Chapters
Hi everyone and welcome to our presentation on mindvalley University. This is for all of you who are excited about mindvalley University and wanted to learn a little bit more about this project, how the project runs and what you can expect. So I'm excited to have you all here. We have about 400 people joining us and thank you for making time on this busy Wednesday. I'm just going to give a few moments for a couple more people to trickle in and we'll begin shortly. In the meanwhile, go ahead to the comments and just add a little comment. Let us know where you're from, let us know if you've attended Mind Valley University before and if there's any message that you want to share to people who are thinking about attending. Oh, and it's so nice to see people here from the Netherlands, such as someone there from Utrecht, as well as folks from all around the world, India, the usa, Canada, Estonia, which is where I am right now. Okay, we're at 600 people, so let's get started. What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you, take you on a tour of mindvalley University. I'm going to explain the recent rebrand of the, of the the project. We're going to talk about what you'll experience and then for those of you who want to apply to be a speaker. So Mindvalley University has something really unique about it. Yes, we bring in incredible speakers from the mindvalley portfolio of best selling authors. But we also give space for members of our community to get on stage and share. And every year we choose between 50 to 75 members of our community. And this is how we discover talent. Reagan Hillier, who was a number one author last year, was discovered that way. Marissa Pier was discovered that way. As was Jeffrey Allen, as was Niraj Naik, Juan Pablo Barahona. All of these are mindvalley legends. They have programs which are perpetually in the top 10 on Mindvalley, yet they were all discovered on our community stage. And so after giving you information on mindvalley University, for those of you who are hoping to share your wisdom on stage and want to apply to Speak, I'm going to go a little bit deeper on that and show you how. We also use Mindvalley University as a talent incubator. So you guys ready? Now we're also going to have the Q and A option open on this Zoom. And you guys know how Zoom works. So if you have a question, go ahead and post it in the Q and A. Or if you see a question that. That you feel is really good and you want to upload it, you can go ahead and do that, too. All right, let's begin. So I want to start with some quick logistical information. This is the first time we're doing Mindvalley University in Amsterdam. It's a beautiful city and absolutely stunning place to be. And it's one of those cities that many people who have visited say is absolutely unforgettable. Now, something really interesting about Amsterdam, right? My Nellieu starts on Monday, August 4, but the week before is actually widely considered to be the funnest week in Amsterdam. It is the week of the Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade. I have cousins who live in Amsterdam, and they say this is. It's a week of festivals, of incredible concerts, music. The canals of Amsterdam are turned into a parade ground with floats on boats. And if you happen to come to Mindvalley U, and if you can come a few days earlier, I strongly recommend that you come to Amsterdam, say, around August 1st, 2nd, 3rd, so you can catch the tail end of the Pride Parade. It is considered widely as one of the best pride parades in all of Europe. So that's another reason to come all the way to Amsterdam. Now, we recently changed the name of the project from Mindvalley University to Mindvalley U. And I wanted to play this video to give you an idea why. In Mind Valley, we've always believed the real magic isn't in a space. It's in you. You are the ones who rise above limitations and choose to be extraordinary. You are unstoppable, unapologetic in your pursuit of transformation, unwavering in your commitment to growth. You are the force that ignites change, breaking barriers and unlocking untapped potential. This is Mindvalley. You. You aren't just attending, you're becoming. To the undefeatable, to the unique, to the unwavering, to the unafraid, to the unapologetic, to the ones who unite. To the undoing of the old you, to the ultimate. This was never about university. It was always about you. So we decided to change the name to Mindvalley University because we really felt that the word sorry to mind value you. Because we really felt that the word you encapsulated what this is about. This is really about you, our community, and what. One of the things we really believe in is that the community is what makes the company. We dropped the word university because we felt that university carried too much baggage. And especially in this world of exponential technologies, universities are not necessarily, not necessarily the People. So what is the Mind value experience like? Well, this video will give you an idea. Now someone is saying they can see my full desktop screen. Let me actually. Is that true? Did I share wrong? Okay, let me try this again. Thank you. So now we can make it more targeted. Sorry about that. Okay, now you should be able to see just the video. Okay, let's begin. Imagine if going to university was not four years, but was one. Lunch every year. This is Mindvalley's vision of university and it's nothing like you would expect. Go. What makes this tribe super unique is that these people are very, very, very heart centered, but they're playing a really big game when it comes to their lives. It's such an incredible tribe, Satan. You know, with all the negativity in the world and the politics of the world, you know, we feel like we're alone. I think there's a lot of us that if we unite we realize that we are the changers, we're unstoppable and we can make the world a better place. So I hope that gives you an idea of what mindvalley University is about. I want to stop sharing for a moment and just speak from the heart. Mindvalley University is like a cross between Burning man and Web Summit. It's impossible to put in a box. And the reason it's impossible to put in a box is because it's co created with the community. So mindvalley itself spans so many dimensions of learning. And we will bring in 40 to 50 teachers, but then everyone who comes gets a unique app. And on the app you can see the faces, the profiles, the bios of everyone else attending. And you can do two things. You can actually create your own event so you can apply to Speak and if you get accepted, we put you on one of our main stages. But even if you don't get accepted, you can go to the app and said, hey, I'm going to run a cacao ceremony at this particular yoga studio at this time. I'm going to do a men's workshop in this particular location at that time. And there were so many occasions where members of our community came and co created with us. There was this one girl from Australia, she decided with her husband to do a cacao ceremony. So she rented a yoga studio. She wasn't big enough. So, you know, although she applied, she didn't end up being selected for a community stage. That cacao ceremony, 250 people attended. So the next year we put her on the community stage. She got a standing ovation. So the next year we signed her as an author. Her name is Reagan Hillier. Last year she was the number one author on Mind Valley and earned over a million in royalty in one year. Then there was this guy, this guy from, from Spain and he came to Mind Value. He applied to speak and we didn't really, he didn't really make the cut. Doesn't mean he's not good or anything, it's just that we have a lot of applicants. So he decided to do something really generous. During one of the evenings on the weekend when there was nothing happening, he decided to launch To Rent. So this was in Mindvalley University in Croatia. He decided to rent a fortress on a hill. And in this fortress he created an alcohol free rave party. No alcohol, just mushroom elixirs by the way, legal mushrooms. Let me just get that straight. So we're talking about things like lion's mane and, and ashwagandha that helps you relax and so legal mushrooms. And he really loved breath work. So he also combined breath work. So people would be dancing, he was a DJ and then he'd have them pause and do breath work. His name is Naraj Naik and he came back again and again we signed him. And today Niraj Naik is the breath work teacher on Mind Valley. And his breath work school, Soma Breathwork just got validated by Oxford and, and is widely considered the number one breath work modality in the world. These are just a few stories and, and the stories are, are incredible. So the point is, even if I want you to apply to the community stage because you'll be sharing the stage with so many incredible people. But even if you don't get selected because of this app, I want you to co create with us to trust what you feel in your heart, what you feel in your soul is pushing you to step out and share. And maybe it's a cacao ceremony because you aren't comfortable speaking on stage, maybe you're a musician and you just want to find a way to perform. Co create with us. People use this app to create meetups where they go to their lifebook with other members in a local cafe. They, they, they, they use it to find friends to maybe go out for dinner with. The principle we have is no money exchange is allowed. So it's like Burning Man. In Burning man, you buy a ticket and once you're in Burning man, there is no exchange of money. You give, you give as a gift. It's a gifting economy. It's the same with Mind Value. When Reagan and her then husband Juan Pa did that cacao ceremony. I think it cost him about three or four hundred dollars. And then they had to rent the studio probably another €400. But now assigned Mindvalley authors, their business has absolutely exploded. I believe in karma and I believe in giving. And so mindvalleyu is this incredible opportunity to give. If you watched that video, you would have noticed it was a scene when these young Indian South Asian girls were brought on stage. Those are actually children from the slums of Bangladesh. These are kids who grew up in dirt in poverty. We sponsored 22 of them to come and attend Mindvalley University. So let's go further and I want to show you some of the other things. Okay. That you can experience. From the beginning, this event was created around community, the most impactful thing. So I want to show you another video. And. And this video is what happened last year. So you saw a video which kind of describes mind value. Let's look at what was last year like. This is our after movie. The most impactful thing you can do for the world is learn how to love life, all of life. Show people that being happy doesn't mean turning a blind eye to the pain and the sadness and the suffering that happens. Show them that choosing love doesn't mean ignoring fear. It just means being willing to feel. Sam. Because we suffer from an epidemic of loneliness and we need to find community to feel connected. And mindvalley creates that community that makes you feel like you're never alone with mindvalley. It's going to be epic. Mindvalley attracts a very brilliant, active, hungry entrepreneur and a learner because it introduces the coexistence of massive growth and massive fun. Okay? So for those of you who said, where do I sign up? Mindvalley.com forward/you. I want to answer some quick questions which are coming up really fast in the chat. Children's program, week one is sold out. We still have a few spaces for week two. But even week two, last I checked, is 95% sold out. That is not an exaggeration. So we only have room for maybe like five or six additional kids. The children's program, we don't get to scale it as much as the adults program because the children require so much support. Okay. Also in the chat, Almarissa, I'm seeing Amarissa and my team. I'm seeing that Amarissa is saying, please avoid spam or sharing links. Al, Marissa, stop posting that. Just kick anyone who is unruly out. Okay? No apologies needed. This is for people who are interested in learning about Mind Value. You spammers just kick them out. You don't have to ask twice or apologize. Now Mind Value has won numerous awards. Gold Award Best Educational Event category Gold Community Engagement Event category Bronze People Choice. And this is by eventex, which awards events around Europe. So it's been globally recognized for the quality of experience that it is. Now it's happening in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Amsterdam. Have any of you been there? If you have, share your thoughts on Amsterdam in the chat. Amazing, isn't it? So we were able to secure the the biggest conference center in Amsterdam. Now here's what really happened. We booked that conference center in 2020 for MVU, but then Covid hit and we had to cancel all our events for two years. And this year that same conference center came back to us. You know, they felt so sorry because we, we lost a ton of money when, when we had to cancel everything. And so we were able to negotiate a really good rate. And thus this is the biggest, baddest, boldest venue we've ever had. Mindvalley un Now, a couple of things about Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, you, you have to find your own accommodations. The good thing about the city is it's that it's a walking city. So, so you. So traveling, moving around is really easy. Accommodations are just a tad bit trickier only because Amsterdam has really strict Airbnb rules. If you have a apartment in Amsterdam, you can only put it up for maybe one month of the year. Thus book your Airbnb fast. But even if not, you can always get a hotel room. Now this year we introduced something new. We introduce three day tickets so you can come to attend Mind Value. If you can't attend for an entire week, you can attend for three days. The venue is Bourbon Balage. This is not the best picture of the venue. When you actually go inside, it is stunning. That's what it looks like. Now the speakers. So many incredible speakers. And there are three tracks. Adults, teens, kids, Teens and kids. We have room for around a hundred, but we have room for over 1,500 adults. So it's mostly an adult event. Many teens who are smart, who are gifted, like my son. My son is 17. He's just attending the adult track. Now the adult track is 100 plus sessions over 10 days across three stages. So there's the main stage where you have the big Mind Valley speakers. There's a community stage where you have speakers from our community. And some of these speakers are outstanding. Many of our Mind Valley speakers Also speak on the community stage. And then there's the embodiment stage. Embodiment stage is where you go for breath, work for meditation. And we've had some incredible speakers there. Last year, for example, we brought this spiritual teacher from Iran and she was mind blowing. She was able to just shift the energy of the room. And the embodiment stage is where you go, if you want to go into fitness, yoga, things that require you to move your body. Now the speaking schedule is filling up really fast and a lot of our speakers, we're moving them around, but this is what is locked in. Every day is a theme, okay? Day one is the opening day, day 10 is the closing. In between we have a day of reinvention, a day on AI biohacking manifesting. Saturday, there are no classes. That's where the community comes together. You co create with the community. But Saturday we do a massive party festival style that you will absolutely love. Okay? Now we also do an extra party on Thursdays if you have a VIP ticket. So the VIP party, the VIP ticket is a little bit more expensive. I think it's about 50 more expensive, something like that. The VIP party is typically a little bit smaller. It's limited to about 400 people. The main parties that happen on Saturday are about a thousand five hundred people. Now week two, we go into relationships and healing, future proofing, influence, wealth closing, and then of course the big closing party. Now what you're seeing here is only half the speakers. This is about to double. It's just that you're still two months away. A lot of the speakers are still confirming the exact day they are speaking on. But many of our speakers come for three or four days. Now one of the things that's really interesting is, is this. At MindValleyU, speakers waive their speaking fee. I get paid 100 grand plus to speak at any other event. I speak at Mind Value for just the, you know, room and board. Many speakers do that. The reason is because the speakers have an incredible time. We deliberately change the concept of how an event runs. I love the concept of democracy. So what we credit Mind Value is there's no backstage, okay? The speakers sit in the audience. Now you can buy on a VIP ticket, you get the front row seats. Obviously the speakers are sitting in the front, but if you're a VIP ticket holder, you're basically sitting in the audience with the speakers. And then the speakers are so excited about the parties and the celebrations because they are so good. The speakers show up to the into the Future party. The roaring 1920s party. The. But again, there's a lot of people there. If you have a VIP ticket, you are more likely to, you know, bump into Marissa Pierre or me. At the VIP parties on Thursday, these are limited to 400 people. We typically have 50 to 60 speakers at these parties because they have such a good time. In fact, because the, the, the hierarchy between speaker and attendee is blurred. At Mind Value, many speakers actually end up meeting some of their close friends. One of my closest friends is a guy called Jimmy. I met him at Mind Value. He was just in the audience. We just happened to hit it off because we had so much in common. We ended up traveling to five countries together. And so it is such a beautiful community because the speakers stay with you, I'm there with you, I'll be at the social minglers or anything unless I have to work a late night because I'm also part of the, part of the group that's planning it. But you'll bump into the speakers in. In Buran Balaj, the community center, you'll bump into the speakers be in on the stages, you'll bump to the speakers at the parties. And it's just a great way to truly connect to people. These are many of the speakers who are coming. The list is growing and growing. We have, in addition to regular mindvalley names, we have amazing speakers like Prince ea, who's one of the top social media viral phenomenons. Roxy Nafousi, whose book Manifest sold over a million copies. We have speakers from all across the world. ITE Talgam, who's an Israeli opera conductor. Ken Honda, who's coming from Japan, he teaches money, mindset. And some of these speakers, by the way, were actually discovered at Mind Value. You see this lady in the center, Don Hong, she was a community speaker last year and now she's blowing up all over the mindvalley circuit. More information on her later. We try to create a great diversity of speakers by bringing in speakers from across the world. For example, Sensei Zen Tak from Japan, Brendan Kane from, from. From London. I know that's not as exotic as Japan, but you get the idea. Now, first weekend of Mind Value, we're actually hosting an open summit. So and this is just a bonus event where. This is a, this is an event where some of our speakers who are already going to be in Amsterdam, they're just going to get on stage and share a favorite 20 minute idea globally with the Mindvalley audience. This one is free. So if you don't get to attend Mindvalley youy can still watch this for free but if you are at Mind Value you can basically attend in the audience. Okay? And by the way, if you want the schedule, that is the link someone said will there be people coming who are in their 20s? Yes. Mind value has people from all age groups. Literally we have six year olds participating in it. I started this when My daughter was 6. My daughter was part of the 6 year old class of Mindvalley youy. So how can you contribute to the agenda? This is where you can apply to be a speaker. Okay, that it it will link list link to this form and simply fill out the form. Put up a quick three minute video so we see your speaking style and so on and you are good to go. Our youth programs are designed for kids who want to experience growth. So I credit Mindvalue Honestly, for my children, I found that just living in one city wasn't giving them the exposure that they needed. So as a family, me, the mother of my children Christina and my two kids, we decided to move to Barcelona one day for a month and just experience the city. And we thought it would be really cool if there were other kids and other parents who joined us. So this was 2016 and I put up a post on Facebook and I said moving to Barcelona for a month. And I'm thinking it'll be great if other families moved with us and we got to, you know, we got to mastermind. I want to meet other entrepreneurs. I want to make new friends. I was living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia back then. So I was all the way on the other part of the world. Now I thought maybe a couple of people would show up. 300 people moved to Barcelona with me and my kids. Among them, Lisa Nichols, celebrities like that, that Tony Gonzalez, who's one of the top 100 NFL players in the world, they literally just moved to Barcelona. They brought their kids and I remember, I mean there we were in Barcelona. Tony Gonzalez, who's if you're American, you know, you know, you, you watch football, you know, Tony Gonzalez, he was just there just hanging out with people, buying ice cream for people, giving talks on bravery and, and, and then later in an interview, Tony Gonzalez said Mind Valley University is the best holiday he ever had with his kids. Okay, so that's why we have a kids program. And so now the kids program has evolved. By the way, that's my son, I created it for him. And my daughter, she's somewhere in one of these pictures and so you can enroll your children as well. But just a few more spots left okay, so these are some videos of what parents say about the kids program. I'm going to skip this because it's going to sell out by the end of this week. Hi, everyone. My name is. And that's not peer pressure or anything. That's just the fact. Okay, now this is what the kids program looks like, but you're actually a kid. Like, the people who are gonna save the world are our generation. You know, like, this is school. This is how school should be taught. I've learned more now than I have in a lot. Like, a lot of months in school combined. I'm grateful for meditation. Whenever I get mad, I just go in a corner and take five breaths. Then I meditate for five minutes. Then I go out and solve my problem. So the reason we have this kids program at Mindvalley University is because as a father, I was looking for a conference that I could attend with my children. Now, I know that sounds crazy, but get this. I wanted my kids to be able to go on these learning adventures with me to get access to great speakers. And so we thought, what if we could create an incredible event where parents could transform their lives. Mind, body, health, wellness, relationships, but also bring their kids along. Now, in the kids program at Mindvalley University, the children learn things that traditional schooling will never teach them. And these include entrepreneurship, it includes confidence, it includes self esteem, wellness exercise, and most of all, they learn to believe in themselves because they are surrounded by adults who are doing extraordinary things. And when kids are exposed to adults like that, they grow up in a world that has no limitations. I did this for my children and really excited by how it's going. My daughter has become more confident than ever and they are having the most incredible time. It's a safe space. You know, it's family. It's family. My name is Gigi Marquez. I am originally from Colombia and I am lead for youth programs at Mindvalley University. Okay. Mindvalley runs a kids program because. Okay, I'm gonna stop there. So there was a kid over there who said, this is family. So I gotta tell you the story of this kid. So this is Daniel. Daniel went on to be listed in to have an article written about him in Forbes. He's attended mindvalley youy five years in a row, speaks five languages, and has written three books before the age of 17. Okay, so these are just some incredible stories. Now this, this is crazy. Danielle Ruffin, I met her in the street. She came and told me this story at Mind Value. So she came for three weeks. She lost 15kg and decided to end the toxic marriage. So this is why immersion sometimes you need something that is longer than three days. Look, it's so comfortable to be able to attend an event in three days. You get bored, you leave boring speakers. Mindvalley. No, like, like we tell you, don't try to attend every talk. People try to attend every talk because the speakers are so damn good. But when you're there in an immersion for one week, two week shifts happen and you release a lot of stuff that might be holding you back. As in this case of Danielle. This is Niraj Naik. He came to Mindvalley youy. He met his mentors, he met his investor, he got to test out his techniques. Today he's a Mindvalley author. Rachel Pringle, another talent. Rachel was here in Estonia because she was married to an Estonian and she was a a volunteer facilitator at Mind Value Unpaid. And today she's a Mindvalley author. Stephen Fostner. He's seen his kids grow and glow. This lady Kanika. My learning and growth was compressed from one year to 10 days and I witnessed a unique form of magic. Ben Greenfield, the longevity pioneer, he's come to Mind Value. He's an amazing father and he said I honestly, it's honestly unlike everything I've ever experienced. I really don't think anything like MVU exists. Okay. And you can read tons and tons and tons of stories about Mind Value right here on the web website. And some of these stories are just really incredible. Absolutely incredible. Oh, there's Tony Gonzalez, NFL hall of Famer, right? You can read the article where he says it is the best holiday he's ever taken in his life. And many of our speakers are authors. Many of these people are well known individuals and they come and they, their lives transform at Mind Value and very accomplished people come. This guy Muneeb, Canadian Entrepreneur of the year 2017, one of the smartest people I've met, Naveen Jain has come the last two years in a row. Billionaire, first private citizen to put a robot on the moon. Palma Augustina. If you watch Disney Channel in Spanish you might recognize her. She's a well known Argentinian actress. All of these amazing people come to MindValleyU and they are just there in the community, just hanging out. So we don't do things like formal networking or anything of that sort of. Rather we believe in energy and vibe. When you come to Mind Value you basically set an intention. What are you looking to expand into? What are you looking to release? What Are you looking to allow in your life? And you let the magic unfold. Okay, now let's talk about the fun part, the parties. So. So the week looks like this every. So August 4th is Monday. Every Monday we have a social and everybody comes together in a, in a big venue and it's, it's just fun. It's just fun. It's mingling. They are the activities. It's. It's like a giant community gathering in one bar or neighborhood. And then every Thursday is the VIP party a little bit more dress up 400 people. This is where you get to, you know, just come and meet really, really amazing folks. And then everyone, a thousand plus come together at the Saturday celebration. Okay, so the weekly socials, they're happening every Monday on Cloud 9. This is what first class and VIP ticket holders get. So you may be wondering, what is the first class ticket? First class ticket gets you a dinner with all of the Mindvalley authors who are, whoever are there when we do our author dinner on Tuesday. Our author dinner has always been a tradition at Mindvalley. We bring all our authors and we wanted to raise money for mind value because you can tell a project like this is not cheap to put on. So we, at every author dinner now we have around 40 authors. And if you have a first class ticket, you get everything in the VIP ticket, but you also get to attend the author dinner. And this is where you get to connect with Paul McKenna, Marissa Pierre, myself and we. There are 12 first. Only 12 first class tickets for week one, only 12 for week two. Okay. On cloud nine, that's the VIP party. All our VIP parties come with a really nice theme, so you want to go shopping beforehand. And into the future is a futuristic party. Now if you've been to a Mindvalley party, you know what it's like. And by the way, all our events, it's not a. Some, some of you guys have a bad idea of the word party because, you know, you probably went to college in the 90s like I did. And partying means to get drunk. At Mind Valley parties, we actually serve a lot of alcohol, free drinks. A lot of people just drink water. It's a very healthy crowd. Alcohol is really not that big a deal at our parties. Energy is what we get high on. And music, and the music is incredible. It's very conscious music. And so I'm not a drinker. And as a result, I guess I just kind of designed these to not really be, be a party that is about losing your inhibitions with alcohol rather it's about intentional connection and celebration. And because we love style, you are part of that party because you come in costume and the kids come as well. So all of these parties have children running around. The reason for that is because I learned from Naveen Jain. So Naveen Jain, he raised incredible kids. His son just became a billionaire. His son found it built and I asked Naveen like how did you raise your kids so well? And he says, I would take my kids to all of the adult conferences I would go to. So they got to mingle with people who had no, no ceiling in their mind of what is possible. And that's why all my children ended up going to Ivy League schools. All my children started companies before they were 30 were worth multi millions of dollars. And that's why his son at 34 just became a billionaire. So week two, same deal. There's a social summer by the park. This is the VIP party. First class and VIP ticket holders. Beautiful party that we're having in an outdoor park, park Zuid in Amsterdam. And again it's very, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful dress up event. So you want to go shopping. And we have photographers everywhere who will capture all of your photos. So a lot of you will end up in photos. We release thousands of photos every, every few days at Mindvalley. Then finally the big public party our community voted for. This is the roaring twenties. This is a great Gatsby style party. And so little secret here. I used to be really into swing dancing way back when I worked at Microsoft in 1998 in Seattle and I frickin love Gatsby bodies. So put on your swing dancing shoes because I am going to be making all of you people swing dance. And even the kids dress up as little gangsters. Okay, the Agenda app is coming soon. And from the Agenda app you get to also co create with us. You can host a meetup, you can host a cacao ceremony, you can decide to teach yoga. You can apply to be a speaker. Now some practical information. Don't forget to bring clothes for every weather. Bring a personal yoga mat if you love taking part in embodiment sessions. And a lot of these things you can just buy from Amsterdam. Amsterdam's a really tight city. In fact there's a whole shopping district just a six minute walk from the location of MVU with all the usual stores, Zara, H&M plus lots of other really cool stores. Okay. There's a comprehensive attendee guide. Take a photo of that, you can download it there. Okay. Early bird tickets are sold out. Our current tickets are selling out fast. This is the ticket pricing. If you are a Mind Valley member, you get $400 off your ticket. Just search your email, look for the. Look for your Mind Value discount and search that. There's a. There's a. The. It's on the website. Let me show you. There's a specific search string that you got to search for. So you go to get your tickets. Okay? Check your inbox and search for the word excalibur. And so Mindvalley membership is around 400. You're basically getting back the cost of your membership because mindvalley membership is a benefit program now. You get discounts on all mindvalley events. All right, so here you have the three day ticket price. Kids week one, teen week one. And then you have adults week one, adults week two, adults, VIP and adults first class. And this is where you can buy your tickets. That's all the pricing. Okay? And that's where you go to secure your tickets. That is the end of this presentation, guys. So I hope you enjoyed that. I hope you got all the information you need. Now let's get to the Q and A. And this is so nice. There are 800 of you here. Okay, so someone said, how do I apply to be a speaker? And does this interfere with volunteering at Mind Value? Not at all. Because if you're a speaker, you can ask for a 20 minute speaking slot. Even if you get a 30 or 50 minute speaking slot just during that time, my team is going to understand you don't have to be at your volunteer duties. How long does it take to be selected as a speaker? Give my team two weeks. Okay, two weeks. Any chance you will bring James Mellon to speak? I'm afraid I do not know who James Mellon is. I heard there will be a wildfit gathering. This is from Nicoletta. There'll be gatherings for all sorts of Mind Valley program enthusiasts. You create your own gathering so you can go to the app, which we're going to release just a few weeks before the event and say, wildfit Gathering happening here. Lifebook Gathering happening here. Amsterdam is an amazing city with tons of restaurants and cafes. It's European cafe culture at its best. So all you have to do is find a cafe and you can even do it after you arrive at mindvalley. What dates did you say were Pride Week? So I don't want to give you the wrong information, but I know that with my family, we are arriving August 1st because we want to. We want to experience the closing Days of Pride Week. It's the week before. Does the program include accommodations and meals? No, you have to get your own meals. Meals are not very expensive. I mean, you can, it's very easy to pick up meals in the cafes of Amsterdam. Accommodations book early. Now, last I check, accommodations in Amsterdam are significantly cheaper. Cheaper the week of Mind Value. Why? Because Pride Week is over. So accommodation prices go up during Pride Week and then the tourists leave. Some tourists are still there, but it, it drops. So when you're booking, I suggest if you change your booking date to, to third onwards, you will likely see a much more affordable rates in your hotel. So someone said, are there any other opportunities that Mind Value, other than being a speaker? Can be. Can I be an affiliate? We don't really have an affiliate program. But what you could do is you could be a community organizer. You could decide that you want to hold a men's workshop around a particular topic. Maybe men who, who. I'm just saying this because this is a situation I'm in. Men whose children are about to leave for university and like, I'm starting to feel like my time with my son is running out and maybe there are other men who feel this way and just want to come and figure out what happens when you become an empty nester. So whatever topic, whatever thing you feel, it would be great to discuss with other people. Create a group around it. Are there scholarship opportunities for international students from Africa? We do, as I said, we, we bring in refugees, we bring in people from the slums. But it's already pre planned. We don't open it up. We work with institutions, with organizations. What weather can we expect? No idea. Nobody can predict the weather. It may be rainy, it may be sunny, I have no frickin idea. But I can tell you this because I live in Estonia and right now it's summer. Sometimes we have the most incredible sunlight and everybody wants to be outdoors. Sometimes it's cloudy and moist and it's still fun because it's always about the people. All we do is we take our outdoor gatherings, we move them indoors, we have hot tea, we, you know, we, we, we, we get all cozy and we do our gatherings indoors. So no matter what happens, they are gathering spaces in Amsterdam. Remember, Amsterdam has been a city, one of the finest cities in the world for the last 1,000 years. They've adapted to the weather at this point. So someone said, if I want to do a, do an event, you know, like, okay, so firstly, if you're selected as a speaker, we give you a stage there's no cost to it. Okay, you, you get on stage. Some of you, like Reagan Hillier did in 2018, may want to rent a yoga studio and do something for the audience. Reagan rented a yoga studio and then held a cacao ceremony. She paid for that herself. It was a way of gifting to the tribe. Okay, so what I said. So to answer Bridget's question, if you, if you need to rent some space, like we said, it's a gifting economy. I, I, I remember Regan asking me can I charge maybe a small $2 fee for the cacao? And I said, yeah, sure. It, because it's, it's cost, right? You're not allowed to make profit from it, but if you want to say, say use it to just cover the cost of the rental, that should be fine. But we want everyone to come from a place of giving. So you're not allowed to make even a dollar of profit from it. Just like Burning man principles. Burning man is more strict. Burning man is pure gifting. You cannot have any exchange of money. Now Jacqueline said, I discussed it with one of your staff. Is it possible to facilitate offers from people who can host people in exchange? We don't really do that, but Jacqueline, talk to my have it sounds like you already are. Someone said this year can my five year old come? It's the children's program is six and above. Okay. Hotel and accommodation connections. We actually have that. We have a whole guide which we will send you which gives you links to where you can find hotels and accommodations. Team, could you please ask Christy from my events team to make sure that the attendees get that I believe after you buy. I remember I gave you guys a link to a, to a, an attendee guide. It's all in there. Okay. And that's it. Someone said can I come Wednesday to Wednesday? Absolutely you can come if you buy a seven day ticket. It's seven days, right? So it's Wednesday, you come in on Wednesday and then your last day is Tuesday. The next week if you buy a three day ticket, you can come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or you can come Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or you can come Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday is a day Sunday. Nothing is happening. So if you come, if you have a three day ticket, you can come Friday, attend Saturday, then attend Monday. All right, thank you guys. I think we got everything. Now I'm just going to give you the link to the QR code once more and we should be good. There you go. But you can also go directly to mindvalley.com forward/you. Okay. Mindvalley.com you. And on that one website, mindvalley a company name.com you. On that one website, you'll find everything that you need. Okay, Friends and community, thank you so much. I hope I answered all your questions. Thank you. 800 of you for showing up and expressing interest. Is going to be so much fun. Can't wait to see you guys. All right. By the way, for those of you who are just hanging around, I. I'd love to know in the chat, is there anything that you feel we can do better in terms of information and getting information out? Anything that you wish we put on our website or anything that we feel that you feel we can do better? You want to paste it in the chat? I just want to read so I can get the feedback to my team. Accommodation. Short videos of the event, Understanding hotels. Okay. Attendee guide. That's good. Going to get all of this feedback to the team. Someone said, is VAT included? When you go to the checkout page, it clearly shows you vat. It's completely transparent. Yes. In Europe, for anything you buy, you pay vat. So a checkout page shows you exactly vat. Someone said, I had no ideas about costumes. We'd never want that to be a worry. The way we do our parties is we make the costumes really easy. And as I said, there's a shopping street just nearby. You can find an H and M, you can find a Zara. The costume theme might be white, may be shiny. You will easily get that from H and M for extremely affordable prices. Okay. Shuttle and logistics for the airport. When you arrive at Amsterdam Sheffield Airport, there's a train that takes you downtown. Okay. The train station is directly in the center of town. From the train station to Burv and Balage, where the event is happening, it's a six minute walk. You literally can move your luggage with you. It's a six minute walk. European cities tend to be very compact. All right, guys, thank you so much. Sam. At included, when you go to the checkout page, it clearly shows you vat. It's completely transparent. Yes.
