The International Academy of Consciousness is an education and research organization dedicated to investigating consciousness and human exceptional experiences.
We believe that everyone can find the inspiration and strength to make a difference. By experiencing first-hand the spiritual world, we can address the mindsets at the root of many of today’s personal and social problems.
We want to equip people to reinvent themselves and dare to create the world they dream of, because the grasp of one’s mind determines how far one can reach.
Promoting awareness and spiritual connectedness emancipates individuals so they can fully know themselves and achieve greater self-determination.
We share knowledge and teach subtle energy and astral travel techniques to empower every person to seek their truth by themselves.
At IAC we seek to continuously examine psychic phenomena and expand our body of knowledge in a transcendental yet down-to-earth manner.
Besides our signature course, the Consciousness Development Program (CDP), we have a curriculum of over 70 advanced and thematic courses. We strive to focus on the practical applications of the knowledge we teach, encouraging direct personal experiences and stimulating lucid questioning. IAC proposes the principle:
Be Lucid. Question everything and everyone. Experiment. Ponder.
IAC training has been pivotal to many individuals who work in the area, who have been trained by the IAC or gathered in the IAC the knowledge they teach.
We have a Campus established in an area of 100,000 m² (25 acres) nestled among native cork and oak tree groves in the bucolic Alentejo region of Portugal. It provides an optimized infrastructure for scientific conferences, courses, workshops, and retreats.
A key feature of the Campus is its innovative consciousness laboratories, each designed to provide an ideal environment for self-experimentation on specific psi phenomena.
The IAC Campus library has a collection of over 35,000 books in the areas of anomalous phenomena and consciousness. Its main conference hall has state-of-the-art technology, a professional booth for simultaneous translation, and other carefully designed features to provide the best conditions for various events.
Our work is based on scientific precepts and aims to deepen human knowledge in a non-reductionist paradigm, centered on consciousness.The IAC’s academic objective is to contribute to create interdisciplinary bridges and help build a Multidimensional consciousness science for freethinkers.
Our humanitarian objective is to serve as a catalyst for individual evolution, by clarifying the multidimensional nature of consciousness and all its implications.
Our values: we value non-dogmatic learning and apply the highest level of integrity and ethics in our work.
Our vision: we envision a society where every person has spiritual awareness and freedom of thought.

I had the most amazing experience practising energy exercises with Analaura in the Energofitness program. It really blows my mind! Early this morning, at 4 am Sydney time, we practiced sending healing energy to a plant, a pet, and then a person. Whoa! What an amazing experience! It’s indescribable and nothing like I had unexpected! I’m a novice and have never done this type of exercise before. Within the short 2 hour session, I experienced different types of energy emitted by me and also experienced receiving different types of energy in return! I also experienced different kinds of interactions with the subjects. It’s like I was in a different realm, an adventure so out of this world, it’s mind blowing, fascinating and motivating!

The CDP has helped me so much to understand OBEs, to learn how to control my Energy and to love Life.
The teachers are amazing, with a lot of experience and scientific background.
The live mentoring sessions helped to clarify my doubts and deepened in the understanding of the content of the program.
Highly recommend it to everyone that wants to explore Consciousness and the multidimensional Reality we live in !!

The session was quite interesting in knowing the energy fields of our body and to use them constructively for cleansing our environment. Analaura was very patient in answering the doubts of participants. Loved her session..looking forward for many more sessions.

The Energo session was my first one and it was practical, thorough and interactive. I got alot out of it and I will be attending more. I am also doing the CDP course with the IAC and its been the best course that I have done in my 12 years of personal development. The trainers are knowledgeable, down to earth and its a very unique course which I am finding amazingly helpful and I highly recommend it to anyone intersted in consciousness, energy, dream and OBE experiences and general understanding of reality. Very happy customer here 😀

I am working in the CDP and the energofitness classes. The HEAD of the IAC leads the live classes working with many students at a time, wow. It is incredibly powerful information taught extremely well. The patience from the teachers at the IAC is fantastic, everyone having a chance to speak their questions. I only wish I started sooner, we need to know these things as multidimensional humans moving forward!

I recently participated in the energo fitnesss presentation and enjoyed it. I learned about VELO and how to activate it. I also cleared my bedroom which is adjacent to negative lines. I look forward to participating in more lessons.

I have to say......these live exercises, and the CDC program are excellent. I've been able to get plausible answers to questions about energies, a deeper understanding of what I'm and others are experiencing, and more tools to add to my energy self care kit. The instructors are very professional and kind which makes learning more enjoyable.
Now a question....would the IAC be able to give me information about courses to become certified in energy healing?
Thank you for your thorough program!

IAC CDP course November 2021 Portugal
I can say many things about the CDP course in Portugal, like the definitions and structures they present for a better insight in the non-physical universe, or all the reference material they provide to support their perspective and models.
What stands out for me however is the individual experience of the trainers.
The examples from their personal experience gives great confidence in their teachings.
It also took away my the reluctancy for entering other dimensions.
Thank you Nanci, Wagner and Joel

I found the CDP (Consciousness Development Program) course while searching for ways to Astral Project. I've tried other programs before and I can definetly say that the CDP is the most complex and explanatory, with many details on what AP is all about and what one can find while in the Astral Plane + many exercises on how to practice. Also, what I find extremly valuable is the EnergoFitness live sessions (as part of the program) - where you are guided and where also you can ask questions. Great work of the team! Thank you, all, for sharing your knowledge and helping others (re)descover their true nature as consciousness.

I am so incredibly grateful for the IAC team and their mission. I discovered the IAC by way of Nanci Trivellato's TEDx Passo Fundo talk in 2017 and since then have read her book "Vibrational State and Energy Resonance" as well as completed my first course with the IAC: The CDP Online Course. What attracted me to this institution was the fact that the teachings and courses are backed by actual scientific research and published works—with empirical data that falls in line with my own personal experiences with both baseline and altered states of consciousness. It is both a bold and courageous step that institutions like the IAC are taking, and yet necessary at the same time. There is no question that near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences and other non-physical or quantum-level phenomena not only exist but have been well-documented throughout history (especially in the last couple of centuries). The IAC, with its decades of experienced teachers and scientists, is attempting to provide a framework for an arena of study that up until recently has been considered a pseudo-science…but in truth, only because it has been human nature to fear the unknown and thus feel better as a society by casting such arenas into dismissive taboos. It might stand to reason that even if a curious individual isn't interested in working with their bioenergies to attain what is known as the vibrational state (and consequently generating optimal conditions for an OBE) or some other non-physical phenomena, working with the tried-and-true VELO (Voluntary Energetic Longitudnal Oscillation) technique works as a natural anti-depressant, cleansing the mind and allowing for clearer and more lucid lines of thinking even in every-day, problem-solving, waking life. After having meditated for 4 years and been practicing yoga for 6 years, and I can say that the VELO completes my repertoire of mindfulness exercises to keep me mentally sharp, compassionate, and balanced towards myself and others. Truth be told, learning how to do the VELO is just like learning a new exercise or technique at the gym—one may not pick it up immediately, but like any other muscle in the body, the mind is a muscle that can be trained to perform mental exercises with increasing efficiency the more it is practiced. If you are curious about consciousness, emotions or any ways in which you can improve your level of day-to-day happiness I highly recommend the CDP Online course as an introduction to become a better version of yourself.

This is not an artificially generated profile. I'm from Barcelona City. from the Grácia neighborhood. After living an exaggeratedly Paranormal experience in May 2017, I vividly searched for an explanation. A friend named Pilar recommended the International Academy of Consciousness to me. After completing the Consciousness Development Course in February and March of 2018, I have received a much higher amount of information than what I initially needed. Also I have met very nice people between students and teachers. SIGN UP? DO NOT EVEN DOUBT IT!

This is the course I longed for 40 years ago and am grateful to have found it now. It's the kind of information and hands on techniques that are accessible to a person who did not want to commit to a guru and finding out their yogic secrets. It is thorough and trustworthy in a way I find picking up some YouTubes here and there isn't. It is scientific without having to rely on a lot of technological gimmicks. I appreciated the help of group coaching sessions along the way. I appreciated the support via email to answer questions that came up along the way. Generally those answers were prompt. Perhaps most importantly to anyone taking the CDP, which is a lot about having an out of body experience, I had them and continue to have them! Honestly, I didn't believe it would happen and was happily surprised when I did. To date, each experience has been extraordinarily uplifting and I hope to keep up the CDP practices routinely.
I would recommend this course. As a person who is a trained mentor in a spiritual awakening teaching, I think my recommendation should be given added weight.
Here are my reservations for those considering taking this course. If you are off put by "Spiritualism" you might find this course doesn't work for you. Also, be aware of your own disposition towards hierarchies of spirituality. Can you work with that? Also, as this work by the International Academy of Consciousness is overall trustworthy and scientific, I do not think it is accounting for those of us, a kind of new breed, that are experiencing "awakening." I'm speaking particularly of that wave of embodied awakening that is currently taking place on the planet. "Awakening" can be a misleading word, to be sure, yet I don't have another one. What it meant for me is, it was a little problematic fitting myself on the IAC map. In important ways I don't fit that map and my challenge to IAC would be to calibrate their studies in view of this collective shift taking place. A minor issue, and I do so respect the talents of Nanci Trivellato especially with language because I only speak one, is sometimes her use of the English language was a little problematic. Fortunately I could stop and start the videos which pretty much solved that.
I am deeply grateful from my heart for this course. Thank-you to the IAC, to wonderful Nanci Trivellato, and all the instructors.

The IAC offers a profound and deep evaluation of the human form and systematic behaviors between people, our planet, and all the energies we all exist in together. The techniques taught for more effective ways of becoming free and less diverted from our truth as individuals are timeless and perfect in their format as we know and need them to be today (2021)! All the instructors are knowledgable, kind, clear, and patient.
Just one of my favorite aspects about this organization is the 30+ years of scientific documentation PLUS personal experiences from those willing to add to the data. These two levels of awareness work so well together and as a free thinker, I have come to appreciate the combination even more since I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 2016. I have been dabbling in the spiritual life for 27 years as a yoga teacher/practitioner, and when I discovered the IAC and took the Consciousness Development Program in 2017, a lot of gaps in what I experienced, knew, and then came to understand were connected or filled through this program. It helped me feel more safe and courageous in my personal life.

It's amazing to learn from IAC's instructors who support everyone with deep understanding and motivation. Very clear, practical and helpful step-by-step instructions and tips on how to do things, that lie beyond our physical reality and perception.
I took Consciousness Development Program online and it was like a guided near-death-experience for me. To say it brought significant positive changes in my life is to say nothing. I just feel reborn, waked up from mental coma.

I saw IAC by coincidence online around the year 2004 and went to one of their free events. I loved the talk given and found it really interesting so I became member straight away on the same day. I completed CDP 1 and 2 and went to live to Spain for a while. Years laters I returned to the academy and completed all 4 CDP plus other courses and found the overall experience amazing.
All instructors are very well trained, they know what they are taking about and I have always received the help I needed.
I really recommend this training, It has been a very enriching experience.
Thanks
