‘movements of the soul’)
The interview before a constellation: how to gather relevant information
Steps to setting up a constellation
When to end or interrupt a constellation
The effects of spoken sentences that heal
The functioning of systems other than family systems (such as work teams and organizations), Issues regarding money, work and creativity
Practice of constellation work
Constellations in individual sessions: working with symbols
Moving "beyond family" relates to the movement within the constellation that takes us from the blind love of family bonding, towards a more conscious love. It is this conscious awareness that supports the process of inner growth, and brings the individual into a deep synchronicity with life itself, and therefore one is able to feel more joy in being alone.
During the whole training each participant will experience and understand family conditioning and has the opportunity to put up his own constellation. We will also learn by watching and taking part in other participants’ constellations. The process of this work will be made transparent as the therapist explains step-by-step what is happening within each constellation and how the source of love can be found.
***
When the family has been brought into its natural order, the individual can leave it behind him while still feeling the strength of his family supporting him. Only when the connection to his family is acknowledged, and the person’s responsibility seen clearly and then distributed, can the individual feel unburdened and go about his personal affairs without anything from the past weighing him down or holding him back.
Bert Hellinger (from a seminar transcript) -
Advanced Training Level 3
(8 Days)This advanced training is open for everyone who has completed level 1 and 2 of the Family Constellation Foundation Training. It deals specifically with refining our skills in working with people, and teaches concepts and strategies to help body and mind to heal, and to renegotiate the effects of trauma and states of shock in human life.
While Family Constellation helps us understand how in the relational field of a family we take over the traumas of others, we add now a complementary somatic approach, mostly stemming from the work of Somatic Experiencing. We learn how our body responds to traumatic stress and what will serve our body to find healing and self-regulation again. In this approach we focus on bodily sensations, to release the powerful survival energy that got frozen in the nervous system. By working on the physiological level, insights from a constellation can be better integrated and re-traumatisation can be avoided. In trauma-work, we support a gradual process of recovering our life energy from a frozen state and learn to integrate it into our body and mind. Unless we fully reach also to the physiological level where the energy is stored, no lasting healing is possible.
Topics covered:
• Understanding trauma and post-traumatic stress
• The physiology of trauma and the stress response
• The general treatment approach and basic concepts
• The work with emotions
• Using touch as therapeutic tool
• Constellation practise with special consideration of trauma
Each day there will be theory, followed by demonstration sessions and supervised practices. By combining Family Constellation with a somatic approach we again broaden our understanding of how to deal with personal and collective trauma and become more sensitive how to prepare a client for a constellation. Personal and collective traumas are often interwoven.
On a personal level we find a deeper connection to our body and how to overcome post-traumatic stress. This strengthens our ability to stay present to others and to ourselves in all kinds of challenging life situations.

The trauma you avoid will eventually destroy you.
The trauma you deal with will become your strength. -
If you have completed the Basic Training you can join one of our supervision groups. These are specifically designed for those who are already working with people, or for those who are interested in taking constellation work to a deeper level with the help of direct feedback.
It is also possible to join the Basic Training again as part of an Internship. This includes receiving extra teaching sessions outside the training hours. It is a chance to gather further experience in a group of more advanced students.
