TRAINING PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY

The Stark Institute training in phenomenological-systemic work based on the teachings, insights and discoveries of Bert Hellinger has been designed for high quality additional professional training as well as for continuing education purposes.

Invited are professionals from all Medical, Psychological and Healing Arts fields as well as Business and Organizational Consulting or related vocations interested in using Systemic Constellation Work to heighten the quality of their present work.

The Orders of Life Association training is an in-depth training program intended as a seal of excellence and professional quality.

The training takes place under the personal leadership, supervision and responsibility of Heinz Stark together with optional qualified guest teachers. Heinz Stark will share his experiences gained in his more than 20 years of practical application of Bert Hellinger's wisdom, insights and discoveries.

Time after time, the work itself gives evidence of its immense healing power. Its rapid growth nationally as well as internationally exceeds all expectations, generating never-ending new understandings and findings. Heinz Stark is honored to be a significant contributor to various aspects of the deepening effects of this important work, which he will share as part of his training program.

The training is oriented towards individual needs, questions and requirements pertaining to the trainees' concrete life and work experiences so that the phenomenological approach can be readily implemented in one's present professional and life situations.

What are the Goals and the Content of the Training ?

The content of the training consists first of all of all the questions and problems, which the trainees have, and sometimes even of the forces that operate behind movement and stillness, often without being noticed. In other words, in addition to the knowledge and the complex tools of family and organizational constellations, the training is focused on promoting the development of a competent, effective, and creative facilitator of constellations.

The Goals of the training

The highest goal of the training is to make the phenomenological systemic work understandable and to provide training for its use, as well as to integrate it into the profession that is practiced or that is envisaged. In this training, much value is placed on understanding and on the creative adaptation of the authentic version of the work, as it was developed by Bert Hellinger.

The folloving aspects are thereby adressed:

  • Exploring the three community-creating forces of a system (bonding, balance, order) and the three basic forces of a system that create independence (solution, direction, differentiation).
  • Promoting the ability to deal productively with the life-determining and fateful operational structures of a family system.
  • Learning and introducing all positively impacting aspects of the orders of love (1. by dealing with, re-ordering, and dissolving opposing systemic entanglements and the resulting actions, 2. through a follow-through of movements that have been interrupted)
  • Developing the ability to perceive clues about the systemic dynamics in statements and behavior on the part of the client.
  • Developing the competence to seek out and impact in a healing way the hidden love in the depths of suffering, misery, illness and failure.
  • Discovering and using the constellation process as a tool for phenomenological systemic therapy and counseling work, such as:
    1. training phenomenological perception and action from the "empty center"and paradoxical and systemic thinking,
    2. exploring the variations of individual and systemic resistance (including one's own possible induction)
    3. promoting or developing the ability to adequately deal with and establish a rapport with clients in order to work to develop systemic solutions,
    4. learning of the possibility to carry out short, directive (affirmative) interventions and to control them,
    5. exploring behavior that creates entanglement (such as succession, copying, systemic identification and representation, as well as childish attempts to rescue or improve),
    6. getting to know the impact of and how to use reframing, provocation, confrontation, support, accompaniment, and support,
    7. practicing and successfully using the therapeutic attitude that is important for this systemic work (esteem and respect for the members of the system that are not present, working without any moral value judgemnts, strict solution orientation, use of systmically relevant facts, loyalty to the integrity of the entire system),
    8. finding systemically important contents in stories and dreams and how to deal with them effectively,
    9. understanding and interpreting constellation images,
    10. understanding and taking into consideration the position of the facilitator or therapist in the system,
    11. acquainting oneself with the classical applications of systemic constellation work, their specific foundations, and their special methods of processing (see list of standard issues in the chapter "How is the training organized ?"),
    12. practicing fourfold attention during the constellation process (phenomena in the constellation, the client's behavior, and awareness of the events in one's own person and reactions of the surrounding group),
    13. receiving, controlling and using solution rituals and "power statements",
    14. special considerations in constellation work with organisations
    15. use of phenomenological systemic work with individual clients, small groups and in counselling situations,
  • Acquiring important background knowledge (such as ethical attitudes in the phenomenological systemic work, the emprirical experiences to date, experiments, hypotheses, the basics of phenomenological philosophy, the relationship to other systemic approaches, such as constructivism, and the opportunities and problems that arise when working in combination with other therapeutic methods or "therapeutic schools").
  • Supporting, developing and strengthening the work virtues and the personality characteristics that are important for the process (see the article "Family Constellations is an Art", which is appended to the training literature).

It is quite clear that the list of the goals and contents of the Stark Instiute training can awaken the impression that this ambitious program requires a training program that takes several years. On the one hand this is a correct impression and on the other hand it is not. It is my experience that an orientation of the contents and methods toward clear goals can lay the foundation. It is possible to build on this foundation during the years of practice that follow.
