About systemic constellations
Systemic constellations is a facilitated and collective approach to listen deeply to the wisdom of a system. It serves as a powerful tool for navigating complexity by helping individuals and teams get to the root of an issue, including the mindsets, bias and assumptions underlying actions and behavior.
Systemic constellations engage the felt senses or somatic responses to surface patterns of interaction and interdependent relationships within a particular system, such as an organization, a project or an issue. Through this process, participants jointly create a dynamic model or map of a system to visualize the patterns and widen the shared understanding of a given situation, leading to awareness-based and inclusive actions and decisions.
How it works
Each systemic constellation includes three sessions at a minimum.
Discovery and designing the guiding question (1-1.5 hours): A 1:1 call with the Collective Transition’s team to understand the issue, hone the focus of the systemic constellation and clarify open questions.
Systemic constellation practice (2 - 2.5 hours): Facilitated practice with a selected group or practice space community.
Reflection and integration (1-1.5 hours): Reflect on highlights, overall patterns and learning. Generate any meaningful next steps.

Pilot study and case example
Systems Sensing and Systemic Constellation for Organizational Transformation
Building Collective Capacity for Navigating Complexity
This paper examines how a systems sensing—or felt-sense—approach and orientation to inquiry and systemic constellations practice might help social change organizations cultivate capacities to better navigate complexity, both in their outer-facing work and internal dynamics as teams and as individuals. We present a pilot study of systemic constellation practice, sharing the experience of participants during and after the practice, as well as our own reflexive process.
Leadership requires us to refine our HOW we do WHAT we do.
