On April 14th, Quinta dos Lobos in Sintra became a space for connection, sharing, and growth with the hosting of SINT(R)A-SE, an event dedicated to female entrepreneurship.
More than just a gathering, this was a day designed to feel, reflect, and take action — a true invitation for connection among women entrepreneurs.
Root, grow, and flourish
Surrounded by nature, the event began with a clear intention: to slow down and make space for what truly matters.
Under the theme “Root, Grow, Flourish, and Transform,” participants were guided through various dynamics that stimulated not only the mind, but also the body and emotions.
One of the most special moments was led by Carita Mechas, who created an experience focused on awakening Chi, fostering a deep connection with inner energy and the surrounding natural environment.
Meaningful networking
Here, networking took on a new meaning.
Instead of traditional introductions, each woman presented another participant. This simple gesture created more authentic, human, and memorable connections.
The result? A stronger support network built on empathy, active listening, and collaboration, essential pillars in the world of female entrepreneurship.
“Fearless Women”: a message that resonated
In the afternoon, Marta Aragão Pinto, CEO of the brand Ofélia, delivered one of the most impactful moments of the day.
Through her talk “Fearless Women,” she challenged participants to face their insecurities, embrace their voice, and claim their space, both in business and in life.
It was a moment of genuine inspiration, the kind that truly stays with you.
Slow down, listen, and feel
The event concluded with a session led by Yoganakeil, focused on active listening and conscious communication.
A simple yet powerful invitation: pause, listen, and integrate.
A sweet symbol of community
To mark the day, each participant received a jar of honey from its_abmel.
More than just a gift, it symbolized nature, sharing, and the strength that emerges when women come together.
A growing movement
SINT(R)A-SE is part of the Sintra-se movement, promoted by AESintra, which brings together women entrepreneurs from the region to share experiences, ideas, and grow collectively.
Events like this show that entrepreneurship can also be a space for support, authenticity, and collaboration.
Gratitude and what comes next
At the end of the day, one word remained: gratitude.
Gratitude for the sharing, the connections, and the energy experienced.
Because SINT(R)A-SE was not just an event, it was an experience that left a lasting impression and promises to continue inspiring many more women in Sintra.
