Welcome to African Constellations
Our Offering
African Constellation’s aim is to build a local community of highly trained family systemic constellations facilitators in
South Africa that represent the diversity of our country.
We also provide continued learning and mentoring to ensure that graduates can continue to grow the work in their field of practice and in under-resourced areas.
Why African Constellations?
We are committed to acknowledging and honouring the first people of the African continent, as well as the piece of the knowledge lineage of constellation work that belongs to South Africa through its founder, Bert Hellinger, living here for 16 years.
- A Return to Source.
- An African Encounter.
- A Learning Experience.

Founder of African Constellations
Tanja Meyburgh
Tanja Meyburgh, psychologist, is a renowned Family and Systems Constellations trainer and supervisor for 21 years and is a regular contributor to the international conferences and publications in this field. She is known for her inclusion of land, embodiment, collective work, and inclusion of marginalised voices in her systemic work. Tanja provides a creative and experiential learning space that brings a sense of soul and spirit in a psychologically grounded way. Her interest in self-growth, personal & collective ritual and embodiment supports her to hold a broad and deep container for clients’ personal and professional process.
As founder and director of African Constellations, Tanja has taken 22 groups through a full facilitator training and is the primary pioneer of constellations work in South Africa since 2003. She has assisted organisations in South Africa involved with addiction, adoption, trauma, political violence, community development and diversity.
More recently Tanja has co-founded Ancestral Connections integrating dance and constellations, and the REAL Academy, an online resource for Embodied and Ancestral Learning. Tanja has also presented at the international intensives in Germany, South Africa and Australasia, and accepted invitations to teach at conferences and workshops in Germany, Austria, Belgium, United Kingdom, Kuwait, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain, Bali and Portugal. She was the founding member and Chairperson of the Systems Constellations Association of South Africa, and now serves them and the International Systemic Constellations Association (ISCA) in their elder circles.
Tanja’s MA (Psych) in Narrative Therapy has had a big impact on how she views power relations and work with marginalised voices and communities. She also has training and experience in wilderness therapy, art therapy, expressive movement and Southern African lineage wisdom. Tanja lives in Cape Town with her two children.
