The Legend

The African Constellations training is based on the early work of Bert Hellinger, developments brought by his first students, as well as experience and knowledge gained from Southern Africa and its people.

African Constellations is committed to acknowledging and honoring the first people of the African continent, as well as the African sources of knowledge that form the roots of Family Constellation theory and practice.

As well as highly qualified local trainers, our trainers include world-renown international faculty: Dr Ursula Franke-Bryson, Tom Bryson, Stephan Hausner, Guni Baxa and Francesca Mason-Boring.

The African Constellations Legend: There is a knowledge, locked deep inside our beings, which has the power to set us free from that which troubles us, and which can enable us to soar to the most spectacular heights.  This knowledge is not the exclusive preserve of a select few; it is accessible to each and every one of us who choose to seek it.  Our cells carry its memory and its wisdom courses through our veins. It is ingrained in our behaviour and it informs our loves and our fears.  African sages have always acknowledged the deep wisdom of the ancestors, recognising the force of change it can bring.  They know that no person is an island unto themselves, that we all belong to a family and every family in turn is part of the tribe just as the tribes make up a nation.  In recognising this interconnectedness with one another and those who lived before us, we make available to ourselves the wealth of their collective experience.  African Constellations is committed to awakening and sharing this knowledge through our facilitator training and  journal.

Training is currently available in Cape Town, Gauteng, Durban and from 2013 in Nairobi, Kenya.  We are also open to offering training in other African countries on request.

Creator of African Constellations:

Tanja Meyburgh has been involved in training Family Constellations facilitators in South Africa since 2004 as co-founder and director of  Family Constellations Africa which discontinued training in 2008.  In 2010 Tanja created African Constellations to continue a culture of knowledge sharing and learning that embraces our inherent wisdom and collective experience.
