Quite a bit has changed. In 2009, we were as shiny and new as President Obama, and now we\u2019re a global company with more than 50 events around the world, 6 studios and centers, and an online instructional media business (and we have a very different President, too). Back in the aughts, social media and our new iPhone 3 seemed like wonderful tools for connecting humanity, and now many of us are wondering how to shut it all off (after one last scroll on the &#8216;Gram). Most importantly to us, in 2009, yoga practice was at the heart of a conscious community, seeking better health and personal transformation.\u00a0 Now, yogis have joined a global conscious <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">movement<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, leveraging our individual practices to make the world a better place, both on and off the mat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>THE HEART OF WELLNESS<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, we think wellness is about <em>more<\/em> than how you practice, what you eat, or how much you sleep. In fact, it\u2019s about more than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 it\u2019s also about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">us<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, about our communities, our societies, our politics, and our planet.\u00a0 It\u2019s about exploring the many interconnected ways in which we, as humans, can increase our health and happiness, thrive, and reach our innate human potential. And it\u2019s also about recognizing and correcting the many ways in which we, as humans, cause our individual and collective well-being to decline. It seems increasingly pointless just to perfect our practice if, as Greta bluntly tells us, our house is on fire. With that realization, the heart of wellness has evolved and expanded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-155823\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Oahu-2017-prayer-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Oahu 2017 prayer\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Oahu-2017-prayer-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Oahu-2017-prayer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Oahu-2017-prayer.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Back at Wanderlust, we\u2019ve thought a lot about how we fit into all this. Our motto,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> find your true north<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is as simple and relevant as ever, but over time we\u2019ve sought to expand the concept of \u201ctrue north\u201d to include aspirations and goals that fall outside of the personal. We started by adding the Speakeasy to our festivals, introducing a deep exploration of transformational ideas.\u00a0 A few years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/living-aparigraha-becoming-a-b-corp\/\">we became a B Corporation<\/a> and reconsidered what success means to us, giving equal weight to each piece of the \u201ctriple bottom line\u201d (people, planet, and profit). Last year, we took wellness to the desert at <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/learn-well-wellspring-advice-takeaway\/\">Wellspring<\/a>, offering a redefinition of wellness that includes relationships, community and social justice (social wellness) as well as politics, social change and environmentalism (global wellness).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-155836\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/garth-stevenson-squaw-2019-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Music Meditation Hike Garth Stevenson\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/garth-stevenson-squaw-2019-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/garth-stevenson-squaw-2019-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/garth-stevenson-squaw-2019-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/garth-stevenson-squaw-2019.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>We\u2019re proud of what Wanderlust has become. Abstracted to the highest level, we think Wanderlust is a festival that <strong>celebrates human potential<\/strong>.\u00a0 Our events are a curated cauldron of experts, artists, practices and ideas, a place to stir the pot of possibility and watch the alchemy. The meditation and yoga help us quiet our minds, the group fitness and outdoor activities strengthen our bodies and reconnect us to nature. The ideas challenge our ingrained thought patterns, while the arts fill us with wonder and inspire us to create. Last, but not least, there\u2019s <strong>the power of community itself<\/strong>. Community supports healthy habits and picks us up when we fall. It\u2019s also what\u2019s sorely lacking in this digital age:\u00a0 the emotional bonds IRL, which (as is now proven) cannot be replaced by a screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>ROOT DOWN TO RE-EMERGE<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, we recognize that our global growth has caused us to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lose<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> something. While we always added new events with the best of intentions \u2013 \u201cc\u2019mon team, let\u2019s bring this magical collection of experts, ideas and experiences everywhere!\u201d \u2013 the reality is that scale is the enemy of nuance. And Wanderlust is nothing if not a nuanced experience, carefully curated and lovingly executed.\u00a0 It depends on surprise, delight, whimsy and the unexpected, which cannot be mass-produced or replicated with a cookie cutter, no matter how delicious the batter may be. Equally important, particularly for a company dedicated to \u201cpeople\u201d as one of its 3 pillars, is that our team simply can\u2019t keep up with the workload. Even the 18 events we directly produced in the US &amp; Canada in 2019 (we did 32 at our peak!) are too many. We need more time to dream and imagine. We recently spent 2 days in Squaw Valley doing just that, and we are truly excited to show you what we\u2019ve created.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2020 VISION<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-155797\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/squaw-mountaintop-sunshine-flowers-ali-768x513.jpg\" alt=\"squaw-mountaintop-sunshine-flowers-ali\" width=\"301\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/squaw-mountaintop-sunshine-flowers-ali-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/squaw-mountaintop-sunshine-flowers-ali-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/squaw-mountaintop-sunshine-flowers-ali.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/> You can expect a thoroughly reimagined <strong>Wanderlust Squaw Valley <\/strong>in<strong> July, 2020<\/strong>, with exciting new speakers &amp; teachers, reimagined venues, more art and music, new fitness modalities, and expanded camping experiences. We\u2019ve worked hard to make sure the night experience &#8212; the celebration, the release, the wonder &#8212; is as vibrant and compelling as the experience of nature, fitness and practice is by day.\u00a0 We\u2019ve expanded our curated food vendors and created an outdoor dining area to commune in. And despite these changes, we\u2019ve managed to make access more affordable than ever before, all while offering an expanded range of unique experiences for those looking for a premium experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-155810\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/russell-brand-wellspring-mainstage-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"russell brand wellspring mainstage \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/russell-brand-wellspring-mainstage-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/russell-brand-wellspring-mainstage-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/russell-brand-wellspring-mainstage-1.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Wellspring<\/strong> will return to the beautiful desert city of <strong>Palm Springs in October, 2020<\/strong>.\u00a0 If Wanderlust Squaw Valley is a transformational festival, think of Wellspring as a transformational conference, maintaining our focus on human potential, but emphasizing talks and ideas.\u00a0 It\u2019s an event open to both practitioners and wellness professionals, offering an expo of upcoming wellness-focused brands as well as a wide range of talks and panels suitable for industry pros. As our newest event, Wellspring needed the least reimagining, but even still, we\u2019re refining and optimizing the experience so you can expect a summit with true impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-155849\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wanderlust-108-brooklyn-mc-yogi-crowd-768x513.jpg\" alt=\"wanderlust 108 brooklyn mc yogi crowd\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wanderlust-108-brooklyn-mc-yogi-crowd-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wanderlust-108-brooklyn-mc-yogi-crowd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wanderlust-108-brooklyn-mc-yogi-crowd.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Last but not least, <strong>Wanderlust 108<\/strong> will return to <strong>Brooklyn<\/strong> in <strong>September, 2020,<\/strong> taking place in the urban oasis of Prospect Park. Our mindful triathlon has always emphasized fun, community and accessibility, bringing high-quality yoga, mindfulness practice and fitness to beginners and experts alike. This year, we\u2019ll be amping up the artisanal food offerings (it\u2019s NYC, after all!), adding new speakers, and working with our brand partners to curate some exceptional goodies for our paid attendees. As always, there will be free tickets available to all those willing to get on a mat and quiet their mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>Three exceptional events.<\/strong><\/em> That\u2019s it.* It feels deeply satisfying to focus our energies around a few truly exceptional experiences in the U.S., rather than dozens of great ones. As the inspirational founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, said, \u201cThe more you know, the less you need.\u201d We\u2019ve taken that to heart. Looking forward to spending the next 10 years with you, dear Wanderlusters.
