More about María Escribano
Through Brigitte Champetier de Ribes’ guidance and expertise, I have been in contact with the developments of Bert Hellinger’s practice and insights up to his passing away in September 2019, keeping up to date with his written and audiovisual work, as well a Champetier’s work and continued development in tune with the Thinking Field or Spirit Mind, as Bert Hellinger used to refer to it. It is thanks to Brigitte’s continued evolution that I have also been able to keep up to date with other relevant work such as that of Rupert Sheldrake (morphic fields), Dr Hamer (New German Medicine) or Dr. Petr Gariaev (DNA Hologram) among others.
Before I began to facilitate family constellations for others, I started constellating my own issues alone in Ireland in March 2012, with Brigitte Champetier’s generous guidance. This allowed me to increase my perception skills and understanding of the Love Forces (or Orders of Love as Hellinger referred to them) and body signals, behaviours and dynamics through which the movement of the Spirit manifests itself in the energy field within which the sessions unfold. I have been facilitating family constellation workshops in the service of others following Hellinger’s and Brigitte’s new method monthly since June 2013, as well as facilitating individual constellations, at the Tipperary Community Centre and the Family Resource Centre of Hospital, Co. Limerick, until June 2014. After that I facilitated workshops assisted with cats at La Gatoteca, in Madrid, and since January 2016 I have been facilitating workshops and individual constellations in Getxo and Bilbao, in the Basque Country (Spanish side), where I have also facilitated constellations assisted with dogs (in Gallarta, Bizkay), facilitating individual distance constellations as well (face to face, by phone and online).
I have also been a secretary for English language and translator of Spanish into English for the Family Constellations Institute Brigitte Champetier de Ribes (located in Madrid, Spain), and have translated several texts and the book Beginning to Constellate by Brigitte Champetier de Ribes in March 2014. I have also occasionally attended workshops with other constellators such as Maria Jose Ochs, Milagros Estanislao Quintanilla, Joan Garriga, Alejandro Laorden, Jose Antonio Galloso o Inma Trancón in Madrid, Ana María Perez Senande y Begoña en Galdakao, Bizkay (in Spain), Aitziber Ayesta (online), and Dan Booth Cohen and Emily Volden in Ireland, or Joël Weser (Hellinger LebenSchule, Germany), as well as attending training seminars with Bert and Sophie Hellinger (Munich and Bad Reichenhall, Germany, February-April 2014 & March-May 2014, and Avila, Spain, in 2015).
