What do I get with my Wanderlust ticket?

The purchase of a Wanderlust ticket gives you access to the festival, allowing you to choose up to 3 activities per day. These activities can be a mix of a yoga class or workshop, meditation, hike or run, hooping session or Slackline. You can also schedule up to one Speakeasy lecture per day. You’ll also have access to the ticketed music at night.

Lodging, food and travel are not included with the purchase of a Wanderlust ticket.

Classes look full, can I still get in? Is there a drop-in policy?

If you have a Premium ticket or a GA ticket with one or two classes, we highly recommend you schedule your activities in advance, because class space is limited. You’ll find the link to schedule in your ticket order confirmation from Eventbrite. Once you have scheduled, your spot in that activity is reserved, and you don’t need to worry about not getting in. You can schedule activities marked SPACE LIMITED or ALMOST FULL. If an activity is marked DROP-IN ONLY, all available spots have been scheduled. If you’re a Premium ticket holder, we allow you the benefit of “dropping in” once the other scheduled attendees are in (this does not apply to GA guests). Simply show up early and join the drop-in line. We can’t promise, but most of our classes have a few spots free, and some drop-ins always get in.

How can I teach at Wanderlust?

Wanderlust selects teachers for festivals based on a number of factors, some of which are need, draw, and specialization. We strive to highlight people in local communities to balance with headliner talent. Teachers are chosen from online applications as well as recommendations and all have different types of backgrounds. We look to offer variety like yin, restorative, Iyengar, and Ashtanga to offer our attendees a well rounded experience.
