Ways of Participation
Event-by-Event
Participation in the Constellations Workshops and the Thematic Modules is open to any participant. You can attend any Module or Workshop you are interested in.
The Thematic Modules are separate from the Constellations Workshops. You can participate in one, or the other, or both.
Throughout the entire curriculum, you can participate in one event, or several or all events.
You don’t have to commit to the Facilitator Training to attend a Thematic Module or a Constellations Workshop.
Full Training
If you wish to train as a facilitator in Systemic Constellations, please check out the requirements further below.
You can complete all modules, workshops, and other events at your own convenience: at any time, in any order.
The Mandatory Modules will be offered at least once within the required 2-year period, but – based on student demand – can be scheduled more than once.
This applies to all other events and requirements, too.
Community
One of the best parts of participating in any of our events is that you instantly and automatically become a part of a wonderful community.
No commitment is required – yet the people you share the experience of a constellation with will most likely stay in your mind and heart for a long time.
We are a bunch of people interested in learning about ourselves, about the human mind and the human condition, and who are interested in exploring, experimenting, and discovering.
Even more so, we are interested in having fun together and connecting with each other on a really deep level.
And did I mention having fun together …? 🙂
Educational Units
Thematic Modules are short (3 hrs) but intensive educational and experiential units focusing on one topic or area.
Each module consists of a lecture, some skills training, practical exercises, self-experiential exploration, as well as possible home assignments.
Family/Organizational Constellations Workshops offer participants a safe and confidential space to work on any personal, relationship, life situation, career, or business issue with the help of the group (representatives) and the group leader.
The workshops are open to any participant on a one-off basis, no longer-term commitment is required.
Group Supervision sessions are for those participants (students) who are planning to facilitate constellation work in their own practice.
In these sessions, students can take their first steps toward running real-life constellations with the help of a trained therapist/supervisor.
Participants work on their own issues by choosing a peer facilitator. If needed, the supervisor provides help and guidance.
Peer Practice sessions are organized by groups of students without the presence of a trained therapist/supervisor.
In these sessions, students work on their own issues by choosing a peer facilitator. If needed, the peer group provides help and guidance.
Observation of Other Practitioners is organized by each individual student based on their own interests and on the availability of other constellation practitioners.
The goal is for future facilitators to get familiar with a number of different styles and approaches of constellation work.

Disclaimer
Systemic Family & Organizational Constellations – as most psychotherapeutic techniques – are taught by various different individuals, institutions, associations, and professional organizations throughout the world. There is no standard training, no standard certification, and indeed no accreditation authority to assess and compare the many different schools and training programs that are offered internationally.
This training does not confer to students the title of a ‘therapist’ which can only be acquired through an accredited academic training and state licensure in psychology, mental health counseling, clinical social work, psychotherapy, and similar disciplines in mental health.
The Certificate of Completion is not a professional degree in its own right, rather it is a certificate showcasing your personal and professional accomplishment. It can be used in conjunction with other degrees, certificates, licenses, and titles in mental health and business/executive coaching.

Anna’s ability to use metaphors and analogies to explain even the most complex concepts is just awesome.
Her way of speaking in metaphors is an art form in itself, and learning from her is not only the highest level of education but also pure entertainment. She is funny, creative, and while she is really serious and to the point, she can turn everything into something humorous! A great teacher indeed!
She is everything I need in finding myself out. Dr Fekete is very insightful and I look forward to continue working with her to fix myself.
Family Constellation & Business Constellation – workshop

We all have challenges that seem to defy our best efforts — depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career and financial challenges, self-sabotaging patterns, history of trauma, addictions, somatic symptoms, etc. — and that we just cannot seem to master through traditional counseling.
In this workshop, Dr. Anna will work — with the help of the group and representatives — on individual clients’ personal, relationship, career, financial, business related, or any other issues using a range of techniques of Systemic Family Constellation Therapy.
