Dear Friend,

Paradiso 2025 is over. It left an impression. It opened minds. It let us forget the world outside. Hence this weekly newsletter comes a little late ;)

Below is a glimpse of the many conversation I had at Paradiso:

There are places that sell creativity. The ones where innovation is a slide deck, inspiration is a sound bite, and connection is measured in followers.

Then there are places that ignite creativity. The ones that pull you so far out of your routine that your brain has no choice but to rewire itself. The ones where ideas aren’t born in boardrooms but in the unexpected—a dinner table under the stars, a rooftop conversation, a jump into the unknown.

That’s Paradiso.

It wasn’t supposed to happen.

And yet, it couldn’t not happen.

Because something extraordinary happens when you remove the pressure to perform. When you create without an audience. When you let the work become something deeper than a project—a confrontation, a surrender, a truth.

Here, limitations disappear after talking.

You arrive with one version of yourself. You leave with another.

And in between? A mess. A breakthrough. A transformation.

A designer once said: “If you want to be happy, have a good meal. If you want to be truly happy, create something.”

That’s the essence of Paradiso. It’s not a retreat. It’s a return—to yourself, to your instincts, to the work that actually matters.

And that’s why we’d love to have you here.

Thanks for all the beautiful conversations, your energy and the lasting memories.

It couldn’t have happened without you!

Let’s create; let’s live.
