Application Process
I will be creating a WhatsApp group chat and adding attendees as they're confirmed so that we can all get connected before we meet up in person in Iceland in July!
Mentoring will play a significant role in this workshop, so we will be scheduling time for 2 group mentoring sessions, one prior to arriving in Iceland and one shortly following the workshop. There will also be 1-on-1 sessions during the workshop and again in the months following.
I'll be in touch via email multiple times leading up to the trip to make sure that we are set up for a successful workshop! You'll receive detailed info about accommodations, itinerary, etc. as well as questionnaires to help finalize the tailoring of the workshop.
Once you're selected, you'll receive a booking proposal that includes a contract, where to pay retainer, and a questionnaire. Simply pay the $1,000 retainer and your spot will be secured as an Iceland adventurer!
Spots are limited, so our planning team will undergo a selection process that includes:
- Initial screening through applications
- Candidate selection
- Interviews
