About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Founder and Director of Pneuma Trance®, and developer of the Pneuma Trance® Method — a structured approach to trance induced and sustained through introspective breathing, guided attention, meditation and symbolic processes. He holds a Master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology.
His work focuses on the disciplined exploration of Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness (ENOC) through non-clinical, structured and repeatable practices integrating neurophysiological regulation, attentional training and introspective observation.
Louis serves as lead facilitator and space holder during Pneuma Trance® retreats, guiding participants through trance practices, meditation, symbolic work, ceremonial processes and group integration. His role includes maintaining the structure, safety and coherence of the retreat environment, supporting grounding, regulation and integration throughout the experience. He is certified by the American Red Cross in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED.
He is also Founder of the Pneuma Trance Research Institute (PTRI), where the method is studied through structured observation, documentation and ongoing research into consciousness, introspective practices and non-clinical models of regulated trance.
His retreat work may also include traditional cleansing practices, fire-based ceremonial work, chanting, sound, focused-intention practices and structured conscious-contact exploration. These elements are approached as experiential and spiritual practices, without guarantees of specific outcomes or therapeutic claims.
