LIFE HAS NO REVERSE GEAR
The Evolution of Consciousness and the Life Integration Process
International Summer Academy (ISA) 2nd – 8th of June 2026 in Nettersheim
Life does not look backwards. This simple truth applies not only to biological life but also to the life of consciousness, spirit, and soul. Life has its own will and direction, and we exist as an expression of life, not its master. We are the children of life— a natural and spiritual movement that moves in its own direction.
The psychology and methods developed at the Nelles Institute recognize this ever-unfolding movement of life itself. Life decides, not us. The Life Integration Process’s constellation paradigm focuses on this self-expression in our own life. As our biological life moves from unity with our mother in the womb, through childhood in the realm of our family, the awakening of sexuality in youth, into adulthood, and finally into the serenity of old age and the disappearance in death, our consciousness too can unfold itself in each stage according to the challenges of life itself. In the Life Integration Process, we follow this natural and spiritual movement.
Psychological integration is not something we do; it happens by itself. The deeper secret of our psychological approach is not the work of change, which is heavily promoted in our times. Integration means accepting everything as it is— yourself as well as others — and building your life and identity on that foundation.
At the International Summer Academy (ISA), we welcome participants from around the world. The Academy will be conducted in English and will be a place where people come together to share experiences, transcending cultural and national borders. Life itself is not interested in borders.
During ISA week, we will share the latest ideas, methods and the art of constellation work developed by the leaders of the Nelles Institutes around the world. This will include:
· The Model of Evolution of Consciousness and Life Integration Process (Wilfried Nelles)
· The Couple Life Integration Process (CLIP) and Symptom Contemplation (SC) (Malte Nelles)
· The Life Integration Process for Organisation and Society (Coen Aalders)
· Constellation work as a path towards a normal life (Edó Gergely)
· Your body tells your story (Morning Movement Sessions) (Paco Alfonsín)

We will have a voluntary Movement program every morning. Our Group work contains lectures, small group exercise and constellation work.
