The Wanderlust Festival is a summer festival first held in Squaw Valley in July 2009. Wanderlust's core purpose is to create community around shared values of mindfulness - yoga, the arts, personal spirituality, environmentalism, organics and conscious consumerism. Wanderlust brings together the world's leading yoga teachers and top-tier musical performers in settings of breathtaking natural beauty.
Festivalgoers spend their mornings getting centered in one of many yoga or meditation classes, or engaging in outdoor activities from hiking to biking to stand up paddleboard yoga to rock climbing. Wanderlust also features the Speakeasy Lecture Series, the Soulful Cinema Screening program, a Winderlust Experience featuring local organic and biodynamic wines, a Farm to Table Dinner that brings the freshest local food to a community dining experience, and more. Nights at Wanderlust are dedicated to musical discovery and a full-tilt dance party.
Wanderlust is a feast for both the body and the senses. In 2013, the Wanderlust schedule includes Chile, Hawaii, Vermont, Colorado, California, Tremblant, QC, and Whistler, BC.
