DEEP U

Awareness-Based Human Flourishing
An experiential retreat that is carefully designed to help you become more aware, aligned and to manifest your whole Self. It is a safe space to stop, go deep inside yourself, discover your higher purpose and to flourish by manifesting it.
A transforming experience to open the mind, the heart and the will, founded on cutting-edge awareness-based technologies created by some of the world’s greatest specialists in the fields of Mindfulness, Heartfulness, Presencing, Social Presencing Theater and Giftivism.

A framework for learning, innovating, leading, and profound systems change. Theory U is the framework that shapes the entire Deep U program and guides participants during its three main phases: “observe, observe, observe”, “retreat & reflect” and “act in an instant”.
Since the first moment, participants are invited to be fully aware of their inner experience and what surrounds them, with an attitude of kindness and curiosity. Several practices done during the program also allow to anchor that presence.
Heartfulness is the “invisible part” that “fuels” the whole program, connecting people to the Source. The participants are introduced to Heartfulness meditation through three initial sittings and also learn complementary techniques like Relaxation and Cleaning.
A social technology that uses body postures and movement to access intuition and awareness that make visible deeper layers of interaction within a system. SPT brings the intelligence of the body and the social body into the dialogue.
Deep U is founded on Gift Economy principles. It appeals to decision-making based on trust, sustainability and multiple forms of capital (e.g. money, time, etc.). The price of the program is defined by each participant and each edition is supported by the Deep U alumni.
