The world’s ultimate eco-friendly & spiritual
cabinet of curiosities: The Conscious Club
Available for franchising now.
The start of a conscious movement
We opened the doors on April 22 in 2015, on Earth Day. As the first carbon-neutral canal house in Amsterdam, The Conscious Club responds to a rise in global consciousness that is calling out for a more spiritual and sustainable lifestyle. Leading by example was key in the idea of creating a transformational learning and lifestyle center to awaken mind, body and spirit.
In 2017 Eneco launched a big campaign with The Conscious Club as the showcase of the new sustainable future. And with over 82 (inter)national publications in magazines, newspapers and television, The Conscious Club has proven that inner sustainability combined with environmental sustainability is not only possible, it’s beautiful.
Now we’re looking for like-minded partners from the coolest cities around the globe to join our movement for a more conscious lifestyle!
More than a spiritual center
Our love for a conscious lifestyle goes way beyond the delicious organic home-made vegetarian food in our café, the beautiful stories of our sustainable partners or the 200 amazing daily classes and 45 events we organize every month.
We believe in creating space for individual and collective transformation. Therefore we rent out our venue to some of the biggest companies in the world. We have the honor to raise spiritual and environmental consciousness to the do-ers and decision makers on this planet, encouraging them to aspire to be the best version of themselves possible.
Our unique concept has created a conscious movement of change and we are just getting started!
For franchisees, this means our concept has tremendous value not only as a spiritual center, but also as a highly transferable brand that can easily expand to new revenue streams.
The best in the business
The Conscious Club is devoted to providing an inspirational environment for transformations of the mind, body, and spirit on the individual and collective level.
From the space itself to the content of our programs, we’ve paid attention to every detail to get the highest quality out there.
As The Conscious Club, we know what we are doing when it comes to wellness and mindfulness. Enjoy unparalleled access to the best knowledge of sustainability and consciousness the world has to offer.
Lead by example in sustainability
The Conscious Club, is the showcase of the new sustainable future.
The Conscious Club is the first public climate neutral canal house in Amsterdam. This former chocolate factory is rebuild with a super high-tech sustainable climate system.
Only natural products have been used to build a sacred space. Not only a conscious design but also one with soul through the amount of antique details and items with a story.
We are the unrivaled experts in sustainability of mind, body, and soul, and we practice what we preach. We know how to transform your location to a more healthy, happy and oxygenated space so your employees can help your business thrive.
giving back to our planet
Earth Overshoot Day was on 29th of July this year. That means humans have already used up their allowance for water, soil, clean air and other resources on Earth for the whole of 2019. The date means humanity will survive on “credit” until 31 December.
A better world starts with yourself.
Therefore all of The Conscious Club’s around the world will give 1% of their sales back to the foundation Building A Better Planet.
Building A Better Planet is a foundation who builds, creates, invests in projects designed to make our planet a better place.
