Rainer Pervöltz

Rainer Pervöltz was born in 1944 and raised in Berlin. After graduating in German and Romance Studies, he accepted an invitation to go to California, where he discovered his true calling: He found several teachers from whom he learned forms of Gestalt and Bodywork Therapy, especially Jack Lee Rosenberg and Eric Marcus. It was here that he first came into contact with various Buddhist and Taoist teachings. Andrew DaPassano was his first spiritual teacher. In London, he studied Biodynamic Body Therapy with Gerda Boyesen, was a Biodynamic trainer for many years, and in 1983, together with friends, founded the Chiron Centre, a therapy and training center. He lived in London for twelve years and then returned to Germany. After Paris, Los Angeles, and London, Freiburg im Breisgau became his chosen home. Here too, together with friends, he founded a training center, the "Transpersonal School for Psychology and Psychotherapy," and later, in 2011, the "International Institute for Consciousness Research." He learned a lot from Mantak Chia in the field of Taoist energy teachings, and Arnold Mindell was one of his most important teachers in the broad field of dream body work. Rainer Pervöltz works as a therapist, supervisor, and teacher in Germany and other European countries. He now lives happily in a small village near Freiburg, Germany. Rainer Pervöltz offers trainings and seminars on the topic of "The Central." If you are interested, you can find information at www.bewusstseinserforschung.de and www.pervoeltz.de.
