Who we are

A bridge between Grof’s legacy and contemporary professional practice

The Grofian Institute brings together rigorous study, direct experience and careful integration. Our purpose is to make the field of Transpersonal Psychology accessible without losing the depth, context or ethical responsibility that this work requires.

We organize professional training, residential experiential modules, educational programs and international collaborations. Our work serves psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, therapists, educators and other professionals, as well as people pursuing serious personal development.

We are the authorized representatives of Grof® Legacy Training for Ibero-America, working in relationship with the international training network established by Stanislav and Brigitte Grof.

Grof® Legacy Training

Authorized representation

Our institute supports the training pathway in Ibero-America in relationship with the international organization founded by Stanislav and Brigitte Grof.

Today

A bilingual international platform

We connect students and professionals across Chile, Mexico, Spain and Portugal through online learning and carefully designed residential modules.

How we work

Depth requires responsibility

Professionals considering this field need more than inspiring language. They need clarity about standards, boundaries and what the training actually involves.

Preparation & screening

Participation begins with informed assessment of physical and psychological considerations.

Experiential learning

Conceptual study is complemented by direct, carefully supported experience.

Consent & non-imposition

Facilitation respects autonomy and does not impose interpretations on a participant’s process.

Integration

Time and structure are dedicated to making meaning of experience and supporting its responsible application.

Professional scope

Certification does not replace local clinical licensure or authorize practice beyond applicable law.

Continuing community

Learning is supported through faculty contact, peer relationships and ongoing professional development.

An important distinction

Education, experience and clinical treatment are not interchangeable

Grof Breathwork is an intensive experiential method and is not appropriate for everyone. Workshops and training are not substitutes for medical or mental-health treatment. Participation requires appropriate screening, informed consent and respect for local professional and legal frameworks.

Our training pages explain prerequisites, experiential requirements and certification standards so prospective students can make an informed decision.

Why professionals choose us

Substance before spectacle

Our programs are designed for people who value lineage and innovation, but also expect transparent structure, responsible claims and an environment suited to serious learning.
