This is the strongest offer I have ever made.

Oh, there is something beautiful about creating an experience for other human beings.

First, creating a program that thrills me: Smart, creative people who have something important to say. Poets and musicians and business coaches and writers and photographers and philosophers and thinkers, all addressing three vital components of life: Courage, Creativity, and Community. Getting deeper than the “how” to the “why.”

I’m not writing long, never-ending sales pages for this event, the ones with arrows and big “buy it now” buttons and endless reiterations of what you’ll get and bonuses. It’s simple: You’ll be nourished and inspired; you’ll be transformed in ways that have no balance sheet.

I’m not inviting you from a place of lack or fear in opening up the opportunity to be there. No threats of “if you’re not there, you will miss out and your life will have less meaning and you won’t achieve the wealth you deserve.” Because if you’re not there, you’re just not there. Your life will go on. You know that.

It seems the selling point for many events is getting wealthy. You may not get rich or grow your business by attending this Camp. I don’t know. This is about a different kind of wealth. The focus is you: your life, your energy, your wisdom, your urge to live a more intentional, meaningful life, to get to the end of your life without regrets, to process and make art from your life, to live more joyfully and fully, to laugh deep, deep belly laughs, and to finally, yes, find your tribe. Perhaps that translates into growing your business or getting more page views or getting published–I don’t know. Only you can know what feeling more grounded in your own life will mean to you. Or if it means enough all on it’s own to justify being there.

Who is this for? It’s not just for “creatives,” but any human being who longs for meaning in their life, who appreciates being open to the opportunity to think more deeply and broadly, who gets that courage, creativity, and community are necessary building blocks to a life well lived.

What will you get? I think the question is, more importantly, what will you bring? Will you bring your wise, beautiful self and make strong offers to the community? Will you bring your vulnerabilities and strengths and full, beautifully chaotic human self?

My strong offer is world class speakers and workshop leaders and live music and just plain fun. I’m offering surprise and joy. I’m offering the experience of a lifetime, unlike any other conference you’ve attended. I’m offering an amazing tribe, the opportunity to be part of the program, and brain and body food.

I talk a lot about making strong offers: This is mine, the strongest offer I’ve ever made. I know, in my heart of hearts, that we will attract the right people to be there, the ones who see beneath the surface, the ones who know innately the importance of courage, creativity, and community in their lives, the ones who see life as a grand adventure, or want to.

I know we will create an amazing tribe of thinkers and doers, of people who do and can make strong offers of their own. As a community, we are going to do amazing things.

We want to make this as accessible as possible:

• By offering a payment plan with as little as $37 down (this offer expires 4/15/13).
• Be offering the opportunity bring a friend for an over 60% discount so both your registration fees are much cheaper (this offer expires 4/30/13).
• By randomly selecting five people who complete this survey to receive free registration!
• By offering you the opportunity to propose a “Spark” or “Creative” session for the program and if you’re chosen to speak, a free registration.

I am committed to this amazement; I am all in. I hope you might be too.

I would love to welcome you there. Magic awaits.

Love,
