Our Offerings
The work takes many forms. The intention is always the same: to create the conditions for something real to happen — in you, and through you.
Below you'll find the full range of offerings — from immersive retreats and experiential labs to private sessions and custom programs for organizations. Each one is designed to meet you where you are, and accompany you toward what wants to emerge.

Deep U Retreat
3–4 days · Residential & Non-Residential · India, Portugal & More
An immersive journey to the center of yourself. Over three to four days, in a setting of stillness and beauty, you'll be gently guided inward — through layers of awareness and the gentle release that trauma-informed somatic work and Heartfulness meditation make possible — into the parts of yourself that rarely get space. What tends to emerge is clarity, aliveness, and a renewed sense of direction.
A retreat for those ready to go beneath the surface — where people meet themselves, each other, and what matters most.


SPT Labs · Somatic Presencing
2 days · In-Person · May 1-2, 2026 · Upaya Center, Lisbon, Portugal
The body knows things the mind hasn't caught up with yet. Somatic Presencing is a two-day experiential journey into that intelligence — using Social Presencing Theater (SPT) to make visible what is usually invisible: the dynamics of your inner system, the patterns held in the body, and the movement that wants to emerge from a deeper place.
Through stillness, simple movement, and embodied awareness, you'll reconnect body and mind — and from that grounded presence, sense more clearly what is true, what is stuck, and what is ready to shift.


IFS Labs
2 days · In-Person · Lisbon, Portugal
The mind is not one thing. It is many — a multiplicity of inner parts, each with its own story, its own fear, its own form of protection. IFS Labs is a two-day experiential journey into that inner world — using Internal Family Systems and Compassionate Inquiry to meet those parts with curiosity rather than judgment.
What tends to emerge is something quietly profound: the Self, our core Essence, that was always there beneath the noise. Calmer, clearer, and more capable of leading from within.


Inner Dives
Private · One-on-one · Online
For those ready to go deeper. Each session is a private guided journey with Vasco, drawing on IFS, Compassionate Inquiry, Heartfulness, and somatic approaches. The work is led by what you bring — and by what arises.


Heartfulness Meditation
3 sessions · Introduction · Online
A gentle introduction to one of the most distinctive meditation traditions of our time. Over three sessions, you'll discover the Heartfulness practices — meditation, cleaning, and connection to the heart — and experience what makes this approach unlike any other: the subtle transmission that supports inner transformation from the inside out.


Custom Programs
For organizations & groups
When the need is specific, the program is built to match. Retreats, workshops, and keynotes designed around your team's culture, moment, and goals — integrating awareness, emotional intelligence, and conscious leadership in a way that is coherent, embodied, and lasting.
What sets this work apart is how it moves people: through poetry, music, storytelling, and social arts — because real transformation happens when the whole person is invited in.
