"One impulse decision changed my life"

Four years ago I was lying on the beach flicking through Facebook when I saw a post from Vishen Lakhiani asking if anyone wanted to meet him in Barcelona that evening since his family was arriving the next day and he was free.
I didn’t think about it twice.
I jumped up, got dressed and went on my way. ??‍♀️??‍♀️
I didn’t know much about him or Mindvalley then, but I had a gut feeling I couldn’t miss this opportunity to find out more. CURIOSITY rules my life. ?
A couple of hours later we were enjoying the most interesting and intense conversations with Vishen and another couple of lucky guys that turned up like me.
Little did I know I was going to find my tribe at Mindvalley University Barcelona a year later. I didn’t even know I was looking for one!!!
My life was never going to be the same again.
Barcelona was exceptional, Tallinn was amazing and Pula was incredible.
Not only because they’re beautiful cities, or because of the interesting teachers and workshops at MVU, but because of the deep-hearted CONNECTION with these wonderful souls.
Back home I’m looking at these pictures and I can only feel forever GRATEFUL to all you beautiful crazy pioneers that want to change the world and make it a place of unity and love ??? ???
I can’t imagine not having you in my life. 
It paid off to listen to my soul ....

I just got off stage at Mindvalley, and honestly, it should be called Mind Blowing because of the amount of energy in the room, the fun in the room, and the great questions.As a speaker, the worst thing is when the audience is a little bit flat and you've got to work hard. This was the co...

"I really enjoyed some of the courses, the speakers and the events I've been to so far"

Mindvalley University to me has been really fun. You know, I just came from my very first A-Fest in Jordan. So I had an idea in terms of what to expect from the speakers and the events. This event is slightly different- it is of a broader scale, meeting so many different people from diffe...
