Blooming Women
A Spring Experience in celebration of Women
Sharon Portal and VNTR Club invite you to Blooming Women - a private gathering celebrating women of presence, depth, and influence.
March 18, 2026
Purpose of the Event
Blooming Women is a special gathering created to celebrate Women, creativity, and meaningful connections within the international community living in Portugal.

Through a curated series of experiences, conversations, and presentations, the day introduces guests to different fields of creativity, craftsmanship, wellbeing, and entrepreneurship.

The intention behind the event is simple: to create a space where women can meet, exchange ideas, discover new perspectives, and support one another as we grow, create, and build meaningful lives here in Portugal.

VNTR House opens its doors for this occasion to host a day that encourages dialogue, collaboration, and mutual inspiration among women from diverse backgrounds.

At its heart, Blooming Women is about connection, appreciation, and the quiet strength that emerges when women come together.
