Montrealers are lucky to have their third chance to attend the Wanderlust Festival this August. The festival began as a summer festival in Squaw Valley, California back in July 2009 and has since expanded to six additional cities.
Wanderlust Montreal
Montreal, known as a city of festivals, first welcomed Wanderlust in 2013 as a relatively small event. It has grown to a massive four day affair in a such a short time. I think that’s a testament to how badly people want to spend more time in nature and away from the city, especially during the short summer.
Celebrate Mindfulness
A popular buzzword is a “mindfulness” (or “mindful living”). The idea is that more people are taking the time to slow down, discover what’s around them, be more aware of their current experiences in the here and now, and even experience thoughts (which may be unpleasant) in a calm mental state.
The Wanderlust Festival aims to bring that spirit of being to the masses.
