Holding the field while slowing down and deep listening
What it is
This training is for people who work with people.
For therapists, facilitators, teachers, space holders, and practitioners who feel the responsibility of holding others, and who know that how we hold matters as much as what we do. It is for those who sense that true healing does not come from fixing, performing, or pushing toward outcomes, but from presence, attunement, safety, and trust in the field. This training exists because I believe that facilitators and therapists can truly make a difference in the world, when they are embodied, humble, trauma-informed, and connected to something bigger than themselves. And it exists because I personally need (and want to offer) spaces where people feel fully safe, deeply respected, and genuinely held.
Holding the Field is a professional training in family constellations and trauma-informed systemic
work, rooted in:
embodiment and nervous system regulation
trust in the intelligence of the field
respect for the human experience and its history
deep listening - beyond the mind
slowness, consent, and ethical responsibility
This is not a performance-based or goal-oriented approach. It is an invitation to step out of the ego, soften control, and allow systemic movements to unfold safely, with clarity, grounding, and care.
This training is for:
therapists and counselors
facilitators and space holders
bodyworkers and somatic practitioners
coaches working relationally
teachers and educators (school, high school, or higher education)
practitioners who already work, or are preparing to work, with people
You don’t need to “know everything”. You do need to be doing your own work, willing to go slow, and able to take responsibility for yourself within a group process.
What you can expect
This is a two-module training of 4 days each (8 days total).
Module 2 - Trauma-Informed Systemic Work
Module 2 deepens into nervous system regulation and trauma awareness within systemic and constellation work.
We will explore:
trauma through a nervous system lens
safety, titration, and pacing in constellations
working with dissociation and overwhelm
recognizing trauma responses in the field
holding constellations ethically with trauma present
staying grounded, slow, and resourced as a facilitator
This module is about how to hold, not how to push.
About staying present without rescuing, fixing, or abandoning.
Daily rhythm
Each day follows a simple, embodied structure:
morning theory and orientation
extensive experiential work and constellations
time to slow down, observe, and integrate
space for questions and reflection
evening ritual, meditation, or embodied integration practice
The pace is intentionally slow and spacious, allowing learning to settle in the body.
What you will gain
After completing this training, participants typically report:
greater capacity to create safe and grounded containers
increased trust in themselves and in the field
deeper understanding of systemic dynamics and entanglements
ability to recognize trauma responses somatically
more confidence in holding constellations with sensitivity and care
less pressure to perform, more presence
This training does not aim to make you “better”.It supports you in becoming more available, attuned, and trustworthy in your work.
Application & selection
Participation is through application only. This is not about exclusion, it is about alignment, safety and the integrity of the group field.
In some cases, a short personal conversation may be requested before confirmation.
