What is this all about?

What is this event all about?
​JL Collins came up with the idea about 7 years ago wanting to put on events that would bring together groups of exceptional people in amazing locations for fascinating conversations about life, freedom, happiness and investing. 

​What is a Chautauqua?
We call it a Chautauqua, an old Native American word that Robert M. Pirsig, the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, translates loosely as:
​
“…an old-time series of popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve the mind and bring culture and enlightenment to the ears and thoughts of the hearer

What will actually happen?

This 7 day inspirational Chautauqua includes accommodation, transport and food whilst you are in England (it doesn't include flights to the UK)

​On Saturday we will meet you at Heathrow Airport and we will all gather at a hotel in Windsor around the corner from the Queen's home Windsor Castle. 

​On Sunday after a look around Windsor  we will travel together to Stratford Upon Avon for the Chautauqua where you will experience a week of FI talks, amazing food and English experiences like afternoon tea, curry and a murder mystery.  Staying in a old English mansion that was built in 1060AD.

​On the way back to airport we will stop at Oxford to look around one of the world's oldest universites and explore one of England's most beautiful cities.
