The Luso-Brazilian Transpersonal Association (ALUBRAT)
ALUBRAT was founded based on the inspiration of a pioneer of Transpersonal Psychology in Brazil, a Portuguese psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist in the transpersonal approach.
This dream was soon realized by Vera Saldanha with the support of Luiz Carlos Garcia in 1995, and by Mário Simões in 1996, with the support of Irene Maria Ferreira, Pedro Veiguinha and Vitor Silva. The third, Pierre Weil, was appointed as the honorary president of ALUBRAT.
The 1st International Transpersonal Congress of ALUBRAT, organized by Luiz Carlos Garcia, took place in Águas de Lindóia/SP in 1997, bringing together 2,200 participants.
The Luso-Brazilian designation expresses the mutual desire for cultural and scientific rapprochement between representatives of the two sister countries, aiming to create a network of cooperating units between Brazil, Portugal and other countries in the world, which can promote events of Transpersonal orientation.
It is an institution that supports and promotes Transpersonal Psychology through courses, lectures, workshops and congresses, projects and scientific research, in addition to being the pioneer in a lato sensu postgraduate program in Transpersonal Psychology in Brazil, with thousands of professionals trained in its 26 courses and 37 postgraduate classes offered, enabling research development, teaching and applicability work.
ALUBRAT aims to bring together professionals from the areas of health, education, science, culture and the arts who share the Transpersonal orientation. Its purpose is to promote transdisciplinary and the formulation of a comprehensive image of the integrated Spirituality of human life. More specifically, ALUBRAT facilitates the development of new scientific paradigms, describing human beings in their biological, psychic, social, spiritual, ecological and cosmic complex. In addition, it encourages the application of new principles and conceptual bases in psychotherapy, education, science, administration, religion, politics, the arts and other areas of human knowledge.
To this end, ALUBRAT encourages:
- the organization and coordination of research projects in the Transpersonal area;
- the organization of work fronts in education, health and other related areas;
- the promotion of training and refresher courses in Transpersonal Psychology; and
- the promotion of events that enable dialogue and interfaces with different lines of research in Psychology, seminars and informative lectures.
Brazilian Association for Research and Teaching in Transpersonal Psychology (ABRAPET)
Founded in 2011, ABRAPET’s mission is to promote, bring together and strengthen studies, research and training in Transpersonal Psychology in Brazil.
Our goal is to expand the limits of instrumental reason, opening space for new ways of “feeling-thinking” – a concept that unites reason and emotion, body and heart, as proposed by Orlando Fals Borda.
We seek to produce and disseminate scientific work in the area, encouraging the holding of conferences, seminars, meetings and publications. Our focus is to “corazonar” the transpersonal field, that is, to reconnect affectivity with intellectual rationality, as proposed by the thinker Patrício Guerrero Aria. This approach is a way of integrating affect and reason, breaking down the boundaries between the fields of intellect and emotion, which represents a counter/decolonial stance, challenging the universalizing rationality of academia and proposing a new way of understanding knowledge, feeling and being.
Commitment to training: we have a special concern with the training of researchers and therapists, recognizing contemporary challenges and the need for continuity and strengthening of the transpersonal field in Brazil.
Dialogue and social impact: ABRAPET maintains a systematic and permanent dialogue with:
- Psychology Council System
- Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)
- Social organizations
- National and international psychology entities
Our purpose is to problematize and contribute to environmental, social, political and spiritual/ancestral issues, expanding the insertion and impact of Transpersonal Psychology in Brazilian society.
