Education
Longer-form study in Awareness Attunement, bringing together contemplative practice, embodiment, perception, philosophy and lived integration.
Education at Healing Institute brings together contemplative traditions, embodied practice and experiential inquiry into structured pathways for study, practice and integration.
These trainings are designed for people who wish to deepen their relationship with awareness, embodiment and lived experience, whether for personal practice, professional integration or the creation of spaces for others.
Rather than offering techniques in isolation, the educational work explores how consciousness, body, emotion, relationship and perception continually shape one another.
Healing Academy
Year I — Foundations of Awareness & Embodiment
Healing Academy Year I is a 12-month foundational training within Healing Institute.
During this year we explore awareness, embodiment, relational maturity and contemplative practice through grounded, integrative and practice-based learning.
Rather than focusing on rapid transformation, spiritual performance or collecting modalities, the program is designed as a gradual process of developing deeper self-observation, ethical discernment, embodied presence and perceptual maturity.
The Academy approaches contemplative and symbolic systems not as fixed truths to adopt, but as experiential frameworks through which human perception, meaning and relationship can be explored.
Year I serves as the foundational stage of a broader developmental pathway within Healing Institute.
We offer a sliding-scale tuition fee for the Healing Academy, adjusted according to the GDP of the country where each participant lives and works. For more information, please fill out the application form.
Program Orientation
Healing Academy is intended for individuals who feel called toward a more grounded and embodied approach to inner work.
The program supports people who value depth over intensity, seek practice rather than identity performance, and are interested in awareness, embodiment, relational consciousness and contemplative inquiry.
It is open both to individuals with previous experience in personal development, contemplative or spiritual work and to those entering this path more intentionally for the first time.
Not Designed For
At the same time, the Academy is not designed for spiritual superiority dynamics, bypassing, power seeking, modality collecting, dependency-based dynamics, guru projection or rapid practitioner identity formation.

Required Retreat
The yearly retreat is an integral part of the Academy and is required for receiving the Year I Certificate of Completion and progression into future pathways.
The retreat is approximately four days, held mid-program and focuses on embodiment, contemplative practice, relational presence, community integration, silence and direct experience.
Note: The retreat is not included in base tuition. Retreat, accommodation, meals and travel are not included in tuition. Estimated investment is approximately 700–1,400 EUR. Participants are responsible for all retreat, accommodation and travel expenses.
Core Developmental Capacities
Year I focuses on cultivating six core capacities that form the foundation of contemplative practice and embodied awareness.
Capacity for Self-Observation
Developing the ability to recognize patterns, projections, emotional reactivity, identification and internal dynamics with increasing clarity and honesty.
Embodied Awareness
Learning to remain connected to direct experience through the body, nervous system awareness, grounded presence and regulation.
Ethical Discernment
Cultivating sensitivity toward influence, boundaries, relational responsibility, power dynamics and the ethical dimensions of transformational work.
Relational Awareness
Exploring how awareness functions within relationship, communication, listening, projection and interpersonal dynamics.
Contemplative Discipline
Developing sustainable practice, consistency, attentional stability and the capacity to remain present within long-term processes.
Perceptual Humility
Learning to hold experience with openness and discernment rather than certainty, inflation or rigid identification.
Year I Structure
Grounding & Awareness

Integration & Embodied Practice
Integration of practice into daily life, discernment, relational maturity, embodied presence and foundational facilitation awareness.
Tuition & Payment Options
Healing Academy is intentionally designed as a small cohort, long-term developmental training rather than a mass-scale online course. Pricing reflects the intimate cohort structure, long-term educational process, live teaching environment, retreat integration and depth-oriented nature of the program.
Standard International
Poland Local Scale
India GDP-Based Scale
Country-Adjusted Tuition: A GDP-based sliding scale is available for participants residing in countries with lower income levels. Additional country-adjusted scales may be available for other lower-income countries. If this applies to you, please mention it in your application. Each request is reviewed individually.
Retreat, Accommodation & Travel: Retreat, accommodation, meals and travel are not included in tuition.
I want the international nature of the Academy to be reflected in its tuition structure. If the standard tuition does not correspond to the economic conditions of your country of residence, you may request a country-adjusted rate in your application.
Certification
Participants who complete Year I, including the required retreat component, receive a Certificate of Completion for the foundational year.
Important: Completion of Year I does not certify participants as therapists, healers or professional practitioners.
Selected participants may later apply for continuation within advanced pathways inside Healing Institute.
What Participants Are Saying
Discovering myself is both frustrating and beautiful. Sometimes this greater awareness scares me because it feels like a responsibility. For me, the biggest thing is that I have learned to love my ordinary self, just as I am. I have a much better connection with my body now.
— Małgosia, Healing Academy v2Healing Institute courses have always brought big shifts for me. I am taking away my own mantra: stop beating yourself. I have realized I have the right to feel all kinds of unpleasant emotions and react in ways that are not perfect, because I do not have to be perfect. I am unique.
— Barbara, Healing Academy v3This program was one of the best workshops I have ever done. It was really spot-on. Not too intense, but it still opened deep processes and real changes. It grabbed me by the throat and said: look, see who you are.
