Brand Story
Founder Thomas Van Berckel went through seven years of severe mental & physical health challenges. As his life crumbled, his journey of suffering became his teacher, learning many valuable lessons. In facing adversity & suffering, he embodied the way of the hero cultivating courage, resilience & faith. The path he walked helped him see the huge benefits for growth & learning in life’s challenges, transforming his view of suffering. On his way, Thomas worked with many therapists, practitioners & teachers.
Navigating the self development path can be confusing & challenging. Awake brings all these elements together in one space, helping people explore different options & discover the answers they are searching for.
Our vision is to change how people perceive adversity and the self development journey. We do this by taking fresh, innovative approaches to existing research based wisdom, in a welcoming, non judgemental and fun way. We’re all experiencing different challenges, so why not talk about it, learn about it and ultimately solve it.
