THE RIVER GRILLE, Bristol - Old City
Why the name ‘Wake The Tiger’?
The name was inspired by the book ‘Waking The Tiger’ by Peter Levine, which explores themes of trauma and transformation. It is about awakening that fierce, powerful part within ourselves to drive change. The vision behind it is beautifully symbolic; on one side, a strong and fierce animal, and on the other, a playful, cuddly cub. Wake The Tiger represents the balance between these two – fierce yet playful, powerful yet approachable.
