Introduction
The Community of Practice and Experimentation (COPE) is a practice group for people with a strong interest in using Bert Hellinger's constellations work in organisations. If you want to develop your organisational constellation expertise within a community of skilled practitioners, COPE is the group for you. With regular meetings and a network of support, you have a ready-made practical way to increase your learning and grow your professional skills. |
 |
COPE originated from students of the organisational constellations training provided by Judith Hemming and the Nowhere Foundation. COPE is now an independent self-organising group.
 |
COPE focuses on organisational constellations with some cross over into personal and family issues as that reflects the nature of some material that arises with organisational constellations work. |
Memberships offers the chance to:
• Attend six COPE meetings each year
• Develop your constellations expertise
• Continue to practice and learn constellations skills
• Get peer supervision on your organisational consultancy relationships
• Benefit from support and encouragement from other members
• Share success stories
• Consult about challenging situations in a confidential environment
As you build your skills, COPE with support, refresh and invigorate you at every stage of development.
COPE members meet once every two months, with meetings held alternately in London and Bath. Each meeting features fresh discussion and work on aspects of organisational constellations practice. In addition, there is plenty of time to consider projects, questions and issues raised by members on the day. Meetings run from 10.30 am to 5.15 pm to allow for travel on the day. |
 |
The coordinating and facilitating role associated
with each meeting rotates within the members. Commitment is gained
for the next meeting before members go their separate ways.
The subscription for 2005 – 2006, starting July 2005, is £130.00. COPE has a volunteer Treasurer, who has responsibility for collecting the money and paying for venues and website maintenance. This arrangement is reviewed on an annual basis at the same time as the membership subscription. |
 |
The prime criterion for membership is that the person has a strong interest in the application of the constellations approach in organisations. Other selection criteria include a mixture of the following:
- Some experience of organisational consultancy or organisational management, be it in the private or public sector
- Some training in or experience of constellations work be it organisational, personal or family emphasis
- A willingness and ability to pay £130.00 for six meetings a year
- A willingness and ability to contribute to the running of COPE (eg organise and/or facilitate a meeting)
 |
Anyone interested in joining COPE needs either to be sponsored by one of the existing members or for his/her application to be put forward to the group. Applications will be considered by the members present at that meeting. They have the authority to decide whether such an application is accepted. |
