Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Juan Ruiz Naupari (born 11 December 1956) is a Peruvian psychologist and spiritual teacher associated with transpersonal psychology and the development of Pneuma Breathwork, a technique intended to explore expanded states of consciousness.[1] He is the founder and director of the Pneuma Institute, established in 1992, which offers training in transpersonal psychology and related practices.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Juan Ruiz Naupari was born in Cusco, Peru, on 11 December 1956. He was introduced to spiritual practices by his grandfather during his youth, which sparked an interest in mysticism and consciousness studies.[1] He pursued studies in psychology and psychotherapy, focusing on transpersonal psychology, and reportedly trained under psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, a notable figure in non-ordinary states of consciousness and holotropic breathwork.[3] However, specific academic credentials or independent confirmation of this training are not widely documented.
Career
[edit]Ruiz has worked in the field of transpersonal psychology, developing Pneuma Transpersonal Psychology and Pneuma Breathwork, which are based on a comparative study of ancient philosophies and the expansion of consciousness.[4][5] In 1992, he founded the Pneuma Institute in Mount Shasta, California, with branches in the Americas, Europe, and India, offering programs accredited by the European Transpersonal Psychology Association (ETPA) and the Romanian College of Psychologists.[6]
His work has been noted in niche publications, such as a 2010 profile in LA Yoga Magazine, and he has presented on transpersonal psychology and Pneuma Breathwork at academic conferences, including the EUROTAS 2024 event.[1][4] Ruiz has participated in transpersonal psychology conferences organized by EUROTAS, contributing to discussions on consciousness expansion.[1]
Cultural and spiritual initiatives
[edit]Ruiz has been involved in initiatives supporting cultural preservation, including the Inkarri Project, which assists the Q'ero Nation, an indigenous Andean community in Peru, and the Buddha Maitreya Project, which supports the Gaden Shartse Monastery in India.[7][8] He played a logistical role in coordinating the 14th Dalai Lama’s visit to Puerto Rico from 23 to 25 September 2004, as noted in the Dalai Lama’s official travel records.[9] He also coordinated the first initiation of the Buddha Maitreya in India in 2011 and participated in the 2019 commemoration of the 600th anniversary of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Parinirvana at Gaden Shartse Monastery.[4][10]
Recognition and influence
[edit]Ruiz is listed as a faculty member at Spiru Haret University in Romania and Gaden Shartse Norling Monastic University in India, with collaboration agreements documented by EUROTAS, but there is little significant coverage in mainstream academic or journalistic outlets to establish broader notability.[6][4]
