5 Ways To Discover Your X At The F of X Festival

Hello there! Have you heard the call from the wild yet?

We bet you have! You’ve probably even answered, or maybe you haven’t yet. The second edition of the F of X festival is happening in February, 2020 and the applications are flooding in already!

But maybe, you’re not entirely sure why you should attend, or if this is the right place for you to be. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself in the rut of everyday life that your X is not worth discovering. Worse, you may know what your X is, but are worried about acknowledging it.

If you’re nodding your head right now, if there’s that tug happening on your heartstrings, that’s what it feels like to finally listen to what you’ve wanted all along! We daresay the F of X festival is the place to be in 2020.

“But, will I really discover my X?”

We hear you! Which is why we’ve put together five perfectly perfect ways to discover your X at the festival. (Yes, we know that sentence is full of redundancies, but how else do we tell you just how awesome finding your X feels like?)

Experience The Cycle Of A Creator

Author Jack London of Call of the Wild fame once said, “You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.” Any good creator will tell you that being good at something is more about practice and actual doing than it is about waiting for the bell of inspiration to ring.

At the F of X festival, we have clubs lined up in four zones- Heart, Mind, Hand and Soul. Engage one or engage them all- the tools you need to shift gears on your creative potential are all here.

Be Wild!

When was the last time you were utterly, completely spontaneous? The discipline of everyday life isn’t a bad thing but it certainly pushes spontaneity to the back of the room.

At edition one of the F of X festival, we had creators who had never taken to the stage come up and share their deepest, most instinctive realizations. We had creators promise to make different choices and live the rest of their lives differently. Hell, we had creators who quit their jobs on a public platform!

When you’re willing to make the changes that promptly throw you out of your comfort zone, you discover your X, because that’s the one thing that can drive you when nothing else will. Are you ready?

Brainstorm With Over Forty Guides

At the festival, you get unrestricted access to over 40 guides who have literally been there and done that. We have artists, performers, creative entrepreneurs- people who have found their X and followed it with passion to get to where they are today.

What better way can there be to discover your X than to hear it straight from a guide? At the festival, unfettered access means that you can brainstorm over coffee, or catch up over drinks. Whatever works for you works for us, too.

Discover Your X With 250 Others

There’s a certain comfort to be had in sailing in the same boat as a couple of hundred others. At the festival, you will meet and brainstorm with over 250 people who are asking the same question as you,”What is my X and how do I follow it?”

Choose your setting, and your people, and get started with stimulating, engaging, sometimes tough conversations that help you find what you’re so fundamentally looking for.

Find Your Tribe

The great outdoors is great for a reason. At the festival, we’re all about open spaces and outdoor engagement. Take a walk by the riverside, listen to a fellow creator speak, or just soak up the collective vibe next to a bonfire.

After a long day, let all the information you’ve gathered stew a little bit- leave it alone and chill. Maybe the answers you’re seeking will come to you when you’re not thinking about them at all.

“I feel like the things that I “should” do have always overshadowed the things that I want to do. But now, I realise that fuelling what naturally drives me is the only sustainable way to achieve the things that are important to me. There’s really no going back from this feeling.”- Mahi

The F of X festival is the stimulus you never knew you needed. Come, find your X and go back a transformed creator.

F of X is a festival for creators to grow their magic, learn the tricks of the creative trade and find a tribe to belong to. Feb 20–23, you’ll see Jim Corbett abuzz with creators from all over the country.
