The Experience
A creative retreat for florists. More than a course, a journey that transforms you: training, travel and time together in a unique setting.
The Xperience 2028
Savia Bruta Experience is an immersive experience that brings together training, travel and time together in a unique setting. Each year, a single edition in a carefully chosen destination, where the place is not just the backdrop of the course: it is a fundamental part of the creative process.
Over five days we learn new floral design techniques with our team and local artists, and explore art, photography, communication and entrepreneurship. A space to disconnect from routine, connect with other professionals and discover new sources of inspiration.
Five days, five chapters
An example of the level of The Experience: the programme of our first edition at the Pestana Palace Lisboa, a 19th-century palace listed as a National Monument.
Arrival and welcome
Check-in at the Pestana Palace, welcome meeting with the team and participants, and a tour of the venue.
Creativity and concept development
Talk on the creative process and floristry, development of an individual floral project, tutorials and group sharing.
Floral design and photography
A centrepiece inspired by the palace's architecture, a talk on photography for floral design and a professional photo session.
Collaboration and teamwork
Large-scale group projects and installation, art direction, a final photo session and a farewell dinner with live fado.
Floral Lisbon Optional · included
A day devoted to Lisbon's relationship with flowers and gardens. A relaxed, inspiring finale among the city's green spaces.
