All sessions take place online via Zoom, running from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time across each of the three days. Upon completion of the training, participants receive a Certificate of Attendance.
Course Content and Approach
This program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in the core principles of Family Constellation, taught from the perspective of the Family Energy Field. There are no prerequisites required for enrollment in this Foundation training.
Modular Format
The training is delivered in modules. If a participant is unable to attend a specific weekend, they can retake the same module during a future offering. A copy of the modules taught is attached for reference.
Preparation Materials
Before each weekend, participants receive via mail or email a booklet of course material and a recommended reading list to help them prepare. The booklet is included in the course fee. The recommended books can be purchased through our online store or from Amazon.
