“We are affected by the seven generations that come before us and affect the seven generations that will follow.” Francesca M. Boring, Shoshone elder.
8 module facilitator training with Róisín Fallon
Training as a family constellations facilitator will open up your life fully and authentically. It is a deep self-experience on one hand, while on the other hand transmitting all the basic theoretical and practical principles of Bert Hellinger’s healing work.
Setting this residential training in the beautiful hills of Donegal and Immersing the group fully in the elements and the holding of the land will further enhance the journey.
In this safe space we can look deeper into our own patterns and our learnt dynamics and entanglements, and open up to see them through a systemic lens. Moving through this learning, we can then bring this powerful healing work back to our families and communities.
