Wanderlust was a complete mountain high from the life-potent sessions-that happened for me in the PULSE tent with the live music of Dave Stringer, Shaman's Dream, Donna DeLory and more to the river float with Steve Gold and the Mayapuris, to the art that permeated Village Anusara thanks to DK, and the extraordinary music from Moby to Hamsa Lila. It was really about the people of Wanderlust. Like looking in a mirror and finding a cross-blend of all the aspects of yourself - nature-music-yoga-activism-vision-creativity- flow echoed back through so many people of diverse backgrounds.

Jeff Krasno and Schuyler Grant and the Wanderlust Staff headed by Chris Cuevas were our joyous and fearless visionaries and leaders. The musicians and yoga teachers were beloved friends from all over the country. It was a summer festival - a coming together and the ecstatic power of the mountains revived us all.

A special thanks to Beaver of prAna who created the Prana Shala which by day was anchored by PULSE team Gina Caputo, Maria Garre,Twee Merrigan and Simon Park joined the assistant team with stellar hands. Demetri offered a sold out meditation class on which caused ripples for all participating. Alex Theory set-up his vibracoustic table, and Rainbow Michael and his consort Katie helped many ways. I offered with the powerpoint help from Maria Garre a 12 minute history of 2,000 years of the repression of movement  entitled "Dance in freedom for those not free"  was offered at the Speakeasy where Moby and our beloved Swami Radhnath also gave their vision for Wanderlust's video series.

We are heading out the door for Wanderlust at 6:30 this morning and I feel a surge that I don't feel very often after years of traveling. When I was a kid, my whole body would vibrate the night before I went anywhere like a star trek beam. Even in the midst of pre-travel excitement, there was a mystic peace in the air as we would rise at the crack of dawn to travel. I am up now before the sun rises with the same vibrancy.

I got a feeling in my bones - its wanderlusting - like I am being magnetized to the Mountains of Lake Tahoe. Wanderlusting is an organic pull beyond your every day life. The open road calls you, but the destination is inside you. It doesn't have to make any practical sense, although it may be the only thing that is sane.

Wanderlusting - the passion for the unfolding road. A gathering is convening on the mountain. Some of my favorite musicians, DJ's, yogis and yoginis, friends, students, vendors. There is an element of a summer festival rocking in the air. I saw the weather it is straight sun in the 80's which makes our wanderlust river float on Truckee on Thursday with about 90 people divine. I feel like an acorn ready for the sun to let summer crack open and immerse in music-movement-yoga-tribe.

Jeff Krasno, founder of Wanderlust has put together an amazing group together for the Speakeasy including Moby. I am giving a "talk" on Saturday called - "Moving Mountains: The Power of Music and Movement". This 15 minute talk has me really attuned to what anthropologists call "collective effervence" or "communitas" - the spirit of the collective movement of the tribe.

We are born this way and we are wired this way for a reason - we need to feel the collective pulse. The PULSE Tent at Wanderlust is a space dedicated to the collective force through individual flow. With thanks to the Wanderlust team, the Pulse tent is the heart of Wanderlust movement with DJ Dragonfly as our resident DJ, an amazing array of classes with Live Music and off-the-chart evening performances from Moby, Hamsa Lila, Bassnectar and beyond.

I will be web-streaming live from the PranaShala tent-lounge created with co-sponsors prAna. The PranaShala is a navel, nadi line, gathering point with free water, a sacred shala (rest) zone, Kumbha Mela and Bali Malas, spontaneous jam sessions with PULSE project musicians, Dave Stringer, Steve Gold, Donna DeLory, Shaman's Dream, Mayapuris, Nikos Veliskakis, Fire & Flow Staff and Poi Jams with Rainbow Michael and Demetri, Flying Flow with Simon Park and Friends, Sound Healing with Alex Theory, and ShaktiBhakti from the Prana Flow Senior Teachers Maria Garre, Twee Merrigan, Gina Caputo and Media Connections through Jenay Martin and our web partners, Namaste Interactive. We are grateful to everyone for making it all happen. We are looking forward to connecting with all the amazing other tents (Kula Village, Anusara Village, Yoga Tree), teachers, musicians, artists, and participants. I will be hanging out at the PULSE tent for most of the festival giving you an inside view and behind the scenes flow of Wanderlust with lots of guest spots with artists, teachers, friends at the PULSE.

Please enjoy our new website with great thanks to Namaste Interactive for their amazing delivery including a new baby boy! It is the first creative stage of more to come that will make our site at the cutting edge of interactiveness and change. Enjoy the beginning of our rotating playlist.
