This year’s theme taps into how art, creativity and connection can transform not only the experiences we curate, but also ourselves
– Laura Montesanti, founder and managing director, Synergy
Set amidst Sardinia’s wild beauty and sun-drenched hills, Synergy – The Retreat Show is in one of the world’s blue zones for its 2025 edition.

Wellness is a way of life in this ancient land of longevity, where health is cultivated through natural daily movement, close-knit communities, plant-based meals and a deep sense of purpose passed on through the generations. Elders are revered, tradition is alive and wellness is woven into everyday rhythms.

This year’s theme – The Role of the Arts in Healing – resonates powerfully in Italy, where creativity is both part of its cultural heritage and a healing practice.

From traditional music and handwoven textiles, to poetry and sacred festivals – artistic expression is medicine for the soul. It nurtures emotional, spiritual and communal well-being. This living thread of creativity and culture makes Sardinia an extraordinary setting for transformation.

Rooted in the legacy of its Nuragic civilisation and enriched by mineral springs, myrtle-scented air and clear coastlines, Sardinia offers more than beauty: it offers a sanctuary. Participants can experience this wisdom through Synergy Immersions, a one-day or three-day retreat, wrapping around the main event. It offers space for personal and professional transformation.

Each year, Synergy unites the global travel and wellness community to explore what it means to live and lead well. In Sardinia, where ancient wisdom meets modern practice, delegates will reconnect with values that sustain us, such as community, creativity and purpose.

We’re also proud to welcome Blue Zones as an event sponsor this year – an aligned partner in a land that exemplifies longevity, health and a purpose-driven life.

Laura Montesanti, founder and managing director, Synergy – The Retreat Show, said: “I’m honoured to welcome you to my home country of Italy for Synergy 2025, held in the soulful landscape of Sardinia.

"This year’s theme taps into how art, creativity and connection can transform not only the experiences we curate, but also ourselves," added Montesanti. "As someone whose own healing and transformation has been deeply shaped by creative expression and with my own Italian heritage, I’m especially excited to share this journey with you!”

Kelly Alexander, director of sales and marketing, Vikasa, said: “Synergy was a very special event, orchestrated ever so carefully to offer a truly enjoyable, rewarding and beneficial four days of talks, meetings, workshops and special events. I left feeling inspired, reconnected and enlivened with new ideas, connections and a heightened sense of gratitude and commitment to what we offer as a business. I couldn't recommend Synergy highly enough.”
