Introducing the Elders
Step into the heart of our Masterclass Series, Sitting with the Elders. These Masterclasses are a profound journey, a testament to reverence and the power of voice. We invite you to meet our Constellation and Systemic Elders, integral members of the first generation trained by Hellinger in Classical Constellations. They are the custodians of the roots of our work, and it’s our mission to ensure their voices echo through time.
In each Masterclass, we provide a unique opportunity to sit under the shade of ancestral wisdom. Imagine yourself on a sunlit afternoon, surrounded by the well-ruminated reflections of our most respected teachers. Their years of experience and contemplation are now yours to explore.
