"In just four days, I experienced an energetic healing that was so profound"

Before attending A-Fest, my day-to-day life was a constant cycle of sales, stress, and hustle. As a real estate entrepreneur in Toronto, my world revolved around closing deals, managing clients, and navigating the high-pressure environment that comes with this industry. I thrived on it for a long time, but there was always this underlying sense of being in a perpetual "fight or flight" mode. No matter how successful I became, it felt like I was on a treadmill, moving fast but not truly getting anywhere deeper. Something was missing. 
Then, I found myself at A-Fest—and everything shifted. 
In just four days, I experienced an energetic healing that was so profound, it realigned me with a deeper sense of purpose that I had long forgotten. Surrounded by some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met, the environment was nothing like the high-stakes, transactional world I had been immersed in. The access to intimate knowledge, transformative ideas, and heart-centered connection was like nothing I’d experienced before. It wasn't just an event; it was a journey into my own soul. 
A-Fest gave me the clarity and insight to fill the void that had been nagging at me for so long. My real estate business, which I’ve been fortunate to automate, no longer feels like the be-all and end-all of my identity. Instead, I now have the freedom and drive to pursue something far more aligned with my true purpose. The seeds planted during this retreat have set the wheels in motion for me to follow my soul’s nudge toward a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life. 
I needed to wait sometime after A-Fest to write this, as I've been absorbing how incredible these shifts have been for me. Only now am I able to put it into words. This experience has moved me beyond words, and I’m deeply grateful for the transformation it has sparked within me. A-Fest has redefined how I view success—no longer just measured in sales and achievements but in alignment, connection, and purpose.
