Vasco has worked with over 30,000 people across 25+ countries — from individuals at crossroads to leaders at organisations like SAP, Santander, and the United Nations — helping them find clarity in complexity, presence under pressure, and the courage to move forward authentically.

His work creates the conditions for deeper wisdom to emerge: the intelligence of the body, the knowing of the heart, the intuition that arises when we slow down enough to listen.

Trained directly by pioneers such as Gabor Maté, Otto Scharmer, Richard Schwartz, and Kamlesh Patel — Vasco weaves awareness practices, trauma-informed methods, somatic approaches, and Heartfulness meditation into one coherent, safe, and beautiful space.

Every human being carries a unique potential — and the right, and the responsibility, to manifest it fully.

Beneath the noise of daily life, beneath the weight of what we've carried, something in us remains untouched. Your Essence — pure, peaceful, whole — has never been damaged. It was only waiting to be remembered.

This is where the work begins.

Three Dimensions of
One Integrated Approach

Awareness-Based

Modern science and ancient wisdom together. Becoming more present, aware and connected — to ourselves and to the world around us.

Trauma-Informed

Safe spaces that hold and release — where body and mind meet to transform what trauma has frozen within us.

Heartfulness-Rooted

Connecting to our innate goodness, wisdom and Essence — while sensing our highest future potential. The heart as home.

What Participants Say

20+ years · 30K people · 60+ nationalities

"I came away with a sense of soothing in my system and hope for humanity in my heart. I am still amazed by the energy — it alighted a sense of awe in me."

Shirley — Deep U participant, Galway, Ireland, 2025

"I'm so grateful for your capacity to hold me in walking through some very difficult, dark and painful places. You took your time, with kindness and curiosity, but most importantly, sincere connection. I've had lots of therapy in the past, but this has been transformational."

Individual Session Participant — Inner Dive, online, 2024

"Probably the most transformative experience of my life."

Clara — IFS Labs, Lisbon, Portugal, 2022

"Nine years ago, I lost my brother in an accident. I was there and witnessed everything. Since then, I relive it every day. After this program, I was able to calm my mind, fall asleep within minutes, and sleep through the night for the first time. For me, that was a victory."

Ana — Mindfulness-Based Emotional Intelligence, Gulbenkian, Lisbon, 2017

"It was life-changing, shifting my focus from 'what I want from life' to being attuned to 'what life wants to live through me'."

Teresa — Deep U Retreat, Kanha, India, 2025

"I felt so safe in the space you offered — and being held in this space opened the possibility of entering deep inner blockages that hadn't surfaced before. Such a welcoming and safe space is rare.
I have not met such a safe space from anyone else."

Lisbeth — Inner Dive, online, 2025

"Profound and transformative. It introduces a completely new way of looking at your inner world."

Gonçalo — IFS Labs, Lisbon, 2023

Mindfulness

by Vasco Gaspar

Have you found yourself travelling in your car and not remembering the route you just took? Have you ever opened your laptop to send an email and ended up spending an hour online doing all sorts of things except sending that email?

We spend the days dominated by stress; we are dissatisfied, distracted from life, with the feeling that there is no alternative. But there is.

With this book and guided meditation plan for eight weeks, performed by several people around the world, you will be able to be more present, more connected to those around you and to every moment you live.

From Anger to Love

What is the purpose of anger? How can we let it transform us? What is love? How can we become more loving? These are some of the questions addressed in this book, which is an interdisciplinary collaboration of experts who share their experiences and insights on the emotions of anger and love. It is a practical self-help guide and a rich repository of personal stories and information from science, psychology, and spirituality. The authors all practice and teach some method of self-development, and each brings a unique perspective to the topic, along with the methods that have helped them transform. The result is a set of simple practices and lifestyle tips that will help change your life for the better.
