​The Essential Elements of Facilitation helps participants grow, mature, and thrive in their understanding and practice of Family Constellations.

The Essential Elements of Facilitation offers an in-depth exploration of the philosophy, principles, and skills essential for facilitating Family Constellations Therapy.
 
We delve into 13 essential topics through lectures, discussions, and interactive activities such as role-playing, Zoom room exercises, and demonstrations of constellations. This comprehensive approach fosters a profound phenomenological understanding of family systems, free from judgment or pity.
 
In collaboration with the knowing field, we gain access to information and intuitions that guide us in identifying the appropriate moments and interventions to facilitate healing resolutions for clients.
 
Throughout the course, we will explore valuable resources including helpful books, articles, and videos, complemented by notes and charts to elucidate key concepts and insights.

​The profound work of Bert Hellinger serves as the foundation for our understanding of hidden systemic dynamics and their resolution.

Testimonials About the Essential Elements of Facilitation

I have recently completed the Virtual Mentoring Programme (Essential Elements of Facilitation) with Barry. It has been a wonderful, deep, insightful, enriching and inspiring journey with Barry and such a diverse and lovely group of people. Barry is an integral teacher who embodies generosity, wisdom, warmth and directness. He is a gifted facilitator with laser focus and upholds the work of Bert Hellinger with deep respect and clarity. He holds a strong and compassionate container that allows real transformation to unfold. I feel my knowledge of family constellations and facilitation has been brought to the next level under Barry’s guidance and expertise. I have experienced so many inner movements on a personal level and, as well as gaining new knowledge and perspective, I feel fuller as a facilitator. Thank you, Barry, for your generous heart and all you bring to this field of work.

-- Rebecca Hadrill, Family & Organisational Constellations Facilitator, TRE Provider, Ireland

Barry’s pragmatic and deeply informed approach to Family Constellations is exactly what I was looking for. I have appreciated this method and philosophy for quite a while, and have been using it in my practice, but I knew that doing a more methodical training would be a big boost for both my understanding and my confidence in working with others. I have not been disappointed! Barry’s excellent teaching skills combined with his thorough knowledge of the work has greatly enriched me as both a practitioner and as a human. I highly recommend it!

"When I signed up for the Training and Mentoring, my goal was not to become a facilitator.
It was simply to learn more about family and systemic constellations.  In that respect, I’ve been richly rewarded.  

It has been a truly transformative experience!  I’ve grown as an individual, gained strength and resilience.  I have a newly expanded world view.  And I have new and enormous compassion for all human beings—victims, perpetrators, parents, children—all of us—knowing that we all are struggling with systemic issues."
