An IRL gathering for the ones who’ve built lives too big to fit into a spreadsheet — and are ready to gather like it.
THE LINK UP | PORTUGAL 2026
let's go
A gathering for the creative souls who've been building meaningful connections behind screens — and are ready to bring them into three dimensions.
You didn't trade your 9-5 life for your business just to spend your days half-crying into your seventh oat flat white, voice-noting your internet besties from another coffee shop with bad lighting.
You didn’t build a business that bends with you just to keep bumping up against the same digital walls — Zoom fatigue, voice message convos that span four time zones, and “we should totally meet IRL one day's that never quite happen.
The Link Up is what happens when that day finally does.
You chose this life for the texture. The feeling. The motion.
The electric click of real connection. The friendships built over shared client meltdowns.
The kind of community, creativity and freedom that can't be scheduled — but is never forgotten.
That’s what The Link Up is.
Let’s be SO real.
You didn’t choose this life to go it alone.
i'm in
A gathering for the ones who’ve voice-noted through heartbreak, burnouts, pivots, rebirths — and now get to be in the same room for the celebration part..
There’s no personal growth checklist.
No identity breakthrough agenda.
Just a group of humans committed to living the lives they’ve built — in full, messy, vivid colour. Together.
The Link Up is categorically not a business retreat. Or “a reset”. It’s definitely not a transformation container.
Just the most joyful, grounded, unhinged, sun-soaked celebration of everything you’ve been becoming — held in a place where no one’s asking you to explain how you got here.
You did. And you deserve to enjoy it.
This is a long-overdue linkup for the ones who’ve been cheering each other on from the comment section.
Each day unfolds with intention, without expectation. From our welcome dinner where you'll instantly feel like you're exactly where you belong, to our guided connection sessions where seeing and being seen happens naturally, to barefoot dancing to a live DJ set by the pool—this is a space that supports your nervous system instead of hijacking it.
You’ll wake up slow, sun filtering through gauzy curtains, coffee already brewing somewhere in the kitchen. No alarm. No Slack pings. Just you, your journal, your breath, and maybe a body still stretched from yesterday’s ocean swim.
Nights arrive soft and then spiral into sparkle. Dresses. Candles. A bottle of something shared between too many hands to count. The playlist changes and suddenly someone’s barefoot on a table. Everyone follows. You dance like it’s the only language you’ve ever spoken.
There’s no strict itinerary, but intentional connection. No pressure to open up. No expectation to be “on.” But somehow… you find yourself opening anyway. Saying the thing you’ve never said aloud. Being witnessed by the people who really see you — not the you from your highlight reel. The you you’re still learning to love. And they love them already.
let's link up
But I gave it one anyway.
The Link Up.
Because that’s what it is.
Not a retreat.
Not a strategy session.
Just a long-overdue link-up with the friends you were meant to do life beside. A portal you step through, dropping expectations at the door. A space where you don't need to optimize, strategize, or even explain yourself.
No metrics. No optics. No goal-setting sessions. Just real-time, real-body, real-world connection that reminds you why you chose this life in the first place.
It’s the kind of gathering that doesn’t need a name.
BRB, TELLING THE GROUP CHAT
Because this kind of life, building businesses, can be disorienting. Even when it’s beautiful.
Because long-distance friendships can only take you so far before you need arms around your shoulders, eyes that see you, and laughter that doesn’t glitch through a screen. Because you’ve done the brave thing — you’ve leapt.
And now you’re ready for what happens after:
A life built on depth.
A business shaped by truth.
A community grounded in realness, not resonance-based marketing.
Why now?
Why this?
No panels. No pitches. No pressure to be "on."
No goal-oriented experiences masquerading as friendship.
Just the kind of space where your nervous system exhales before your suitcase hits the floor. Where there's fairy dust in the air. Where you'll walk away thinking "WTF just happened?!" in the best possible way.
Where you remember what it feels like to arrive — not just log in.
This isn’t a brand activation. It’s a soul re-entry.
- 4 days in a beautiful rustic villa
- Steps away from the sea and a quaint Portuguese town
- Curated to support rest, reconnection, and realignment
- Equal parts "let's go for a swim" and "I didn't know I needed this conversation until now"
- Long table dinners with candles melting down and glasses clinking
- Afternoons by the pool with a DJ setting the perfect vibe
- Nourished with Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian meals prepared by our private chef
- Built around presence, not performance
- Made for the ones who want to step through a portal and leave their bags at the door
It's the physical meeting place for your online orbit. It's what happens when the friends in your DMs become your dinner party. It's where we blur the line between strangers and soulmates over olives and open bottles.

You’ve been building a life you love — but miss having people to live it with.
You’re not looking for another retreat with a logo.
You’re looking for a soul family.
People who speak your language, not just your industry.
You want your next business decision to be shaped not by a spreadsheet — but by a sunrise conversation with someone who gets it.
This is for you if…
I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU
I’ve met some of my favourite people across borders, time zones, and Wi-Fi glitches. But at a certain point, connection needs a body. Presence. A moment where we’re not just texting through our breakthroughs but witnessing them together.
A space to remember.
Who we are.
Why we chose this.
And what’s possible when people gather — not to perform, but to be.
