About us

Who we are

We un­der­stand our com­mit­ment and work of over 40 years in CORE EVOLUTION® as a con­tri­bu­tion to an emo­tion­ally in­teg­rated, peace­ful so­ci­ety.

In our work with in­di­vidu­als, couples and groups, pro­fes­sion­al train­ings, or­gan­iz­a­tion­al con­sult­ing, con­flict res­ol­u­tion and per­son­al heal­ing, we fa­cil­it­ate a deep­er un­der­stand­ing of our present-day life is­sues to raise the con­scious­ness and qual­ity of life.

We search to touch the es­sence of a per­son with com­pet­ence, love and joy, sup­port­ing the full po­ten­tial to be real­ized.

With over 40 years of teach­ing ex­per­i­ence, we are pi­on­eers in the field of In­teg­rat­ive Body-Ori­en­ted and Mind­ful­ness-Centered Ther­apy, So­mat­ic, Hu­man­ist­ic, Post­ive and Transper­son­al Psy­cho­logy, with ex­pan­ded stud­ies in psy­cho­dy­nam­ics and be­ha­vi­or­al ap­proaches. Our teach­ing is at the cut­ting edge of con­scious­ness re­search in the spec­trum of sci­ence and spir­itu­al­ity and the ap­plic­a­tion in life and work.

Siegmar Gerken, PHD, ECP, HP (Psy​cho​ther­​apy) stud​ied psy​cho​­­logy, edu​ca​­­tion and an­­​­­thro​­­po​­­logy. He taught on the fac​ulty of the JFK University So​mat​ic Psy​cho​­­logy De​­­part​­­ment, the Santa Bar​bara Gradu​ate In​sti­­tute, the Esalen In​sti​­­tute, and the Be​ha​vi​or​al Ther­­​apy Train​ing In​sti​­­tute in Ham​burg. 

From learn­ing and teach­ing with John C. Pi­er­rakos, MD for nearly 20 years (until 2001), meet­ing Jiddu Krish­namurti and David Bohm, prac­ti­cing Zen and ex­plor­ing many other realms of con­scious­ness, Dr. Gerken has al­ways been in­ter­ested in build­ing bridges between Psy­cho­logy and Spir­itu­al­ity, En­vir­on­ment, Per­son­al­ity and Eco-Psy­cho­logy, Science, Medi­cine, Heal­ing and the subtle di­men­sions of life.

He now teaches at uni​ver­­​s­it​ies and private in­­​sti​­­tutes world​wide, on the in­­​ter­­​­­con­­​nec​ted​­­ness of psy­cho​so​mat​ic pro​­­cesses as they man­i​fest on the levels of body, emo​­­tions, mind, will and con­­​s­­cious​­­ness. For al­­most 15 years, Dr. Gerken also led Change Man­age­­ment work­shops at the Nor­we­­gi­an De­fense University Col­lege.  

His re​search in human en­­​ergy field doc​u​­­ment​a​­­tion with Prof. F. Popp on psy​cho-emo​­­tion​al states of our Body-MInd Field, opened new ho​ri​zons to sci​ent​ists and prac­­​ti​­­tion​ers. He is co-founder of the Scien­ti­f​ic Com​mit​tee of the EABP. Dr. Gerken is a lec​turer, ther­­​ap­i​st, train​er and su​per­­​visor.
