Short Introduction of Louise
Louise Bloemen was born in 1943 in Holland, as second of ten children of a pharmacist father and a nurse mother. She is divorced and has a daughter. She has been working since 1975 as a Gestalt therapist, rebirther, experiential trainer/facilitator and astrologer. The experience of her own crises, her holistic studies and humanistic techniques make her a dedicated guide and authentic therapist.
In Europe her trainings include Gestalt (by Walter Kempler, scholar of Fritz Perls), Voice-Dialogue (by Hal Stone and Sidra Winkelman, the founding couple), ‘Death and transition’ (by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross), dream-work by Brazilian psychiatrist Leo Matos, ‘Non-violent communication’ from a scholar of Marshall Rosenberg, the Avatar training (by Michel Leterrier). The weeks in India, Poona, 1979, in the ashram of Bhagwan/Osho were the base for her transpersonal awakening and evolution: Samadhi-tank, Gurdieff's concentration exercises and the ‘who am I’-workshop. She went to the USA for the Rebirthing-method from founder Leonard Orr in San Francisco and experienced regression in the center of Chris Griscom in Santa Fe.
Louise is a practicing follower of life-long-learning in the fields of therapy, spirituality and especially in Gnostic philosophy. She visited Osho, Krishnamurti, Daskalos and Amma. She frequented the Templar Knights, Theosophists, Sufis, the Golden Rosecross, Damanhur.
Keywords of Louise’s work are inner wholeness and conscious harmony: raising consciousness to create individual-, family-, social-, and planetary harmony. Her workshops are open for anyone, because they focus on the self-experience of the participants, deepened by Louise’s transpersonal, holistic view and attitude, her clear thinking and intuitive approach.
After years of living and working in France, and workshops in Holland, Louise came to Hungary in 2005 as one of the therapists of the Summerschool of the Hungarian Transpersonal Association. She continued since then, giving workshops, private sessions and residential retreats in Budapest, Szeged, Debrecen and Pécs. In July 2023, Louise started the 5th Rebirthing Facilitator Training.
In 2012 she was invited to work in Greece, first in Athens, and from 2014 on Crete, where she was regularly present until mid 2022.
In 2017 and 2018 workshops were given in Romania, in Bucarest and in Transsylvania.
Louise is working in English, French, German and Dutch; in Hungary, she works in English with consecutive translation.
She was until 2019 a member of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy – EAGT.
