The next instalment of Wanderlust Festival, a global health and wellbeing event, kicks off at the Sunshine Coast's Novotel Twin Waters Retreat later this month. A four-day retreat and cultural festival billed as an "all-out celebration of mindful living", the Wanderlust Festival is a weekend of yoga, meditation, music, outdoor adventure and spectacular food that has been designed and curated for rookies, newcomers and experts alike. Explore or embrace your spiritual side while staying in luxurious resort accommodation at one of the Australia's most beautiful seaside locales.

TUNES

Dance and world music are the focus of Wanderlust's extensive music line-up. Electro-dance from Sneaky Sound System, world-infused house music from Dubarray and crusty Hawaiian surf-folk from Donavon Frankenreiter are just a few of the many performances from 16 musical acts over the festival. Those feeling especially inspired by the musical experience can start their own musical journey with drumming, guitar and music-themed lessons and workshops running all across weekend.

YOGA & MEDITATION

Yoga and meditation are the festival's true focus, with world class yoga instructors, enlightenment lectures and workshops on holistic living from all corners of the globe being a central component of all Wanderlust Festivals worldwide. Blend into a class of hundreds at the outdoor yoga venue, or take in an intimate indoor session featuring live musicians and DJs, creating an atmosphere and community for yogis that is unobtainable anywhere else.

GETTING OUTDOORS

Venture into the spectacular outdoor spaces of the Sunshine Coast with activities such as hiking, surfing and dance (or even circus lessons for the less adventurous attendee), with instructors and classes ready so that no first-timers will be left out. With the venue choice of a four-star resort, there will be plenty of room for activities. Stand-up paddle-boarding ('SUP' as the Wanderlust crew refer to it) will be the star outdoor activity of the festival, with daily stand-up paddle-boarding yoga classes from two different expert trainers.

FOOD & DRINK

Indulge in the finest local foods that the Sunshine Coast has to offer, with a specialty focus on organic delicacies, local and sustainable produce and craft wine and beer aiming to bring all that outer-wellbeing inside as well. Whether grabbing a snack to-go from one of the many hand-picked vendors or sitting down for a feast the Farm To Table Dinner, the Wanderlust Festival will leave no stomach yearning even after a full day of SUP, yoga and dancing to the festival's many musical guests.
