There are a lot of festivals popping up at the moment, but Wanderlust’s ‘True North’ Festival is something a lil’ different to what we usually see in the big city. Think mass mediation and yoga classes, curated market stalls, and a bunch of wellness talks all geared towards helping you tap into your shiniest and healthiest self. We’re into it.
On September 23, Sydney will become host to a huge afternoon of mass yoga, meditation and visionary speakers (including Melissa Ambrosini), as well as a whole lot of live music by the one and only Xavier Rudd.
This extremely wholesome day of music, wellness and happy community connection will go down at Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay, and will be hosted by author, podcaster and proud Yorta Yorta woman Allira Potter, who is promising a “sassy and spiritual” backing voice to all those embarking on the True North journey. You’ll get to do a mass yoga class led by Lara Zilibowitz, all set to live tunes by Nick Broadhurst (fret not, the class will be adaptable for everyone from beginners to the most seasoned yogis).
You’ll get to listen to an enlightening talk about the nine pillars of health, happiness and longevity by Melissa Ambrosini and Nick Broadhurst, learn about mind power, gut health and plant healing from Lola Berry, meditate with Irish mass meditation teacher, Susan Quirke, and (last, but not least) dance to a 75-minute live performance sung by legendary Aussie muso Xavier Rudd.
True North will also be going down in Melbourne on September 16 in Carlton’s Royal Exhibition Building, and also on the Gold Coast on September 21 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Broadbeach. (PSA: attendees in Queensland can also expect to see legendary surfer/shark lord Mick Fanning talking IRL.)
