SYNERGY IMMERSIONS 2025
Extend your time in Sardinia with a post-event
three-day integrative retreat
The Three-Day Synergy Immersions Retreat is the perfect post-event opportunity for attendees to integrate their insights, share experiences and get a feel for blue zone living. Set in the mountainous “heart of Sardinia” from 11–14th October, the retreat offers a spacious environment for reflection, integration and restoration. Hosted at the iconic Su Gologone Hotel, the programme blends guided facilitation, time in nature, Blue Zones principles and community spirit.
Led by expert facilitators Ron Hill, Leah Lovelight Michael and guest Celine Vandam of Blue Zones, the experience fosters both personal and professional growth. Participants will have the chance to deepen the connections formed during Synergy, refine their purpose and explore how blue zone wisdom can enrich their offerings. Each day follows a carefully curated rhythm of movement, reflection, experiential learning and nourishing meals.
The goal is to turn inspiration into tangible action by helping attendees integrate their growth, align with longevity principles and return home with clarity, tools and renewed purpose - personally and professionally. The all-inclusive package features luxurious accommodation, meals, wellness facilities and coaching.
