Where leaders go to become better leaders

On a quiet stretch of the Turkish coast, facing the hypnotic blue of the Aegean Sea, something happens every spring. It’s not a summit. It’s not a conference. It’s a gathering. A pause. A moment that many people —some with huge responsibilities— seek out to stop and remember who they are beyond what they do.

It’s called Harvest Kaplankaya, and though it welcomes CEOs, scientists, thinkers, and artists, its true essence lies not in the names, but in the questions: How can we live better? What does it mean to take care? How do we lead without losing ourselves along the way?

To this place, where science and soul meet, joins for the first time SHA —renowned for redefining integrative health. Its presence is not an act of expansion, but of alignment. “Harvest Kaplankaya represents exactly what we stand for,” says Alejandro Bataller, Vice President and Co-Founder of SHA. “It’s not just about healing—it’s about meaning. Not just adding years to life but adding life to your years.”

Over the course of four days, SHA will share what it has been perfecting for more than 15 years: a way of understanding well-being that fuses precision medicine, ancestral therapies, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and a profoundly human approach. Through personalized consultations and intimate sessions with its experts, guests won’t walk away with a prescription, but with a compass.

Dr. Mariel Silva, Medical Director of SHA Spain, puts it simply: “Listening to the body is an act of wisdom. But doing it when you’re open, present, outside the noise… that’s something else. That’s transformation.”

Professor Bruno Ribeiro, Head of SHA’s Cognitive Unit, adds: “Sometimes all it takes is clearing the mind to remember what truly matters. In a place like Harvest Kaplankaya, urgency gives way to what’s essential.”

That includes emotional and energetic health too. Philippa Harvey, Head of Holistic Health at SHA, explains: “We don’t treat symptoms. We listen to signals. And in safe, beautiful spaces like this, reconnection happens naturally. It’s like coming home.”

SHA and Harvest Kaplankaya share more than a program—they share a vision. A version of success no longer measured by speed, but by direction. A leadership that doesn’t need to shout, but to feel. And a certainty: that the true luxury of our time is not accumulation, but alignment.

Guests may return to their cities, their calendars, their decisions. But something from Harvest Kaplankaya—a word, a silence, a moment of inward clarity—will return with them. Because sometimes, to lead is not to move forward. It’s to pause.
