Book excerpt: As the concept of "global family" grows in this 21st century, never has it been so important to understand the core workings-the deeper structures-of families, nations, and organizations. Since the early nineties, the phenomenological Systemic Constellation Work, based on insights and findings of Bert Hellinger has spread across the globe to bring us this intimate view into these deeper structures. German Body and Family therapist, Heinz Stark is one of the world's few master facilitators and teachers of Systemic Constellation Work. You will find in this collection a valuable treasure chest of practical experiences that are well grounded in the philosophical thinking of phenomenology, systems theory, shamanism, and spiritual reflections.
