The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly - you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over

Eckhart Tolle

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

St Augustine

Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Marianne Williamson

While still remaining who you are, you can bring about a quantum leap in your awareness, and the sign that the leap is real will be some emergent property you never experienced in the past.

Deepak Chopra

Why does the mind habitually deny or resist the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past and future, so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseparable.

Eckhart Tolle

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person.

Thich Nhat Hanh

There is a saying in Tibetan, "Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength." No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.

Dalai Lama

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

Dalai Lama

Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.

Maslow

There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers... And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.

Maslow

"We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time."

T.S. Eliot

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now -- when?"

Hillel

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

Carl Jung

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Walt Whitman

Testimonials

Level 2 of ‘Systemic Theory & Practice in Family Constellations’ is an experiential course. In my experience this work is amazing to understand intergenerational trauma, honouring ancestors and including every experience and everyone without judgment. I have come to realize the unconscious patterns, sabotages and movements towards life and death. As a sports psychologist, I can see how constellation work can open blocks and the way emerges for sustainable performance.

I work as a sports psychologist with elite athletes and high-performing teams. I also work as a guest faculty of sports psychology.

Priyanka Prabhakar – Sports Psychologist 

At the beginning of L2, I was unclear how I would integrate working with family constellations and the coaching work that I do. All I knew was that a systemic lens was opened for me and I could not unsee it as I worked with people in a coaching context. I took a step into L2 very tentatively, and I am so glad that Annie held my hand as I took that step. This work is immense and is slowly making its way to my clients in ways I could not foresee.

Of course, L2 prepared me to open constellations with clients, and that seems almost a secondary experience for me. L2 has first been a deeply healing and perspective shifting experience for me personally. I experienced a deepening and an expansion within myself. L2 has also shaped the way in which I hold space for my clients. Bert’s high art of helping guides me on the position I take with clients and keeps me grounded.

Looking back, I now realise that I have received so much more than what my initial intention might have been. I am humbled and ever so grateful.

I am a Systemic Transition Coach and I partner with people as they navigate the labyrinth of transitions in their inner or outer lives.

Nitasha Adya – Systemic Transition Coach

Working systemically serves to untangle the narratives of the client.  Once they start seeing their place and role in the system, Family constellation helps the clients to only take responsibility for what is theirs.  In doing this, they feel a huge relief and freedom.
