WHERE TRADITION MEETS TRANSFORMATION

In the heart of Sardinia — an island of wild beauty, ancient stone villages, and sun-drenched hills — Synergy 2025 finds its perfect setting. One of the world’s blue zones, Sardinia is home to some of the longest-living people on Earth. Here, longevity is not pursued but lived — through natural daily movement, close family bonds, traditional plant-based meals and a deep sense of purpose that endures through the generations. Elders are honoured, community is central and wellness is woven into the rhythm of everyday life.

I truly believe if we can learn to live well, the rest will come.
— Laura Montesanti, Synergy Founder.

In the heart of Sardinia — an island of wild beauty, ancient stone villages, and sun-drenched hills — Synergy 2025 finds its perfect setting. One of the world’s blue zones, Sardinia is home to some of the longest-living people on Earth. Here, longevity is not pursued but lived — through natural daily movement, close family bonds, traditional plant-based meals and a deep sense of purpose that endures through the generations. Elders are honoured, community is central and wellness is woven into the rhythm of everyday life.

This year’s theme, The Role of the Arts in Healing, finds deep resonance not only in Sardinian culture but throughout the broader Italian landscape. Italy has long been a cradle of creative expression — where art, music, food, architecture, literature and craft are not separate from life, but fundamental to it. Whether in the opera houses of Milan, the frescoes of Florence, or the ceramics of Sicily, the arts across Italy serve as powerful instruments of connection, beauty, identity and well-being.

In Sardinia, this creative lifeforce is deeply embedded in daily life. From folk music and handwoven textiles to sacred festivals, culinary rituals and storytelling, the arts are more than tradition — they are medicine. It is this living thread — where creativity and culture nourish the soul — that makes Sardinia a uniquely powerful place for Synergy 2025, while echoing and drawing upon the enduring healing role of the arts found across Italy.

Rooted in the legacy of its ancient Nuragic civilisation and enriched by its mineral springs, myrtle-scented air, and crystalline coastlines, Sardinia offers not just a stunning backdrop, but a sanctuary for rest, reflection, and renewal. Its timeless wisdom continues to inspire a more harmonious, healthful way of life — something participants can fully experience through this year’s Synergy Immersions three-day post event retreat. 

Each year, Synergy brings together the global retreat and wellness community to explore wellness principles and reimagine what it means to live and lead well. In a place such as Sardinia, where tradition meets transformation, delegates will experience how ancient wisdom and modern wellness intersect — creating space for connection, collaboration and renewal.  

In addition to the depth of this island’s natural abundance, we’re honoured to welcome Blue Zones as an event sponsor this year—an aligned presence in a land that so beautifully reflects their mission to promote well-being, longevity and purpose-driven living.


Registration for the 2025 event closes 30th June. Places are limited. If you’re interested in joining the movement, contact info@theretreatshow.com for further information or register here.
