Gifted World Experience 2025
Beyond Walls
Expanding the Edges of the Gifted Experience
Porto, Portugal August 2 - 6, 2025
Unite. Challenge. Create.
What Can I Expect at GWE?
Neurodivergence in action - not in theory.
Intellectual challenge - not for competition, but for growth.
Carefully crafted experiences designed to unlock new ways of sensing, thinking, and being.
Rest and resonance - with people who “get” you, often without a word.
In the silence between insights.
In shared laughter over late-night conversations.
In creative tension and collaborative dreaming.
GWE III — Breaking Walls. Breaking Rules. Opening Minds.
August 2–6, 2025 — Porto, Portugal
GWE III is not a conference.
It’s a retreat for like-minded people — those who think deeply, feel intensely, and care about where our field and world are headed.
This isn’t about agendas, lectures, or polished presentations.
It’s about showing up as you are — with your curiosity, your courage, and your raw, unfiltered thoughts.
We’re breaking down walls — between disciplines, between individuals, between how we’ve always done things and how we might do them next.
We’re gathering not to perform, but to connect. Not to follow structure, but to trust flow.
In the soulful setting of Porto, Portugal, we’ll step into a shared space of presence — where ideas breathe, questions matter, and nothing needs to be rehearsed to have value.
We call it rest.
Not the kind that numbs, but the kind that reawakens — a pause that stirs imagination, invites deep thinking, and reconnects us with purpose.
GWE is about the present moment.
Not reciting the past. Not predicting the future.
But being together, here and now, to sense what’s shifting - and to help shape what comes next.
No walls. No rules. Just real time, real people, and the kind of conversations that only happen when we leave the script behind.
If you’re seeking clarity, connection, and space to think differently — you belong here.
Let’s gather, reflect, and create — together.
GWE began its journey on October 24-26, 2023 in Athens, Greece.
Diving into the theme “Chiaroscuro: The Inner World of the Gifted,” GWE 2023 explored the questions:
“Who are gifted individuals truly? What are the lived effects of asynchrony? How do gifted individuals negotiate their existence? How do they expereince their inner world; their personal relationships, interests, and activities as distinct from their public and professional life?”
