Vishen Lakhiani is making Mindvalley's Manifesting Summit free in 2026, previously $49 to $800. Data showed their own teachers created more life-changing sessions than celebrity speakers, so he cut expensive guest fees. Rising costs, war, and AI job disruption made charging feel wrong.

So I'm about to do something that half my business team thinks is a dumb idea. So you see, for the last 2 years, we've been running this thing called Manifesting Summit. It's become one of the biggest manifesting events in the world, if not the biggest. Over 15,000 people buy tickets to attend every single year. Session ratings consistently above 9 out of 10. People come in skeptical and they emerge changed and inspired. And for the last 2 years, people paid for it. $49 for a virtual ticket, $500 to $800 to show up live to the event when it happened in Miami or LA. Well, this year it's free. When something goes from $49 to $800 and suddenly becomes free, your brain starts immediately thinking, what got cut? What's the catch? So let me be really transparent with you. The lineup this year is the strongest we've ever had. 3 days instead of 2. The sessions that people rated 9.87 out of 10 last year, they're back and deeper and adapted. Nothing got cheaper. Everything, however, got bigger. So why 3? Well, a few honest reasons. First, we looked at 2 years of data, and what we found surprised us. You see, the sessions that people rated as genuinely life-changing weren't always the big celebrity names. I mean, last year we had Gwyneth Paltrow, we had Joe Dispenza, but the sessions that actually moved the needle, the ones that people wrote to us months later saying, "That changed everything for me," those were many of Mindvalley's own authors and teachers, the people who've spent spent years developing their methodologies but are not necessarily famous. So we decided to stop spending money on celebrities and actually bring in real teachers, even if you may not have heard their names. And we made it so that anyone, anywhere could access them. This allowed us to make it free. Second, let me be honest about the world right now. Travel is tough. Jet fuel prices are through the roof. There is a war going on. And beyond that, we are going through one of the most uncertain periods in human history as AI AI starts replacing many jobs at a speed that nobody predicted. People are being forced to rethink their goals, their careers, the way they want to show up in the world. This is not the year to put transformation behind a paywall. This is a year to open the door. Third, and I'm going to be transparent about this because I think you deserve it. When 200,000 people experience our teachers for free, a lot of those people become super fans of Mindvalley. They discover our app. They experience our courses on Mindvalley Academy. They realize that what we do is different from anything else out there. And that's how we grow as a company. Not by charging you $49 for a virtual ticket, but by being so good that you want to stay. And here's what I need you to understand. Do not confuse free with low grade. That is not how we roll. Even our free content is produced at the highest level because we've learned after 20 years, that if we give you incredible teachings and create incredible transformations, we gain incredible fans. That's the entire business model. So 3 days, the most powerful lineup we've ever assembled, the same experienced people paid $800 for last year, free online. I remember what it felt like to want these tools and not be able to afford them. I don't want cost to be a reason you cannot learn and grow Sign up for Manifesting Summit, link below this video, and I'll see you there.
