The Book
In response to the interest in ‘Systemic Coaching and Constellations’ it was updated and published in an expanded 3rd edition in 2020. This 3rd and final edition offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to the stance, principles and practices of systemic coaching and constellations.
It offers a rich resource for coaches that includes exercises and many examples of how this methodology can be applied with individuals, groups and teams. Participants of the workshops and trainings – whether new to this methodology or already experienced – are invited to read at least the first three chapters to see if there is a personal resonance with the approach. Participants of the Fundamentals Parts II & III are required to read the rest of the book alongside the embodied training so as to deepen insight and build capacity for application.
Author John Whittington.

Following this sequence of trainings and workshops on John’s first visit to Australia he facilitated a session on the hidden dynamics in family relationships – ‘SIBLINGS: From Protection to Connection‘ – at The Australian ‘Constellations Intensive’. See more about that here.
The origins of our presence in Australia began with an invitation from Ingrid and her working partnership with Vivi.
With thanks to you both.
