Svarup de Koning

PRIMAL THERAPIST, LEAD FACILITATOR

Svarup de Koning is a Primal Facilitator and has been leading therapy groups and trainings all over the world for over 40 years. After graduating in philosophy at the University of Rome, Svarup worked and trained for several years with R.D. Laing, running one of his therapeutic communities in London, UK. Svarup met OSHO, her master, in 1984. From that time on, Svarup has been facilitating groups on Childhood and Teenage Deconditioning, sexuality, Essence work, as well as meditative therapies.

In 1999, together with her partner, Premartha de Koning, they founded the “Twice Born School” aimed to facilitate Childhood deconditioning workshops and train facilitators.

The Childhood De-conditioning 10 Sessions Process was born out of their vast experience with Arthur Janov, Bert Hellinger, John Bradshaw, Faisal Muqquaddam, Wilhelm Reich, Fritz Perls and Osho works.

Each developmental phase is addressed through a different and appropriate technique looking for healing and completion phase by phase. The result is a clear, concrete, rich and well defined process, deeply touching and transforming the lives of thousands of participants worldwide.

Together they wrote “Twice Born” and “The Little Buddha and the Cosmos” books, both available at Amazon.com
