What Alubrat does

ALUBRAT — Associação Luso-Brasileira de Transpessoal — is a Brazilian nonprofit civil association founded in 1995 by Profa. Dra. Vera Pizzichini Saldanha to deliver postgraduate education in Transpersonal Psychology across Brazil and Portugal. Headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo, with an additional São Paulo operating location, the organization has trained more than 3,000 students across 33 postgraduate cohorts in eight Brazilian cities and has conducted 11 international congresses alternating between Brazil and Portugal. Its core technology is the proprietary Abordagem Integrativa Transpessoal (AIT), a transpersonal psychology methodology built around seven integrative stages and a consciousness-cartography framework, validated through founder Vera Saldanha's doctoral dissertation at UNICAMP and certified at the lato sensu postgraduate level by Faculdade Unità in compliance with MEC requirements.

The primary product is the Pós-Graduação em Psicologia Transpessoal, delivered as a 21-module, 600-hour program in both in-person (São Paulo) and online (through partner Instituto Vera Saldanha) modalities. Adjacent offerings include specialization courses such as the Especialização em Psicoaromaterapia, the ALUBRATFLIX digital content platform, 11 international congresses, and a tiered association membership program (Student, Effective, and Monitor) priced at R$144-R$288 for 1-2 year terms. Revenue is generated through course fees (undisclosed), membership subscriptions, event ticket/registration revenue, and partner-delivered specializations. GTM is event-driven and community-led, combining international congresses, in-person postgraduate cohorts, the IVS online program, alumni referrals from a 3,000+ member network, and direct WhatsApp/email contact for enrollment conversion.

The customer base spans psychologists, healthcare professionals, educators, social workers, and corporate/organizational practitioners, with 12 PhDs and 7 Masters (including international faculty from Italy, USA, England, and Portugal) on the teaching staff. ALUBRAT operates with a lean core team of 6 employees and uses an outsourced-delivery model via partners (Instituto Vera Saldanha, CreSer, Faculdade Unità, Unipaz) to run programs without proportional internal headcount expansion, supporting a multi-channel educational business that is brand- and methodology-led rather than technology- or capital-led.

Others

• International Transpersonal Association (ITA): International professional association advancing transpersonal psychology research, education, and practice. Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a competing training provider, but the broader industry body that legitimizes the category in which ALUBRAT operates.
• Instituto Vera Saldanha (IVS): Strategic partner and content creator that has co-developed the AIT-based postgraduate programs with ALUBRAT since 1995 and operates the online delivery channel. Functionally an enabling partner rather than competitor; if separated, IVS would directly compete.

Direct peers

• Grof Transpersonal Training: International training organization offering certified programs in transpersonal psychology and breathwork based on Stanislav Grof's work. Direct peer in the same transpersonal training niche, though operating primarily in English-speaking markets.
• Instituto Palas Athena: Brazilian institute offering postgraduate training and certification in Jungian and transpersonal psychology for mental health professionals. Closest direct peer — same target audience (Brazilian psychologists and therapists), similar postgraduate model, and overlapping philosophical orientation.
• Unipaz: Brazilian university and network offering transpersonal and human development education, including postgraduate programs and congresses. Direct peer with overlapping methodology (transpersonal/integral education) and an existing partnership with ALUBRAT faculty (Roberto de Souza Crema serves as Reitor).

Emerging players

• Hakomi Institute: International professional training organization offering somatic/mindfulness-based psychotherapy certification for mental health professionals. Comparable model (postgraduate-level certification for clinicians) but different content domain — represents the kind of niche professional training competitor ALUBRAT operates alongside.

Broad incumbents

• California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS): US-accredited university offering degree and certificate programs in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology. Larger, more established incumbent operating in the same broad field with formal academic accreditation, providing a reference point for what a scaled transpersonal education institution can become.
