What Others Are SayingStudent Testimonials for the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 Systemic Constellation Facilitator Coaching and Training Programs and Others Ute Luppertz, Educator "The constellation training has been foremost a tool for my personal development. As an educator, it provided me with deeper insights on hidden classroom dynamics and in working with colleagues. I have learned new ways of perceiving and observing my students, especially regarding behavioral difficulties". Lori Stargrove, Naturopathic Physician "Both professionally and personally, the Human Systems Institute training has provided me with a forum for tremendous growth. In addition to deepening my understanding of the profound relationship between body and mind, I have learned a variety of new tools pertaining to group facilitation. I would strongly encourage all healthcare practitioners to study constellation work as it takes its place in the revolutionary medicine of the future". Barbara Lilly, Owner/President Lillywing Communications "I was drawn to this work after experiencing Jane Peterson's sensitive, intuitive and highly observant approach. She truly cares about healing families and organizations so that we can create a better world. The work has been transforming for me personally in the way I look at my own health challenge and in the way I approach my work in bringing teams together in small and large companies. My approach to conflict resolution now begins with an appreciation of the family systems of each team member and how they carry that experience into their team relationships. My interviewing techniques now include questions about family constellations. Because I have another tool to use when things appear too complex or without solutions, I am also able to coach and consult with leaders, business owners and change agents more effectively. This tool is the missing link in a holistic approach to organizational healing. I believe this cutting-edge work will dramatically transform the way organizations, teams, and their leaders "see" their roles and how energy flows to find solutions..". Marcus Abernathy "Being in a family constellations workshop is an experience I love. This process gives me a deep understanding of the lives of people and their families, and I feel that they are in fact my kin. With their gentle power, family constellations make us connect with the deeper forces of life. I am thrilled to have the chance to study this work. During our first year of training, Jane has introduced us to the essentials of the craft of facilitating systemic constellations. The comprehensive curriculum is demanding, and the insights are gratifying. The skills that I am learning are invaluable for both my personal growth and professional development. Yet it is so much more than that. I have embarked on an exciting journey. Lynn Reer, PhD, Educator “As a professor of education, I have keenly observed and learned from Jane Peterson's skill as a teacher. Her presentations are carefully geared to suit all of our learning styles. She encourages us to read in areas that we are particularly interested in. She pays close attention to each of our strengths and areas that need developing and structures her assignments on an individual basis to address these needs. When speaking to a group, she attends most carefully to the group's state. And, as an excellent trainer of trainers, she points out to us what she is doing, so that we can learn to do the same thing. “Though I brought some knowledge about behavior and psychology to this course, my understanding about how the mind works has expanded tremendously. We have explored both the commonalities and the inordinate variations of human behavior and perception, and I am more able to label and classify them and yet be awed by the beauty of how many ways people respond to their experiences. “We all learned how to pay exquisite attention to aspects of communication that we had ignored before. In my case, I have learned many visual cues to watch for and how to notice my own body teachings. I learned how to notice--when a client presents an issue--what is truly important to that client, how to separate old stories from pertinent information, and how to give information to a client and observe that person's response. I am using these skills in many areas of my life beyond constellation work. “I have learned how to notice my own state at any time and to change that state in order to gain more information, recover balance after an unbalancing event, or adjust to a client's needs.” Eileen Knox, Educator How has participating in the program affected you? “Participation in the facilitator program has heightened my perceptual awareness and understanding of myself and other people in my life. It has deepened my appreciation for our human experience. And it has expanded the boundaries of my belief structure.” What are some of the most important learnings you have gained from the program thus far? “The Orders of Love are part our human inheritance. When we can accept and acknowledge their reality as they manifest in our lives, we experience a degree of freedom from entanglement.” How have you benefited from the program, both personally and professionally? “As a professional educator, I have improved my ability to perceive the non-verbal language cues of my students and to frame my communication with them so that it interacts more readily with their personal learning style. I have gained the ability to remain centered in the midst of their drama so that I can help them access a more resourceful learning state.” What would you want to tell another student about the program? “About the trainer? I truly value a curriculum with organization and structure enough to build skill sets and open enough to accommodate each participant's individuality. Jane has mastered the subtle dance of give and take between coach and learner by challenging and supporting me on my journey toward my personal goals.” Marianne Murry, PhD, Facilitator “When I realized that I wanted to train as a constellation facilitator I looked into several programs, thinking initially that it might be best to train in as close proximity to the originator of the work, Bert Hellinger, as possible. What I discovered, however, was that the format of most trainings did not offer the depth of inquiry, or the honing of awareness and perceptual skills that Jane has designed into her program. In the end it was a simple decision. This was clearly a training/coaching program in which I could engage and learn to the depth that I was seeking. “As a participant I’m growing and learning on many fronts, personally and professionally. My understanding of the underlying principles of the work has profoundly influenced the ways in which I make meaning - my worldview is literally shifting and changing. Developing skills of seeing and feeling the field is becoming a practice that I can take into most situations of life. I’m becoming a more effective and sensitive communicator as this awareness deepens. And, at a personal level, I have been able to acknowledge some of the ways in which I have been entangled and to make clear choices that are honoring of my family system. “I joined the training fully intending to become a facilitator. Now, three-quarters of the way through the training, I’m leading a regular practice group in my community and am planning to start offering groups in the autumn. The learning won’t stop with the end of the program, in fact I know I’m just at the beginning, but I can feel the solidity of the foundation on which I stand and that, to me, is a clear recognition of the quality of this training. “Jane is a rigorous and delightful trainer. She challenges, encourages, provokes and supports. She possesses very refined skills as a therapist and researcher and she makes them explicit in the training in a way that I’ve not experienced before. In other words, what she teaches comes right out of her own experience of learning and inquiring into the constellation work. She has forged a path of understanding, and now invites us to join her in the exploration. “In short, I highly recommend this program for anyone who has a passion for learning, a willingness to explore inwardly, and who wants to gain a deep understanding of systemic constellations. For those who want to become facilitators of the constellation work, I can’t imagine a more thorough grounding and skill building process. Jane’s coaching and guidance is invaluable.” Harry Zweben "The constellation work has been both fulfilling and fruitful, and it |
