with Elitsa Velikova & Praful-Carlo Saracino
For Practitioners with Previous Training in Family and Systemic Constellation
26–31 May 2026 | Italy, Tuscany
This six-day immersive training in the heart of Italy is exclusively for those who have already completed a foundational training in Family and Systemic Constellation work. It is designed for experienced practitioners ready to deepen their understanding, refine their facilitation, and engage in profound personal transformation—within a supervised, high-level learning container.
Guided by Elitsa Velikova and Praful-Carlo Saracino, this advanced module explores the healing movement that emerges from the broader systemic forces of trauma, illness, transgenerational transmission, and collective dynamics, beyond personal biography and inheritance - towards freedom and choice.
It blends experiential constellation work, theoretical foundations, and deep personal inquiry to support both inner growth and professional development.
