A warm welcome!
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to a unique and transformative experience, designed specifically for you, a trained Family Constellations facilitator.
Hosted by ANZCI at the beautiful Ōrongomai Marae, this retreat offers a deep dive into the knowing field. This is an invitation to refine your facilitation skills, expand your understanding, and connect with like-hearted peers from across Aotearoa and the world.
A Space to Expand Your Knowing
Whether you’re just beginning to find your voice as a facilitator or have years of experience behind you, this retreat invites you to meet the next layer of your growth — personally, professionally, and spiritually.
This gathering is for facilitators who have already begun their journey and are now ready to take it further.
This isn’t just another workshop — it’s a living, breathing container for learning, reflection, and community.

What to Expect from the Retreat
This is a space for collective exploration — where we support one another in refining our gifts and holding each other with care.
A safe and grounded environment for learning and growth
Time with Margarete, who will share her experience and wisdom
Opportunities to deepen your practice, receive feedback, and reflect
Heartfelt connections with fellow supportive facilitators
A focus on emotional, spiritual, and tangible outcomes — supporting you in both your outer workspaces and inner world.
The venue
Ōrongomai holds us in its embrace — a place of manaakitanga, wairua, and belonging. It is more than a venue; it is a part of the experience. Together, we’ll co-create a space where learning feels soulful, embodied, and alive.
Why This Moment Matters
We stand at a threshold in the evolution of humanity — one that calls for compassionate leadership, open-heartedness, and vision. This is more than a training, it’s a wānanga, a gathering of wisdom, and a rekindling of purpose.
This retreat is a portal into:
The collective wisdom of the knowing field
Harmonising our inner and outer worlds in order to see deeper systemically
Contributing to the evolving field of Family Constellations in the South Pacific and beyond
Together, we’ll weave a tapestry of new insights, grounded presence, and deeper belonging — for ourselves, our systems, and those we serve.
