DIPI · Primary education · Free program
Knowing yourself better. Learning to live together.
DIPI — Desarrollo Integral de la Percepción y la Intuición, the Integral Development of Perception and Intuition — is a free educational program in which children aged 10 to 12 explore their intuition, recognise what they feel and practise listening and empathy.
Sessions are run in Spanish. Write to us if you would like to explore the program from outside Spain.
What it is
Connecting with yourself. Listening to others.
DIPI helps pupils get to know themselves better and explore their intuition. It combines breathing, guided meditations, movement and perception games. Each experience invites them to observe what they feel, share it and relate it to everyday life.
In an age of screens, messages and fast stimuli, finding a moment of calm can be hard. DIPI is an invitation to pause: to quieten mental activity, breathe, and open an inner space for listening, imagining and creating.
It is an initiative of the Education Committee of the Instituto de Visión Intuitiva, born out of years of working individually with hundreds of children. We believe the chance to know yourself better and develop your inner resources should be within everyone's reach.
What it works on
Four aims we support and assess
It can complement the school's pastoral work and emotional education.
Attention
Practising a pause and returning to the task when we get distracted. A resource for study and learning.
Inner listening
Recognising how we are, expressing what we need and exploring ways of calming down before responding.
Confidence
Daring to take part, communicating an impression of one's own and learning from experience without comparing oneself to others.
Empathy and living together
Listening to a classmate, cooperating, and understanding that we can experience the same situation in different ways.
The journey
Eight meetings. One shared process.
One session a week for eight weeks, of 90 or 120 minutes, at a time agreed with the school.
Connecting with yourself
Emotions and creativity

What we have observed
Attention, confidence, calm and connection
