Training Facilitating Business Constellations
Learn How To Use This Powerful Modality
Master This Magical Management Craft in the Training Facilitating Business Constellations
Are you a (business) coach, consultant or (HR) manager who:
- wants to learn how to use business constellations
- wants to learn a methodology that reveals the root cause of complex problems
- is ready for the next step in his or her professional development
- wants to learn practical forms of constellations that you can use right away?
- wants to develop his or her pure intuition?
I needed a training that was both suited to the corporate environment where I operate (i.e. not esoteric) and still human and soulful; and that’s just what Martijn’s training has been for me. Just the right amount of explanation and guidance, plenty of opportunity to practice and also from time to time memorable experiences that demonstrate his unique facilitation skills and the power of constellations. Very inspiring!
This training teaches you how to get projects, organizations, teams and lives back on track. It will help you to achieve more. Why is one project going smoothly and yet another project feels stuck and troublesome for some strange reason. Why do organizations keep running into the same problems over and over again. Martijn shows you the reasons behind this and let you experience and transform them. He knows how to create an atmosphere in which you will be able to use intuition, humor and lightness to shine a light on the subconscious processes
Develop your intuition and facilitating skills
Why Should You Use Business Constellations?
Business constellations are a powerful way of finding the root cause of complex and repeating problems in individuals, teams, and organizations. It is a 4D mapping technique in which you use the collective intelligence available in every organization. By using representatives for the different stakeholders, influencers, functions, inner parts, or for example different strategy options, you can access information that is normally hidden and not available. By placing these representative in a room, you will be able to see the dynamics and hidden connections that are influencing the issue.
Because it is an embodied experience for everyone participating, a business constellation creates a deep understanding and knowledge of what is needed to change. It also frees up potential and energy to take the steps that are needed.

During the days, you'll learn in three ways:
Theory
I will explain the systemic theory and how it applies to businesses and other theories that apply.
Practising
You will practice in small groups and sometimes in the large group. You will get feedback from me.
Watching demos
I will facilitate a number of business constellations and explain what I do.
Enjoy these extras that help you learn the craft even better
Extra bonuses for this training!
During one of the days we will invite a manager who will bring in a real case. This way you get to experience how it is to work with a manager from a larger company.
You will get access to the recording of the workshop Discover the Power of Business Constellations. Here you can learn more about business constellations and you see me facilitate a constellation.
I really got much more than I expected. It was not only about learning basic principles, dynamics, and orders at organizations and a very good development method. What I experienced during the 5 days is spreading into my whole life, to all life areas. By the practices we did a new order was established in my heart and got integrated in me. I feel much more stability and order inside and I truly believe this can be a good starting point for setting up a new order, and new ways in organizations. Thank you, Martijn!

Why Should I Join THIS Training?
There are a few aspects in which this training is different from other business constellation trainings:
Practicing
I believe that the best way to master this craft is by doing it. That is why I have chosen to give live Zoom meetings in which you will start practicing from day one!
Intuitive Approach
Part of the training is exploring your intuition and learning how to use it. This way you will develop your own style and not learn a fixed way of facilitating.
Free Workshop Recording
You get the online workshop “Discover the Power of Business Constellations” for free (or the recording).
Real Life Cases
Because the participants are mostly self employed consultants and coaches, the cases usually are related to these small businesses and about personal issues. That is why I always try to find at least one manager from a larger companies to join for half a day. We will work with his or her cases, which gives you the opportunity to experience or even facilitate a constellation for a larger company.
Short And Powerful
Because I trust you to have done some personal development, the training will mainly focus on facilitating constellations and just a little bit on personal development. This will make it intense and you will learn a lot in a short time.
Global Attendance Service
My wish is for as many people as possible to be able to learn this wonderful craft. Therefore I have developed a Global Attendance Service, meaning that you should be able to join, no matter the GDP of your country or your personal financial situation. Contact me for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between family and business constellations?
Family constellations are focused on personal issues and look into your family system. Business or organizational constellations are focused on business questions and look into work-related systems.
For family constellations, the elements we work with are mostly father, mother, and siblings. For business constellations, we work with elements like the company, the potential client, different products or services, department X, function Y, marketing strategy 1, the purpose of the company, the client of the client, the history of the company, etc.
- What kind of background do I need?
The training is open to everyone. There are no mental skills needed since you will learn by doing and by using your intuition. We assume that you have done some personal development work and that you are familiar with coaching or consulting. The focus of the training will be on learning the art of facilitating and a little bit on personal development.
- Do we only practice business constellations?
The focus of the training is on using constellations in a business environment. Depending on the wishes of the participants we will focus more on business constellations, career constellations, marketing constellations, self-awareness constellations or family constellations.
Part of the training is also freeing yourself from old patterns and that is why we will also use family constellations.
From my experience, I can say that there is no longer a strict line between business constellations and family constellations. There are all kinds of intermediate forms of constellations. We will work with what emerges from the group.
- What is Martijn like as a trainer?
You can check the page with background information about myself. The following information gives you more background about me as a trainer:
In 2008, I was trained by a student at the Bert Hellinger Institute in the Netherlands. Since then, I have been using business constellations almost on a daily basis and in 2013, I started to train the first group of facilitators.
My style is an intuitive one. I do not work with certain steps and protocols. I rather let the field show the way. This is also the new way Bert Hellinger approached constellations at the end of his life. I am very creative in using constellations. There is not a single format or approach I use all the time. As a trainer, I combine energy, humor and lightness with tranquillity, depth and authenticity. You will be encouraged to discover your own style. There is no one good way.
Participants like the lightness and humor in the training and at the same time the depth and major transformations that they go through. What I hear from them is that I practice what I preach and allow everything to be. This creates a safe environment to learn and experiment.
- Can I learn how to facilitate in just 4 or 5 days?
- Do you follow Hellinger’s methodology?
Yes, the method I use is basically Bert Hellinger’s methodology. There are no rules for facilitating constellations. This has led to many different schools and movements within the constellation work. I have been trained by people from the Bert Hellinger approach and various others. I have developed my own style and that is what I encourage you to do too.
- How can I decide if this is the right training for me?
Well, you will not be surprised if I tell you to use your intuition. Our rational mind has difficulties weighing all the different factors and deciding what is good for you now. Your intuition will help you.
That’s why I have put an exercise on my website in which you use your intuition to decide. It even uses a constellation work form! You can use it to find out if this is the right training for you at this moment. I strongly recommend you to do this exercise and let me know what it has told you.
You can also ask for a Zoom call with me, so I can answer your questions. Just contact me and we will arrange the call.
Finally, you can join a webinar in which I share more information about business constellations, let you experience a constellation, and tell you more about the training. Have a look at my calendar for the next possibilities.
- Would I be able to facilitate business constellations right away?
Yes, you will. Depending on how well you pick it up you will be able to facilitate simple constellations maybe first as a tryout or you will be able to facilitate constellations as a paid facilitator. I have seen students do both.
During the training, you will already practise a lot. After the training, I will encourage you to practice more and after 8 weeks there will be a webinar in which you can ask all the questions you have about facilitation.
- Do I need a supervisor to facilitate right from the beginning?
No, you don’t. If you feel more comfortable with a supervisor, you can find one, but it is not obligatory.
I really recommend that you listen to your intuition to find your next steps in facilitating constellations. This is different for everyone.
During the training, we can also focus on selling constellations and building the confidence to do it by yourself.
- What are the training times?
The general training times are from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, but depending on the location and the wishes of the participants we can change this.
