 Our Special Engagements

Educational Experiences, Retreats and Events…

Our special engagements are designed and guided by the TTC team, TTC Accredited Transformers, and other special guests, often recognized as a shining star example of transformative experience design and orchestration. They are meant to be a place for us to come together in the spirit of personal growth, community-building, and professional development. There is nothing quite like observing other practitioners in their element, giving us a unique and powerful space to connect, reflect, co-create, and transcend.

Our events are wonderful opportunities for us to connect as a community, whether that be a reception in a small village or a city, a gathering at a tourism conference, or other special place to see and celebrate each other and the collective movement we’re shepherding.

Transformative Walk on the Costa Vincentina, Portugal

The fisherman’s trail is probably one of the best coastal trails in the world. Always by the sea, follow the local paths to access the beaches and fishing grounds. It is a single track walkable only on foot, along the cliffs, with lots of sand and therefore more demanding from the physical point of view. A challenge to permanent contact with the wind of the sea, the rudeness of the coastal landscape, and the presence of a wild and persistent nature.

Revise your current moment in life, clarify your ideal future, align your purpose with your vision, and create an action plan. Meet like-minded people on the same path of self-development.

Dates: October dates coming soon

Location: Costa Vincentina, Portugal

Facilitator(s): Joao Perre-Viana and Nuno Santos-Fernandes of Walking Mentorship, a TTC-accredited Transformer

Language: Primary English, Secondary Portuguese

TTC Host: Jake Haupert

Wisdom Retreat for New Tourism

Through rigorously designed frameworks, techniques, and practices, we’re lighting a new path for tourism. With that, we are excited to be hosting this annual gathering of innovators who believe that travel is our most powerful lever of change, capable of shifting the collective consciousness of humankind to regenerate and thrive.

This retreat and think-tank is intentionally designed as a transformative experience, catalyzing personal growth, professional development, and human connection into powerful industry visioning and strategizing.

In an era when knowledge is increasingly commoditized, wisdom shines as an invaluable treasure—the key to unlocking true essence and transforming life experiences into profound compassion and insight. Together, we will delve into wisdom teachings to uncover insights to enlighten and reignite our shared values and aspirations.
