A year-long advanced training for practitioners ready to deepen their systemic and embodied practice in service of societal transformation.
Advanced Training I builds on the Foundation Training and is designed for individuals who have completed the Foundation or bring equivalent experience and prior learning. It is for leaders, practitioners, community builders, connectors, activists, and creatives who feel called to deepen their practice and expand their capacity to work skillfully with social challenges, complex dynamics, and systemic issues.
Across four immersive in-person modules, we deepen and integrate the practices introduced in the Foundation Training and extend them through regenerative, embodied, and systemic change approaches. The course supports participants in navigating complexity with greater sensitivity to context, relationship, and the subtle dynamics that shape collective processes.
Advanced Training I is particularly focused on strengthening the capacities needed to design and facilitate meaningful interventions and processes. Through an integrative approach and our wider ways of knowing, participants cultivate confidence, precision, and nuanced systemic awareness—supporting more coherent decisions, actions, and collaborations.
This is a space to refine your practice, strengthen perception, and bring the work into grounded, embodied application within your own field of action.
Learning objectives
Through experiential learning and reflective practice, participants will:
Deepen and expand perception and sensing capacities.
Apply systemic constellation and systems sensing methods across diverse contexts, building confidence in both facilitation and practical application.
Strengthen fluency in regenerative and embodied systems change, integrating diverse perspectives, criteria, and approaches with clarity.
Refine the ability to relate to land and place, listening to the inherent wisdom of living systems as an intentional guide for practice.
Cultivate grounded presence, trauma-sensitive awareness, and mindfulness as foundations for engaging complex and charged situations with stability and coherence.
Hone subtle capacities—inner and relational “muscles”—to navigate multilayered challenges with clarity, compassion, and courage.
Course content – practice, applied & theoretical
The course explores and integrates:
Advanced systemic constellation work for societal change and systems sensing.
Building coherence across diverse stakeholders and rights-holders.
Working with land, place, and place-based knowledge.
Deepening into regenerative and embodied systems change, wider ways of knowing and earth-based wisdom traditions
Working with kincentric practices, and relating to the natural and more-than-human worlds.
The art of scaling deep, scaling wide, and scaling up in transformational work.
Structure and dates
The advanced training unfolds over four modules of four days each, allowing time for integration between sessions. Between each module, we will have an online group call to reflect and advance the work.
We will form small practice-groups for peer-learning between the in-person modules. There is also the option for one-on-one sessions to support your individual learning journey.
Module Dates:
17—20th September 2026
4—7th February 2027
27—30th May 2027
16—19th September 2027
Times:
The course starts at 10am on the arrival day (Thursday) and ends at 4pm on the final day (Sunday) for each module.
You’re invited to arrive at 9am on the Thursday, or to arrive the night before (please be aware that if you arrive the night before there will not be food available and there are no restaurants in the area so you’re invited to come nourished/bring food).
Who its for
This course is open for leaders, activists, creatives and changemakers who are working at the forefront of societal transformation. It is especially relevant for those working in multistakeholder, cross-sector or cross-cultural contexts, where relational depth, process-sensitivity and systemic awareness are essential.
Our wider ways of knowing offer powerful tools for navigating the subtleties of complexity. Activating and applying these capacities are critical for the times we live in. Through the integration of systemic constellations, systems sensing, systems thinking, and regenerative, context-sensitive approaches, participants learn to move through intense dynamics with greater clarity, alignment, and ease, supporting interventions that strengthen relationships, health, and care across systems.
Participants must have completed the Foundation Training or bring equivalent experience in embodied systems change, systemic constellation or systems sensing practices.

Course lead
Luea Ritter is a transformative process designer, systemic coach and action researcher. Through cross-sector and international engagements in a diverse medley of fields, she developed a high sensitivity for context-based cultural and social dynamics.
Her approach weaves together leadership and organizational development, awareness-based practices, healing arts and earth-based wisdom traditions to foster multi-sector collaboration towards socio-ecological transformation.
Luea is the co-founder of Collective Transitions, dedicated to building shared capacities for fostering and maintaining transformational shifts. She is a vital driver of the World Ethic Forum, an international organization committed to fostering a culture of care and kinship. There, she co-stewards the Firekeeper Circle process, its action research and the long-term intention. As co-founder and chair, she also serves the Nile Journeys, a platform for transboundary dialogue and regenerative collaboration in the Nile Basin. She works with a wide range of clients, especially societal change and multi-stakeholder initiatives such as the Youth Negotiator Academy, World Future Council or the Global Ecovillage Network.
Inspired by her trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural journey, and respect for the (subtle) wisdom of systems, Luea is dedicated to cultivating the conditions for embracing our wider ways of knowing as key ingredients for building and maintaining coherence in social fields, which is also the focus of her PhD.
