CORE EVOLUTION is a professional analytic and body-oriented therapy, life coaching and teaching system. Its foundation is the comprehensive understanding that essence and life energy is expressed through our Core
– the center of the individuated universal life energy, a wellspring of healing, joy, creativity and wisdom.

 

 

CORE EVOLUTION is based on:

  • contemporary scientific research on the interaction of body and mind
  • the therapeutic foundations of relational, emotion-focussed, body-oriented psychotherapy
  • family systems
  • developmental theories of bonding and attachment
  • its own research-based approach to Trauma Therapy
  • incorporating Western and Eastern teachings

CORE EVOLUTION unifies knowledge and intuition, science and the wisdom of the heart, psychology and philosophy. It explores the interconnectedness of life as it manifests in the unity of body, emotions, feelings, mind, will and the field of consciousness.

CORE EVOLUTION provides the basis for a deeper understanding of the dynamic interrelationship of energy and consciousness, how they affect our personal development, the formation of our personalities, as well as our interactions with others and the world, thus influencing our perceptions of reality.

CORE EVOLUTION honors the integrity and wholeness of the person, approaching each individual with
mindfulness, empathy and compassion.
