SEPTEMBER EUROPEAN LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES ARE COMING


We are in Ikaria from September 8-14 and Sardinia from September 16-22. Click the links for all the details. 


Today we’re talking about breaking the so-called "rules" of sleep and discovering true fulfillment through social connection, laughter, and a more fluid lifestyle. 


Drawing insights from almost a decade of travelling to the Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia, we explore why happiness and longevity often come from embracing flexibility, meaningful relationships, and letting go of rigid routines — even if it means sacrificing a perfect sleep score.
