A joyful journey of self-discovery towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Walking with Joao was a joyful journey of self-discovery towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. We all have doubts about our choices, both personal and professional. The mentorship shows we also have the answers. Awareness and purpose help you focus your energy on what really makes a difference. The ideal future is at our reach and Joao helps build the compass.

“This program was amazing, it mixes up two things I love; walking in nature and talking about life.”

It was really an incredible experience to go through all those 8 steps with Nuno, which guided me in a brilliant way. When I started the program I was in between jobs, moving from one that didn't make me happy to one I always wanted. Nuno helped me to slow down, analyze my past, and showed me the way to re-design my future in a more structured and smarter way.

Before the intensity, before the ideas, before the brilliance of Synergy The Retreat Show 2026 in Croacia, we invite a small and carefully curated group to do something radically simple: slow down. João Perre Viana, founder of Walking Mentorship, alongside Partner Nuno Santos Fernandes, invite you to join us on a conscious walking journey near the event location, a passage designed to create the inner conditions to arrive truly present, grounded, and focused for Synergy The Retreat Show. Whether you're exploring new paths, supporting someone who is, or drawn to the outdoors and nature, it is not just a walk. It is a threshold, a preparation.
