"Transpersonal psychology, from the perspective of Pneuma Studies, revives ancestral psychologies where the spiritual principle is the true nature of the human being, where the medicine to balance, integrate, and unify our psyche is found. From this spiritual foundation, we can enter the labyrinth like a warrior in search of the minotaur, in search of the ego, the source of pathology and all forms of suffering."

Juan Ruiz Naupari


This class is part of the online live course Inner Knowledge & Pneuma Breathwork, which is a comprehensive program for exploring human nature, the current state of the world, society, and the individual. In each class, you will discover answers to the great existential questions: Who am I? What is the meaning of life? Is there something beyond this everyday reality?

“Inner Knowledge & Pneuma Breathwork” provides the keys to understanding why human beings, including yourself, experience states of stress, conflict, fear, depression, ambition, and many other toxic dynamics, offering a path toward greater states of fulfillment, peace, love, and balance.

In addition to the theoretical framework, the course includes two unique practices in transpersonal psychology, designed by Prof. Juan Ruiz Naupari, for effective and transformative inner work: Analytical Meditation and Pneuma Breathwork. With these two practices, along with your perseverance and discipline, you can achieve definitive and permanent changes in the patterns of behavior, emotion, and thought that generate internal and external conflicts.
