Train with elders

For all constellation facilitators, it is essential to continue learning throughout their lives, particularly by observing the work of others who are more experienced or come from a different culture or school of thought.

Stella Iter Formation is committed to facilitating these exchanges by offering at least one advanced training course per year with a facilitator recognized by the international community, with translation into French provided.

The hope is that these meetings will lead to the creation of a community of French facilitators, as exists in other countries, and bring new exchanges between French facilitators and the international community. If you are an established facilitator or a person in training, you are warmly invited to join us at these international meetings.

Speaker in 2027: Francesca Mason Boring

In 2027, I am fortunate to welcome Francesca Mason Boring to Poitiers for three days of training and practice for people trained in and practicing systemic constellation facilitation.

Francesca is a bicultural facilitator and trainer. Drawing on the work of many pioneers in systemic constellations, as well as her own Indigenous heritage, Mason-Boring has contributed to the integration of the concepts of ceremony and ritual into constellation work, as well as to the inclusion of nature in facilitation and trauma support.

Advanced training in family and systemic constellations

Training objectives:

  • Improve the positioning and care of a client/patient in a professional setting.

  • Acquire techniques that improve the effectiveness of support during a constellation.

  • Integrate this new information into professional practice.

  • Implement new intervention strategies.

  • Support professionals who are already trained and practicing systemic and family constellations.

  • Already be oriented and trained in supporting people through family constellations.

  • Deepen your understanding of what nourishes relationship and intimacy in a couple

  • Manage imbalance in couple relationships

  • Acquire tools for working with couples in constellations.

  • Perfect your mastery of different types of intervention depending on the issue at hand (sexuality, children, blended families, grief, etc.)

Who is it for?

  • People already trained and practicing systemic constellations

Level of knowledge required

  • You need to have done a full constellations training or be in training at this time.

These three days of training will focus on :

Nature constellations

Nature Constellations open the doors to our understanding and intimacy in and with nature and natural systems. During this workshop many things are possible.  We will explore templates for working with nature in constellation and further our personal relationships with the natural world.  Nature Constellations have supported those who are wishing to be informed regarding right relationship with the earth and all of the interfacing activities that human beings engage with.

We have been able to support:

NGO’s which work with marginalized communities and have specific issues regarding land use, farming, agrarian economic development and culture.

Bee keepers have benefited in being able to ‘hear’ the wish of the bees.

Landscape architects and gardeners have been able to gain understanding of inter-relationships and needs in the environment.

Pet lovers have gained insight into their more than human relationships and in some cases have been supported through constellations to process grief and loss of a beloved companion.

Nature constellations expand our definition of belonging, when we understand that we are never alone.  Every tear shed under a tree, or beside a river is remembered and held by the land.  The place of our birth retains a memory of our entry and hold us dearly at our end. You are welcome to this exploration.  Trust what your heart wants to bring.

During these days Francesca will guide participants in strengthening their ability to work with and for Nature with more awareness. There will be theory, exercises and demonstrations.

French translation will be provided throughout the course.

What our trainees say

  • I feel so fortunate to have been able to take part in the training course on family constellations for couples. The insights shared by Judith Heming were invaluable, and Laure Porché conveyed them with great skill. The practical exercises helped me to grow as a person. I can clearly feel a before and after. Professionally, I have learnt to understand the importance of the relationship within a couple and the positive impact we can have through constellations. I now want to incorporate these teachings into my practice to contribute to the well-being of couples. Thank you to Laure Porché and Stella Iter Formation for this wonderful programme and the excellent organisation.

  • Thank you very much for organizing this advanced training course with Bill Mannle. As a French woman with limited English, it was a great opportunity to meet him, see him in action, and benefit from all his advice. The weekend was very rich and intense, full of learning, discoveries, and humanity.

  • These three days of training organised by Laure, with Judith Hemming sharing her insights on supporting couples through constellations, were extraordinary. We came together, exchanged ideas and shared intense, unforgettable moments within a vibrant group of around fifty people. Judith’s years of practical experience, her presence, her humanity and her warm smiles are a true gift.

    Thank you to Laure for giving us the opportunity to meet Judith.

  • This training was truly enriching and energizing. Thank you to Laure for organizing this type of event. I hope there will be many more. It's energizing to meet other facilitators. The speaker's level of experience and practice was interesting and rich, opening up new possibilities for my own practice.

  • Beyond the interesting encounters and rich exchanges, this training weekend brought me calm and inner peace, but also unexpected and positive developments in relation to issues I worked on during the practical workshops.

  • I loved watching Judith bring to light a simple, unadorned bond of love between two people.

    I enjoyed seeing her swiftly strip it of all its excess, of everything superfluous, with a few short, effective sentences.

    I then watched her work to shape this refined, bare, fragile yet strong bond, much like a potter, lifting the clay a finger’s breadth above her wheel.

    And finally, I saw her, with just a few words, lead us to unsuspected realms where love is transcended.

    Thank you, Judith,

    Thank you, Laure.

  • This experience was very enriching for me on many levels. I had to step out of my comfort zone because it's not easy for me to be in a group where I don't know anyone and have to show my vulnerability. It was my first challenge and I learned a lot about myself and really grew as a person.

  • I feel lucky to have been able to participate in this training with someone like Bill, an international facilitator with immense experience. Thank you for the caring and safe environment without which this deep exploration work could not have been done. It has further strengthened my desire to practice constellations, to learn, and to share!

    I hope to see you soon for another training!

  • I feel lucky and privileged to have had the opportunity to draw on all of Judith’s experience and expertise during this training weekend. It was a very intensive course and will no doubt require a significant amount of time to fully absorb, as every lesson, every exercise and every facilitation went straight to the heart of the matter. Like a novice musician meeting a virtuoso, I don’t think I have fully grasped the richness and subtlety of what I’ve learnt, but I have no doubt that its fruits and its impact on my way of being in the world and my approach as a therapist will continue to resonate for a long time to come.
