SINTRA SYNERGIES:

Where AI & Web3 fuel 

Personal Growth

Lead with Innovation.

Thrive in Nature.

Why Join Us in Sintra?

Five months ago, I took a bold leap and moved to Sintra, a place where innovation, creativity, and growth naturally thrive.

For years, I’ve been leading conversations around Web3 and AI, and I realized: what better way to create real transformation than by bringing you into this journey with me? This isn’t just another event. It’s a 5-day, deep dive into what’s next in Web3, AI and leadership. All while recharging in one of the most inspiring settings on earth.

This program offers:
âś… Monthly intro sessions (Feb-March-April) leading up to the retreat

âś… 4 weeks pre-event engagement (April-May) to start to build connections

âś… A 5-day immersive retreat (from May 22 till May 26, 2025) packed with hands-on learning, genuine networking and wellness practices
âś… 7 months of post-retreat support (Jun-Dec) to keep your momentum going

This is the experience I’ve envisioned for years. Now, I’m inviting you to be part of it

Grateful to have crossed paths with some absolute legends who keep raising the bar and pushing boundaries. These are the minds who've influenced the way I think, the vision I have, and the energy driving Sintra Synergies forward.

The Sintra Synergies Journey


Schedule

1. The Runway: Pre-Event Engagement (4 Weeks)

Your journey with Sintra Synergies begins well before you step foot in Portugal. Over four weeks, you’ll participate in a series of online sessions designed to build connections, align goals, and set the stage for a transformative retreat. Think of this as the “runway”—preparing you to take off fully engaged and ready.

  • Week 1: Welcome & Icebreakers. Our first group call will introduce everyone, with icebreakers to foster initial connections. You’ll also receive an overview of the retreat schedule, expectations, and goals, so we’re all aligned from the start.
  • Week 2: Personalized One-on-One Calls. Individual calls with each participant to discuss personal goals, challenges, and retreat expectations. These one-on-ones help us tailor the experience to everyone’s needs and build a sense of mutual support
  • Week 3: Collaborative Group Session. A group session centered on shared challenges and collaborative opportunities, preparing everyone to begin working together. This will include a “speed networking” session, allowing you to dive deeper into potential partnerships and understand who you resonate with.
  • Week 4: Final Touchpoints & Agenda Setting. Our last pre-retreat call will fine-tune the retreat’s objectives, strengthen rapport among participants, and set a clear agenda. By now, you’ll know who you’re excited to connect with and be fully prepared to make the most of our time together in Sintra.
