This event is like burning man meets TED

Once a Year, We All Come Home

Hey ,

There's a strange and beautiful thing that happens every summer.

Thousands of people who spend the year scattered across the world — different cities, different time zones, lives that rarely touch — quietly clear their calendars, book their flights, and converge on a single city.

For two weeks, we become a kind of temporary nation. 

One that doesn't exist on any map, and then suddenly does — for fourteen days, in one place, all at once.

This year, that place is Tallinn, Estonia. And it happens next month.

🌍 It's hard to explain unless you've felt it

People reach for comparisons. 

Burning Man meets TED. 

A festival that thinks like a university. 

A summer camp for people who never stopped wanting to grow.

But none of those quite capture it.

Because what actually happens isn't about the stage, or the sessions, or even the teachers. 

It's about waking up for two weeks surrounded by people who are all reaching for something more — and discovering that you're not as alone in that as you thought.

The entrepreneur rebuilding after a hard year. 

The mother stepping back into herself. 

The person who's quietly been outgrowing their old life and didn't have the words for it yet.

They all show up here. And something happens between them that doesn't happen in normal life.

✨ The kind of belonging you can't schedule

Strangers become a tribe within days. 

WhatsApp groups form and never go quiet.

Whole hotels get booked out by people who met that morning. 

People fall in love. 

People find their business partner at breakfast. 

People cry in a session and get adopted by the row behind them.

It's the kind of belonging most of us stopped believing was still possible as adults.

And once a year, for two weeks, it just… is.

The gathering: Mindvalley U 2026

Where: Kultuurikatel — Tallinn Creative Hub, Estonia

When: July 20 – August 2 

How long: Come for three days, one week, or the full two weeks

This is  happening next month and you can come from July 18 as we recently added two extra days so that you can be a part of Daniel’s Priestley’s The Science of Growing Customers 2-day workshop) 

The tribe is already gathering. 

Flights are being booked, plans are being made, the city is quietly filling with people you haven't met yet — but might spend the rest of your life knowing.

The world pulls us apart all year long.

This is the two weeks we choose to come back together. We'd love for you to be in the room when it happens.

See you in Tallinn,
