Dear Colleagues
I have been training constellation facilitators in South Africa since 2005 and
I am fully in support of having an association and a code of ethics. As
first-generation South African constellations colleagues, we founded the
Systems Constellations Association of South Africa which requires a certain
amount of training and signing the co-created code of ethics to join. One of
the requirements to stay a member is to attend ongoing professional development
and inter-vision. In my experience, facilitators need to stay in contact with
their colleagues and find ongoing support from their knowledge lineage. We are
accountable to each other as colleagues and also to the reputation of this work
as a community. No-one can stand above this accountability, and It concerns me
when facilitators do not take responsibility for their actions or do not feel
accountable to their colleagues. The field does not reveal all because it is
open to many interpretations. Healthy boundaries are lacking in many cases
where constellations have gone wrong. Reflecting on our work and on those of
our teachers is an important aspect of learning and growth. There may be many
opinions on this work in Russia that Sophie and Bert did, but for me one of the
main features is that humility is lacking and ,to me, that is a key aspect of
the stance of the constellation facilitator.
