ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

Q: What exactly is Upgrade<->Reset?
A: We're a conscious community for high-performers who refuse to choose between success and soul. Think Burning Man's creative spirit meets Esalen's transformational depth, but designed for entrepreneurs and creators who want both meaningful growth and joyful celebration.

Q: How is this different from other personal development communities?
A: We combine ancient wisdom with modern frameworks in a way that's relaxed, fun, and practical. No spiritual bypassing, no toxic positivity, just real humans doing real work on themselves while building authentic connections. Plus, we believe transformation should feel like the best party you've ever been to.

Q: Who belongs in this community?
A: Entrepreneurs, creators, conscious leaders, and anyone who's constantly evolving. You might be successful by conventional metrics but feel something's missing, or you're building something meaningful and want to connect with others on a similar journey.

YOUR FESTIVAL (AUGUST 22-24)

Q: What's included in my YOUR Festival ticket?
A: All workshops, meals, vineyard access, evening celebration, morning yoga, integration sessions, and curated community experience. Accommodation is separate but we provide recommendations and coordination with local partners.

Q: Where do I stay during the festival?
A: We partner with local accommodations ranging from luxury (Bernardus Lodge) to mid-tier (Carmel Valley Lodge) to budget-friendly options. Shuttle service is included, or you can upgrade for on-site parking.

Q: What should I expect from the workshops?
A: Expert-led sessions using frameworks like Ikigai, Tarot, Wellness Wheel, and SMART Goals with board-certified coach Ben Grandis. Interactive, communal, and designed for real breakthrough - not just inspiration.

Q: Is this a "party" or a "retreat"?
A: Both! Think wellness retreat by day, music festival by night. We do deep transformational work during the day, then celebrate breakthroughs with music, wine, and authentic connection under the stars.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Q: What's the time commitment?
A: YOUR Festival is Friday 4pm - Sunday 3pm. Future events will vary, but we're designed for busy people who want maximum impact without endless time investment.

Q: Do I need experience with personal development work?
A: Not at all! We welcome beginners and veterans alike. Our approach makes growth accessible whether you're new to inner work or you've been on the path for years.

Q: What if I can't make the full weekend?
A: We offer a Saturday-only option for $500, but we highly recommend the full experience for maximum transformation and community connection.

Q: Is there a refund policy?
A: Yes, full refund until 30 days before the event, 50% refund until 14 days before. We want you to feel confident in your investment.

COMMUNITY & VALUES

Q: What makes the community special?
A: We're building the antidote to surface-level networking. Real conversations, vulnerable courage, and the belief that your next breakthrough is just as likely to happen during a tarot reading as a strategic planning session.

Q: Do you offer scholarships or sliding scale?
A: Yes! We believe financial barriers shouldn't prevent transformation. Contact us about work-trade opportunities and need-based scholarships.

Q: What happens after YOUR Festival?
A: You become part of our ongoing community with access to future events, digital connection platform, and a network of humans committed to conscious evolution.

Q: Are you affiliated with any religious or spiritual practices?
A: We're spiritually inclusive but not affiliated with any specific tradition. We blend ancient wisdom with modern science, honoring all paths while maintaining practical focus.
