"Out beyond the conventional definitions of families and family members and all their entanglements, there are many valid domains in which there are still other forces and factors that massively influence our experience as human beings."-Carl Buchheit
Holographic Constellations introduces you to constellation facilitation concepts and techniques that go beyond the limits of what Hellinger’s “family soul” is usually considered to be.
As you might guess from its title, course content for Holographic Constellations comes out of the constellation work that Carl Buchheit and Carla Camou have been facilitating for about 15 years in NLP Marin’s Holographic NLP courses. It will powerfully extend your range of experience with constellations and your confidence if you are a facilitator of this remarkable work.
This course consists of two 2-day weekends, during which people can experience holographic constellations first-hand and deepen their understanding of constellation work.
What Carl Has To Say...
The whole objective of the Holographic Constellations course is to majorly upgrade your rapport with yourself as a facilitator and as a representative, and also to answer about a thousand questions as best we can.
Compared with conventional constellations, the Holo approach is noticeably less concerned with events and violations of Hellinger’s “Orders of Love.” Thus, the Holo Constellation approach is usually a lot less about the facilitator’s becoming a competent trans-generational Sherlock Holmes, and much more about that facilitator’s capacity and willingness to occupy their own proper weight and dignity, and thereby to allow themselves and the people in the group to activate and fulfill a function we call “Authoritative and Patient Includer” (API).
The API facilitator is not there to sleuth out past wrongs and set them right, thus restoring dignity and order for all, etc. “Orders of Love” violations are always a part of things, however, and when it is useful, they will always reveal themselves. But this is not the main point in the Holo format.
It is our experience that The Field—that which allows the gradual unfolding of non-local information about our human experience (“non-local” meaning coming from outside of usual time/space boundaries)—operates in support of our well-being. It is our experience that The Field is an intelligent, conscious presence that always seeks to help.
As you may know, the purpose of all of our NLP Marin classes and courses is to assist us all to experience more and more rapport with ourselves, with other-selves (“with others,” in common parlance), and with Life Itself. Learning to be in rapport with The Field is a tremendously useful extension of Rapport with Life itself.
The main point of the facilitator’s role in the Holo Constellation format is to provide a context of attention and awareness within which the consciousness of various forces and identities can, after an initial nudge or two from the facilitator, find a way to unravel themselves, and to unfold enfolded distortions of love through the presence and inclusion of That Which Cannot Be Distorted.
This is a new and different level in the art form called “constellation facilitation.” Here are some other generalizations about Holographic Constellations:
Holographic Constellations are systemic rather than just family. They usually produce the effects of about three constellations in one.
There are often no words spoken between and among roles and their representatives. The Holo approach is much less narrative than the conventional approach. Rather than having roles speak lines to other roles, we fix it up so that the distortions behind the words can just unwind themselves. (Note: as a facilitator, knowing what one might want Role A to say to Role B is really useful, and having it not said is often more useful.)
It is possible to do beautiful constellation work, Holo style, and not know anything about family history. The client interview itself is often unnecessary.
Holo Constellations is not about the lore of Hellingerian Cause/Effect or the decoding of what this and that means–-this kind of turning and that sort looking and that manner of laying down, etc. Although this knowledge is essential, we will assume that you have at least the basics of it already.
Who This Is For
This weekend is open to everyone; no NLP or family constellation experience is required. If you are not familiar with constellation work at all, we strongly suggest you attend our Wednesday Evening Constellations for free on August 13th before the class starts on August 16th.
Whether you attend to learn more about holo constellations to sharpen your facilitation skills or to be in the field and experience change for yourself and witness change in others, you will gain a lot from the powerful weekend.
For those who have completed the Understanding Family Constellations or the Exploring Family & Systemic Constellations course, you already know the immense value of constellation work, and you will expand your understanding of what's possible with constellation work, whether you choose to participate or facilitate constellations yourself.
For those who have taken Holographic NLP, you understand how we can work with the invisible, non-physical, non-local information that gives rise to our physical experience.
Holographic Constellations brings those two worlds together and opens up exciting new territory.
