The Horses
4-DAY MASTERCLASS
In this highly experiential 4-day retreat - from Monday lunch until Friday lunch - we take you on a journey to refine and deepen your systemic intuition by seeing it reflected by the horses.
We are expanding your systemic toolkit and your range of constellation modalities.
Thoughout this week, the horses are our wise teachers. By constellating in the meadow or indoor arena we experience how horses make visible what needs to be seen.
Experience first hand what it truly means to be part of the herd and let yourself be amazed by how the herd naturaly offers space for healing movements in our systemic interventions.

Requirements
If you haven’t studied with one of us before, please set up an intake call so that we get an indication of your systemic journey so far.
There is no prerequisite to have any experience with horses or to have access to horses. Most of you will probably not actively work with horses in the future. The horses are our teachers in this program, as they will template a refined and heightened systemic awareness so that this masterclass becomes an embodied experience.
Due to its international character, this masterclass will be given in English.
