Eligibility & Requirements
This in-depth training is rooted in the classic Family & Systemic Constellations approach developed by Bert Hellinger and incorporates modern techniques.

Have participated in at least two personal constellations as a client with Jo Amrein-Palairet or another Family & Systemic Constellations facilitator.
