A-Fest

"A-Fest has invited me into a deeper, more intimate relationship with my partner"

It was a Saturday morning when my fiancé asked if I would be interested in attending A-Fest with her. I didn’t know much about it, but I was familiar with Mindvalley and the quality of their programs. Life was good, and I had been in the process of refocusing my business. I didn’t feel like I needed to invest in any new training. Yet, even from this comfortable place, it was clear that my soul craved more—more connection with highly conscious leaders, more abundance, and a deeper intimacy in my partnership.
 When I saw the theme, “Soul and Seduction: The Intersection of Intimacy and Spirituality,” it hit a nerve. A mix of fear, curiosity, and excitement bubbled up, but mostly, it was fear. I recognized this fear as an invitation, an edge to explore. This was EXACTLY what I had been calling in. The answer was clear: “Yes.” 
The opportunity to connect with dynamic leaders and trailblazers captured my interest the most. It wasn’t about networking for business—although that can be a side effect—it was about authentic, heart-centered human connection. My intention for this event was to simply “show up,” “be seen,” and be radically vulnerable and open to others and new experiences. This happened beyond my wildest expectations. 
On the first day, my partner and I volunteered in a workshop. What happened in the next five minutes had a profound impact on me and deepened our relationship in ways I never anticipated. In those raw and vulnerable moments, a transformation occurred, and I felt renewed with a clear sense of direction and self-awareness. I now know exactly what I need, and what my partner desires from me. All of that literally happened in 5 minutes! 
My favorite part, by far, was the people. The diversity of backgrounds, intentions, geography, and passions brought an electrifying energy to the group. Amidst all this diversity, the common thread was our shared human experience and desire for meaningful connections. There were no pretenses and very little ego—just an authentic desire to lift one another up. To me, that was the true magic of A-Fest. 
There is nothing else on the planet that brings together people, spirituality, innovation, advancement, and entrepreneurship with such beauty, safety, and enthusiasm.
 A-Fest has invited me into a deeper, more intimate relationship with my partner. My purpose and path are clear, and I’m walking more confidently into business. Within the first week of returning home, several significant business ventures and opportunities have presented themselves. Most of all, my passion has returned, in every area of life. 
This event exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The staff, workshops, and location were perfectly aligned and powerful. I took away many things, but here are the top three:
 • The friendships I established were the best part. There are several people who will be lifelong friends.
 • If it’s uncomfortable, uncertain, or challenging—do it! Growth, expansion, and a new perspective are waiting on the other side.
 • A-Fest is a place of deep connection, vast diversity, and unlimited energy—and it’s something we can all create in our own communities.
 • 
 After A-Fest, any doubts or fears have been replaced with a renewed sense of awe and passion. The self-assurance is liberating, and I feel deeply empowered. There’s no going back to the old ways. I’m excited to continue nurturing the friendships I made, and each day, life feels brighter and fuller.
