KNOW YOURSELF

In ancient Greek, Pneuma means spirit or breath of life. Within the word Pneuma the philosophy of all times is synthesized. It is the origin and goal of inner psychological and spiritual education that leads individuals and communities to absolute happiness.

We offer a comprehensive and multidisciplinary education for the cultivation of awareness and inner knowledge through our academic, artistic and spiritual programs.

TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PNEUMA BREATHWORK TRAINING, is the certification program that we offer as our own degree, in two modalities, face-to-face and online.

PNEUMA DANCE is a training program that recovers the knowledge and methodology of the sacred dances of the world.

Pneuma Institute Breathwork

PNEUMA BREATHWORK

Pneuma Breathwork is a revolutionary, deep and easy practice that gives natural access to extraordinary or transpersonal states of consciousness. These states allow for the exploration of the more subtle and refined inner dimensions of the psyche.
The objective of Pneuma Breathwork is to open our perception to the deeper unknown contents of our psyche in order to make contact with our spiritual essence, with inner peace, and to gradually heal our lives.
