We’ve carefully selected experiences founded on cutting-edge awareness-based technologies, trauma-based approaches, and heart-rooted practices developed by internationally renowned institutions, teachers, and thought leaders.
Created by Prof Otto Scharmer from MIT, it is a awareness-based framework of leadership, innovation and change for understanding current reality and exploring emerging future possibilities—as an individual and as a group.
Mindfulness is a capacity all humans beings possess, and that can be cultivated, for being aware and awake rather than operating unconsciously. Being mindful helps you come off auto-pilot and shift up a gear, bringing wisdom and choice to all areas of your life.
A practical, innovative and secular approach that allow us to tune into our hearts and learn to be centered in ourselves. By strengthening that connection we cultivate an inner knowing that wisely directs and guides us to become who we’re meant to be.
It is a social technology developed by Arawana Hayashi that uses simple body postures and movements to make visible both current reality, and the deeper – often invisible – state of interactions in an individual or group systems and some leverage points for creating profound change towards greater health.
A powerfully transformative model of psychotherapy that states that the mind is comprised of multiple inner parts that contain valuable qualities that our core Self knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole.
A neuroscientific and psychological approach to regulate emotions and social connection. It focuses on simple and practical adaptive behaviors that allow to regulate our nervous system, making us feel adapted, connected and secure.
A psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that run our lives and how to liberate ourselves from them.
Deep U offers experiential programs to help you be more aware, more aligned with your Essence, and to flourish.

Social Presencing Theater (SPT) is an embodiment methodology developed within the framework of Theory U and the Presencing Institute, led by Arawana Hayashi and Otto Scharmer. This innovative approach allows us to experience and understand the current reality of a system—whether individual or collective—while opening pathways to emerging futures. Through simple movements and practices of presence, SPT makes visible the inner dynamics of systems and reveals their sources of innate wisdom and sanity, helping us co-create a more conscious and sustainable reality.

Deep U has been deeply inspired by Giftivism (also known as Gift Ecology). As such, in all our offers you will see it being applied, either offering several price ranges, inviting you to pay in any form of capital that you have an abundance of, or simply inviting you to ask your heart the right amount to pay.
Any time that you pay more than the recommended amount, you’ll be directly supporting those who can’t afford as much, allowing us to make our events sustainable and inclusive.
We believe that every transaction can become an act of service and love for others and the planet and we hope that you also want to be part of this adventure.
Vasco is an international author, speaker and facilitator that curates science-based methodologies to create safe spaces for people to manifest their true potential.
See what people that have participated at the retreat have to say about this unique and deep experience.
It was one of the strongest experiences of my life, and I am 73 years old.
Jean-Jacques M.
A pause. A journey inward. A space to feel and listen to the ourselves. The discovery or rediscovery of a direction and the obstacles on that path.
Ana C.
Deep U was life changing. The program design and facilitation brought awareness to patterns of stuckness and practices to move through those patterns with ease. I feel at peace and more connected as a result of the program.
Abri H.
It was wonderful, very enriching in consciousness and clarity of who we are, where we are and where we are heading, and how we want to go for it.
Anabela G.
An experience that connects you with your true wisdom, essence and humanity. A reconnection with your true potential.
Silvia D.
It was 3 days of interior renewal and strengthening of long forgotten connections. Body, soul and heart. Fabulous time spent on learning, sharing and giving.
Ana A.
A moment where you stop, reflect and internalize. Because there is a purpose in each one of us and finding out what it is helps us give the best of ourselves, to others, to the world.
Raquel C.
A really well-designed program where every exercise allows, almost without you noticing it, to live a process of total opening of your being, and that surprises us at the end by what was achieved and by the door of the future that opens up.
Jorge A.
It was an experience that transcended all my expectations. It brought me back Home and reinforced my hope and my capacity to accept. A living experienced with an amazing depth that bring us back to our Essence.
Ana P.
This program allowed me to become aware of important aspects of my life and to enhance the relationship with myself and others. I highly recommend it :)
Jordana C.
It is a program that has brought alignment and made me live the best part of me. It is a space of integration and connection at such a deep level that gratitude and kindness emerge on their own.
Sara S.
A deep dive into discovering what prevents you from flourishing as a human being, and a vast resource map to be able to navigate day-to-day life. The program clearly allows us to level up.
