Templars Temple
May 12-18th
Portugal
A convergence of visionaries and catalysts co-creating an immersive mythology of the future.
We are about to embark on a quest outside of time. Between May 12th - 18th in Portugal, we will welcome four teams to create a journey of a lifetime together. We will immerse ourselves into the best story we can collectively imagine for ourselves and our planet.
Our mission is to tell the greatest story never told.
We invite you to embark on a journey with us, exploring the teachings of the Knights Templars to our culture and the future. We emberk on a timeless quest from the ancient shores of Cascais into the mystical lands of Sintra and we crescendo in the Capital for the Templars, in the ancient future Tomar. This adventure will bring us into a shared vision informed by wisdom of the past.
Drawing inspiration from small, present-day experiences, we aim to transport ourselves into the future—living, speaking, and feeling as if the visions, solutions, and projects we envision have already become reality.
During this immersive journey, our collective focus will be on reverse engineering solutions from a future perspective. This approach has been proven to be highly effective, offering an alternative to incremental progress from our current challenges while sidestepping the complexities of our present meta-crisis.
