I had some incredible exchanges, beautiful and meaningful conversations. And the content both: on the stage and off the stage has been so well curated. It’s been a conference that you want to stay at and to experience all the festivities, the evening parties and also the seminars. It has been an incredible experience and I hope I had to do that again. Read more

“My favorite part about A-Fest is that it’s a collection of really like-minded people and by like-minded I mean people that are very forward-thinking in terms of how they are doing health, how they are doing medicine how they are being self-care. And that everyone wants to learn from one another.“ Read more

“People here are so extraordinary and they are all givers. They give so much: they give their time, they give their ideas… They are really innovative thinkers. I’ve never found anything like this anywhere in the world. The collection of incredible, authentic, giving people all together, all giving their time, their energy, the stuff that they know. It is a real melting pot of them: the phenomenal brains that put together and I’ve learnt a lot, and then I think it changed my personality - coming here. It made me much more outgoing and I love it!“ Read more

“A-Fest kind of reminds me of the Olympics. You go to the Olympics, you are in the village there and you are meeting people who under normal circumstances you would never meet. And you become lifelong friends. That’s the same kind of bond and friendship that exists here at A-Fest.” Read more

“I attended my first A-Fest in Sardinia. I came with high expectations considering the process to be invited to attend, the caliber of Mindvalley and the speakers. A-Fest surpassed my expectations in all these elements. The most beautiful experience for me was connecting with such a loving, generous, beautiful people who genuinely cared for themselves, for others and want to make a huge impact in the world. I no longer feel alone or weird. I came home to my family on Earth and feel so supported as I move into taking bigger goals and projects to help the world while I also grow individually. Much love A-Fest team. You are a critical part of creating the experience for us.” Read more

“At most conferences and events, the speakers are separated from the attendees as if there are 2 classes of citizens. Not at A-Fest. Somehow the Mindvalley team has created an atmosphere where every attendee feels special and is treated like family. Speakers, participants, and event staff are part of the same community and everybody learns and connects with one another. Unity, humility, gratitude, and joy overflow as the event kicks into gear and it is hard not to question...'why can't all of society be this way?' Maybe it can.” Read more

It's surprising to me that A-Fest gets better each time, and A-Fest Greece was no exception! There was a certain magic to the group - everyone seemed to fit together in such a beautiful way. It doesn't seem possible, but I have more great conversations in a few days at A-Fest than in the months in between. Everyone is so packed full of excitement & potential. I love it! Read more

“A-fest has become one of my favorite gatherings around the world. What stands out are the speakers actually ATTEND the event, and almost anyone in the audience could be a speaker on stage. What’s more is everyone’s commitment to themselves to not just go to another party, but to expand their horizons, grow individually, AND as a community. The tribe at A-fest truly supports each other through their transformations, and this makes the radical shifts that occur a bit more smooth.” Read more
