SYNERGY IMMERSIONS 2025
Extend your Synergy Experience in Sardinia, with a pre-event one-day cultural experience and / or post-event three-day integrative retreat
The Synergy Immersions wrap around Synergy - The Retreat Show to enrich your experience during your time in Sardinia.
The One-Day Immersion on 7th October 2025 invites participants to ease into the Synergy experience with intention. Set in a traditional Sardinian village, guests will craft ravioli with local “mamas,” create ceramics with a local artisan and conclude the day with a reflective yoga session. With transfers, lunch and a complimentary Manduka yoga rug included, it’s a cultural and grounding prelude to the main Synergy event.
Following the main Synergy gathering, our Three-Day Immersion takes place from 11th–14th October 2025, offering a post-event retreat designed for deep personal and professional integration. Held at the stunning Su Gologone Hotel in the mountainous “heart of Sardinia”, take time to reflect on your Synergy experience through guided facilitation, blue zone-inspired practices, time in nature and creative workshops. Led by expert facilitators Ron Hill, Leah Michael and Blue Zones guest facilitator Celine Vadam, the programme balances structured reflection with restorative space and Blue Zones principles, providing the perfect space to process your Synergy journey and gain clarity on your next steps. It’s an opportunity to bond with fellow attendees in a more intimate setting, deepening both personal and professional growth.
Together, these experiences form a powerful arc - beginning with cultural grounding, peaking with Synergy - The Retreat Show and concluding with a nourishing and integrative retreat. The full journey is crafted to help participants embody their transformation and return home aligned, inspired and equipped to elevate their business.
