Who is El Camino Mastermind for?
Both the virtual and VIP immersion experience is for changemakers, global leaders, entrepreneurs, difference makers, and individuals who are leading on the edge. It is for anyone who wants to connect on a deep and authentic level with yourself, others, and with nature. It’s for those who make choices that align with the greater good for all humanity.
If you are looking for a boost in energy, to disconnect from the daily grind, to reconnect with your courageous side, to connect with amazing global citizens… this experience may be exactly what you need.
How might I “Choose my own adventure”? What are the choices?
We are pleased to offer two paths for this Mastermind:
- A virtual mastermind only or
- A virtual mastermind plus a VIP hiking experience in Galicia, Spain.
Within the virtual mastermind, you will be guided to choose your own path of exploration, guided by our master facilitator, Kristin Ekkens.
What does the Virtual Mastermind include?
The Virtual Mastermind is a 6-month program that includes leadership assessments, six monthly 2-hour learning sessions, and accountability pods with your peers to activate the learning.
What is the virtual mastermind all about?
The virtual mastermind is inspired by Paulo Coelho’s books The Alchemist and The Pilgrimage. It is expertly designed to help us connect more deeply and authentically to ourselves, to others, and to nature. It’s a journey of exploration, experimentation, and engagement. The experience integrates a blend of scientifically-backed approaches including high performance coaching, cultural intelligence, and edgewalking.
Each month we will pause and rest at a guide post (theme) that will help us connect and live more authentically as the best version of ourselves. Why is this important? The more deeply we connect within ourselves and with others, the greater global impact we can have collectively. We have the power to positively change the world – together! The themes include: Courage, Curiosity, Change, Communication, Culture, and Connection.
What can I expect from the VIP experience in Spain?
We have curated a VIP experience for you. For those who are selected for the trek, we will meet in Sarria, Spain on October 17, 2024. We hike for 6 days making our way by foot to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, departing on October 24. We will have a local guide/storyteller who will show us the way to create a memorable experience. We will stay in hotels with private washrooms and enjoy local cuisine. Our luggage will be transported from one hotel to the next (so we can focus on the trail rather than carrying our packs)! The trek is not mountainous … yet we will need to prepare our bodies for walking 9 to12 miles per day.
What is the time commitment?
The virtual mastermind is a 6-month time commitment starting in May 2024. We will meet for 2 hours per month. 30 minutes will be with an accountability pod of peers. The schedule will be released in April depending on participants and timezones.
For those selected to hike El Camino trail, in addition to the 6 month virtual journey, your commitment is an 8-day immersion experience, October 17-24, 2024.
Do I need to apply?
To create an incredible experience for all participants, we ask that you complete a few questions so that we can get to know you better.
Because space is limited to 10 people for the VIP trek in Spain, we have a selection process to ensure the highest level of engagement, collaboration, safety, and cultural diversity.
What if I apply and make a downpayment but am not selected to go on the hike?
Your payment will be applied to the virtual mastermind experience. We will refund anything paid beyond that amount.
What if my plans change after I pay?
We have a 30-day money back guarantee for the virtual mastermind (count begins upon the start of the program). For Full Immersion participants, we will work on a case-by-case basis as we cannot refund deposits paid to our tour guides.
