Pneuma Institute

VISION

Our vision is to create a positive impact in the world by contributing with a complete educational system for self knowledge born from the synthesis of ancient traditions designed to foster self-realization.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide a multidisciplinary, academic, artistic and spiritual education that cultivates a transcendental type of consciousness to create a new Culture of Peace. We aim to help humanity to appreciate life as a precious opportunity to achieve self realization.

VALUES

We respect all religions and spiritual traditions. We value inner wisdom and superior emotion which enables us to walk towards a future of coexistence, decency, freedom, compassion and brotherhood with others and with nature.

PNEUMA, the Greek term for Spirit which evokes an eternal and unnameable knowledge, is what will always inspire our service to community. Our intention is for Spirit to always be present in each of our actions.

Pneuma Education

Pneuma is the path of knowledge.  Pneuma means Spirit or breath in Ancient Greek. Within The Pneuma System the philosophy of all eras is synthised. It is the origin and the goal of inner psychological and spiritual education which leads individuals and communities to absolute happiness.

Pneuma Breathwork Gaden Shartse

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.
