A-Fest

"Now I have a lot of inspiration to start a business and am already brainstorming ideas with my partner"

Our story as a couple. My partner felt a lot of resonance with this event. He said he needed to be there and invited me to join him. Initially, I was very fearful for many reasons, but I decided to follow my highest excitement and go with him. When we arrived at the registration, I heard from other participants how powerful this event was and how it changed their lives. People who stayed in a line told me it was their 10th and 11th A-Fest and that they had found their best friends, business partners, and soul mates here. I was choked and excited!! 
I couldn't completely comprehend how a single 4-day event could be life-changing until I reached the last day of A-Fest 2025. 
Suddenly, on the last day at Regan's Manifestation workshop, all the dots connected; I could zoom out and see how small my worldview was, how close-minded I was before. For instance, I treated money as a finite resource, and although I always felt comfortable in my adult life, I treated it with scarcity and fear. 

Before the A-Fest, I also rejected a big part of my sexual energy because I felt so much blame and guilt around this topic. I couldn't freely connect to my body and receive pleasure outside the yoga mat. Before this event, I used to look back into the past, focusing my energy on the "wrong decisions" and missed opportunities. Although I knew the right thing was to live in the present and look for new opportunities, I couldn't change my focus because part of me was so much attached to the old stories. 

After the A-Fest (it's already been a week), I feel a significant shift in my vision and energy. Now I have a lot of inspiration to start a business and am already brainstorming ideas with my partner. My vision became more evident; I could finally allow myself to wish for BIG things without fueling them with guilt but with EXCITEMENT instead. I already see a lot of changes in my partner's business - all of them feel very exciting and aligned with our highest vision. In terms of the program, I got inspired by the speakers, especially Miki, Layla, Regan, and Vishen. With their authenticity and inner strength, these people touched my heart and showed how one person's journey can change the world. 
During this A-Fest, I created one of the best memories of my life. Next time, we will be back and invite our friends/ family to join us. More is yet to come :)
