Important Information
Vasco Gaspar has worked with over 30,000 people across 25+ countries—from startup founders navigating uncertainty to leaders at organizations like SAP, Santander, and the United Nations, as well as individuals and communities—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, and the intuition that arises when we slow down enough to listen.
Through immersive retreats, contemplative sessions, and individual deep dives, Vasco weaves together awareness practices (Mindfulness, Presencing, Heartfulness), trauma-informed methods (IFS, Compassionate Inquiry), and somatic and artistic approaches (Social Presencing Theater, movement, poetry).
Trained with pioneers such as Gabor Maté, Otto Scharmer, Richard Schwartz, Kamlesh D. Patel, and Arawana Hayashi, he holds a Psychology degree from the University of Coimbra and serves as faculty at both the Presencing Institute and Heartfulness Institute.
At the heart of his work is Awareness-Based Human Flourishing—a way of facilitating that honors human complexity while guiding people toward their essential, healing simplicity.
