Happiness is a warm iPhone. 

Yoga mat, we mean.

Never mind, it’s not hard to get your priorities messed up in today’s world.

So imagine four whole days to drop off, tune in, recharge your batteries, and open your chakras when Byron’s Spirit Festival lands right here in Sydney.

Roll out your mat to downward dog with the Future Sound gurus, open your windpipes for a sound healing session, take a shamanic journey, and let your freak flag fly on the ecstatic dance floor (freeing your mind and body is easy when there’s no risk of it being documented on Instagram).

But hey, you can’t subsist on downward dogs alone. Health coach Sarah Jane Perman will be hosting smoothie workshops, and Jemma Gawned of Naked Treaties a ceremony of raw cacao, the modern yogi’s cold-pressed spirit bean.  

The most enlightening experiences don’t need an accompanying Facebook status update.
