ABOUT YOYO

Background

Yoyo was born in the ‘hunger winter’ of 1944 in Amsterdam. Her grandparents having emigrated to the East Indies – a Dutch colony at the time – to escape  World War 1, both her parents were born and raised in a culture where Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and tribes with indigenous religions lived side by side.

Shortly after they met on the boat from the Indies to The Netherlands for a visit to their motherland, World War II broke out
and they found themselves trapped in ‘Holland’.

They married and had four children, Yoyo being the eldest. By 1950, when Yoyo was 6 years old, their marriage stalled and they divorced, never to see each other again.

Calling

This background formed the basis for Yoyo’s calling later in life: bridging seemingly irreconcilable opposites. Both internally and externally.

Having initially dedicated her life to the Arts she started her spiritual journey in 1979 with the Indian non-duality teacher Osho Rajneesh. Shortly after she had spent seven weeks in his ashram she won a first prize for European painting. She then began teaching painting, drama and massage and studying deep therapeutic bodywork, emotional integration and mind-shifting.

Sharing

Towards the turn of the century she started the Humanifold School for the Art of Living, in which she could combine her skills and experience and develop into the non-duality teacher that she now is. Here people come to heal their bodies, integrate emotions, shift their mind-set, meditate, develop their talents and awaken to who they truly are.
