"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
---Albert Einstein

Learn to use your intuition, sharpen your perception, become fully present with yourself and others, live and work from your center, recognize energetic boundaries, and much more: This is a program of transformation through heart opening, self knowledge and connection to the universal field of consciousness. While releasing old feeling and belief pattern through in-depth constellation work, participants learn to listen to and rely on their intuitive voice which speaks to them always but is rarely listened to. As a result students will learn what it means and how it feels to become fully present in their lives and to live with an open, fearless heart. The rational mind is quieted and learns to work harmoniously with with heart, body, soul and the intuitive mind. When students open their heart and have frequent interaction with the Knowing Field, becoming a facilitator of constellations is merely an extension of this process. All that is further needed is experience through parctice.

This class is as much about personal transformation as it is about becoming a facilitator. You will empty your life's backpack as an active or supportive participant in many constellations. This will change your perspective on life in general, away from one of self-centered, personal story-based separate self, to deeper truth and compassion and re-union with All. You will discern how your heart speaks to you and learn how easy it can be to live with its wisdom. Without the baggage of the past, you gain confidence, courage and practice to live your life as your unique and authentic self while staying connected to the unified field of consciousness. You will complete this class a different person than when you signed up for it.

Since we cannot assist others to address their core issues, before we have done our own work, this class is invaluable for aspiring constellation facilitators at all levels of training, as well as for all healers and lay people who wish to broaden their perception and learn to use their own body awareness as an instrument to "read" energetic information. This ability is very useful in all dealings with people at a personal or professional level, as it helps to interact more effectively while keeping healthy boundaries and staying centered.

Future constellation facilitators will appreciate the hands-on, interactive learning and encouragement that comes from working (and playing) in the “Knowing Field” with a seasoned facilitator and personable teacher.

Prerequisites:
No prerequisites are required. However, we recommend reading the book Love's Hidden Symmetry before the course.

Expectations:
We expect participants to be committed to a path of self-exploration as the continued participation in constellation work is a life changing process.
Facilitators in this work have to be willing to do their own inner work and clear their own energy field in order to guide and support others to do the same.
We would like students to be self-motivated and eager to enhance their learning by reading books and studying related materials, as suggested by the trainer. Students should attend all public workshops led by their trainer if at all possible. They are an important part of the training.
Participation in a monthly student-led study and practice group is highly encouraged.

Certification:
You will be receiving a certificate for the completion of this training program if you don't miss more than two classes. Certification is only an acknowledgement that the training program has been completed. Certification does not mean that the participant has achieved excellence in facilitating family constellations nor is it an endorsement by the trainer. No training program can teach the depth and artistry that is a result of experience and integrity in facilitating this work.
We strive to provide our students with a solid foundation of understanding and practice of the work on which their skills and passion can grow. We encourage their continued training and practice in other programs or study groups.

Schedule:
12 training days over the next 15 months, starting on October 3rd, 2011. Most sessions are held back to back, three of them will be some of them will follow an introductory evening and workshop. At least one session of the training emphasizes practical experience with people from outside the group in public practice workshops under instructor supervision and with constructive feed-back. Even students who are taking this class for personal growth will find it gratifying to practice what they've learned.

This is a tentative schdule. Dates for the first half of 2012 will be set in the fall of 2011.
If you must miss the workshop and/or first session, you may begin the Learning Circle with the second session. It is strongly recommended that you attend the workshop on October 1-2, and the introduction on Sept.30th, to experience constellation work with the other members of the Training Circle.

Cost:
The cost for new students is $200. per training day.
The fee for returning students who wish to continue their learning is $100. Second year students are encouraged to lead a study/peer practice group.

Location:
Sarasota, FL

"The Learning Circle was a great way to deepen both my understanding and my experience of following the energy in family constellations. Brigitte is a very gifted facilitator and teacher, and her warmth and intuition make learning easy and fun. There is so much value in meeting on a regular basis with a group of like-minded people who are also exploring the depth and beauty of family constellation work. It was a very heartfelt bonding experience with the other members of the circle."
-- Bryan Brewer, Seattle

"I learned how to stay focused on my feelings, discern the difference between what I was thinking and what I was feeling. I came to trust my intuition at a new level and go deeper than I ever have with other people’s issues, while respecting our boundaries. This all came about because of Brigitte’s ability to share what she knows so well, her deep compassion and non-judgment. Brigitte’s leadership enabled a group of strangers to come together in a deep and powerful way that has positively influenced my life .
I would recommend this class to anyone who is seeking to know themselves and others in their wholeness."
--Liz Barr, Bothell

"I was part of the original 2004/05 Family Constellation Learning Circle. The level of commitment our group expressed by gathering in service to ourselves, our growth and to the intent of learning Family Constellation work together, brought me into a transformative level of trust and intimacy. Additionally, Brigitte’s presence, exquisite facilitating skill, insight and compassion helped me become vulnerable, at a core level, to LOVE. A very young disconnection within me healed. I no longer shake in the presence of a group. I can feel loved…no longer threatened or fearful. Since I work as an energy healer and workshop leader, this is a major contribution in living and expressing Life. "

"Learning Circle has been an experience of opening my heart, and seeing goodness in all of life. My growth has changed my perspective from needing to carry around ‘old stories’ to living the present, with acceptance and love."
--Christina Wright-Lonheim,
Psycho-spiritual counselor,
Seattle

" The Learning Circle is a great opportunity to dive deeper into the Family Constellation mystery, with a very skilled, intuitive teacher. The simplicity and heart-centered nature of this work is profound. It is beneficial to explore this with a group, to grow and learn together, to experience great insight and great healing in a safe space. The continuity and the community is powerful. Having my heart opened up in front of a group of peers, and feel acceptance, love and compassion is a deep healing. I am grateful for my family and my ancestors, and feel their support in ways that were not accessible before this experience."
--Wendy Mintiero,

"I decided to do the Learning Circle two times because I wanted to continue my own personal work. Family Constellations has helped me greatly to perceive the world with my heart and intuition rather than my intellect. It has been a humbling experience that I can truly recommend to anybody who would like deeper insight into the workings of their own family soul and into their own personal behavioral patterns. Brigitte's compassionate guidance has helped facilitate a healing from the heart and has opened doors to many other wonderful people who have all been part of her Learning Circles."
