You, me, and the worldâs greatest minds together for four days in paradise.
If you are having trouble viewing this email, [click here.]( [Mindvalley Logo]( In 2010, long before Mindvalley was a thing, I was living in Malaysia. And I was going through a period in my life where I felt uninspired and lonely.  In the town I lived in, there werenât many inspiring people that could keep me motivated.  I wasnât meeting entrepreneurs that could fill my head with new ideas and possibilities.  So I decided to try an experiment.  Back then, I ran a tiny blog called âFiner Minds.â And I sent an email to everybody who was subscribed to my blog, and I invited those who were interested to come and spend four days with me on a beach in Costa Rica.  The idea was to connect, surf, exercise, create TED-style talks, dance under the stars and inspire each other to go bigger in our lives.  I called it âAwesomeness Fest.â  I was shocked that over 250 crazy souls took me up on my offer. Among them were incredible speakers such as the famous MBA professor Srikumar Rao. Another was Chip Conley, one of the leading minds at Airbnb.  The speakers and audience connected so deeply that I realized this couldnât remain as a one-off event.  So it continued happening every year.  And then twice a year.  We even changed the name to A-Fest.  But the only thing that slowed it down was the pandemic.  After three years, itâs back.  And Iâm sending this open invitation to you, our Mindvalley subscribers, to apply to join us.  Visit: [a-fest.com/apply]( [A-Fest is Back]( Since the point of A-Fest is to bring deep human connection, and I havenât figured out how to do this beyond 300 people, we only have limited spots available.  But if youâre someone who feels like you need more inspiration in your life or you need more connections with people who can elevate you, A-Fest is the place to be.  In the pictures below, youâll get a better idea of what this event is about.  [And you can learn more here >>]( [A-Fest is Back]( Think of A-Fest as a giant group holiday with inspiring people. (By the way, the couple in the center met at A-Fest one year before this pic was taken and ended up getting married.) [A-Fest is Back]( Be prepared to pack costumes. At A-Fest, our parties are more than just music and dance. They become a living artscape where you become the art itself. [A-Fest is Back]( Youâll also meet inspiring people up close and personal. There are no VIP seats and our speakers donât just fly in, speak, and fly out. They are part of the event from start to finish. (In this pic, Director of Training and Conditioning at the New York Knicks Erwin Valencia and the one and only Jay Shetty.) [A-Fest is Back]( Imagine learning life-transforming ideas from the worldâs greatest minds. For example, Esther Perel speaking about sexuality and relationships at A-Fest Ibiza 2017. [A-Fest is Back]( The âAâ in A-Fest partially stands for awe. This is because we create awe-inspiring art and performance that bring people together. After all, beautiful memories are meant to be shared and thereâs no better way to connect than being in a state of awe. [A-Fest is Back]( Expect unique experiences. Here we have our A-Festers doing an ice bath with the legendary âIce-manâ himself, Wim Hof, whoâs life is about to be made into a movie. [A-Fest is Back]( And lastly, many people say that at A-Fest, they meet people that become the best friends of their lives. Other conferences give you acquaintances. A-Fest gives you people that you fall in love with or who become your best friend.  This is part of the human connection DNA of A-Fest.  So if you want to join me and other Mindvalley authors in what will likely be a life-changing experience in Jordan, near the Dead Sea, just click the link below to apply.  It happens this May 18-21.  [a-fest.com/apply](  And by the way, this year, 100% of the profits from A-Fest will be going to Ukrainian charities.
