This gathering is for Family and Systemic Constellation facilitators who would love to connect with fellow practitioners, deepen their practice, exchange experiences and be part of a supportive community. Whether you’re newly trained or have been facilitating for years, you’re warmly welcome.

No. The Facilitator Gathering is designed as a whole-weekend experience, from Friday to Sunday. Our intention is to create a continuous space for connection, shared learning and community building, so single-day attendance is not available.

Absolutely! Choose the Non-Residential Pass and enjoy the complete gathering while sleeping in your own bed or arranging accommodation nearby. The Non-Residential Pass is intended to include shared vegetarian community meals and access to the venue facilities available to gathering participants, including the saltwater lap pool.

Both options are intended to provide access to the entire weekend, including evening activities. Onsite Accommodation includes a room at Byron Yoga Centre, shared community meals and venue access. The Non-Residential Pass includes shared community meals and venue access, while you arrange your own place to sleep. The only difference is where you sleep!

No. There are two separate bookings. Your Event Ticket is booked through Melanie Enders and covers the gathering program. Your Onsite Accommodation or Non-Residential Pass is booked and paid for directly through Byron Yoga Centre and covers accommodation (if applicable), shared vegetarian community meals and venue access. Both bookings are required to attend.

Yes! There will be two dedicated practice rooms and opportunities to both facilitate and participate in Family Constellations with fellow practitioners. However, facilitating opportunities will be decided through a community-led process rather than allocated by me as the organiser. One possibility is to have a bowl where everyone interested in facilitating can add their name, with names then drawn at random. The exact process will be discussed and decided collectively during the gathering, allowing the community to shape how we share these opportunities. While everyone is welcome to express their interest in facilitating, a facilitating opportunity cannot be guaranteed. This reflects the heart of the gathering: shared responsibility, mutual respect and creating a space where we all have a voice.

As part of my contribution to the gathering, I’ll make myself available for two four-hour blocks of Family Constellation practice, offering feedback, reflection and support in a group supervision-style setting. This is my personal offering to our facilitator community—an opportunity to share my experience, support emerging and experienced facilitators, and create space for us to explore and learn together. This is not a formal professional development training or accredited supervision program. The intention is a supportive, collaborative environment where we can practise, reflect, ask questions and learn from one another as fellow facilitators.

Not at all. Newly trained facilitators are just as welcome as experienced practitioners. The gathering is about learning from one another, building confidence, sharing experiences and strengthening our community.

Absolutely! In fact, this is one of the things I’m most excited about. I’m genuinely curious about the different passions, experiences and skills within our facilitator community, and I’d love to create opportunities for us to learn from one another. If you’d like to offer a workshop, all you’ll need is a workshop title and a short description of what you’d love to share. Closer to the gathering, I’ll invite interested participants to submit their ideas. I’ll then share the proposed workshops with registered participants and invite everyone to vote for the workshops they’d most love to attend. The workshops receiving the strongest community interest will be included in the weekend program, depending on time and space available. Not every proposal may fit, but every offering is warmly welcomed and appreciated.

Alongside constellation practice with supervision-style feedback, we’ll enjoy shared vegetarian community meals, Friday and Saturday evening sauna sessions and fire circles, time to relax by the large saltwater lap pool, and a Saturday night open dance floor. There will also be community-led workshops, peer exchange and time simply to enjoy being together.

We’re planning to offer optional treatments, such as massage, during the gathering. These will be available at an additional cost and subject to practitioner availability. More information will be shared closer to the event.

No formal ACA or PACFA CPD points are offered as part of this gathering. This is a community-based event focused on connection, shared learning, constellation practice and peer support—not a formal professional development or accredited supervision program

Not in the traditional sense. While there will be opportunities for learning, feedback and constellation practice, the heart of this gathering is community. It’s a space where we come together as fellow facilitators—to share what we’ve learned, explore what we’re passionate about, support one another and strengthen connections that continue beyond the weekend.
