Stratton, Vermont, and Squaw Valley have more in common than just stunning views. This year, we hung out with Amanda Giacomini (of 10,000 Buddhas) at Wanderlust to launch our ODE x 10,000 Buddhas Ritual Wellness Kit collaboration!
In Stratton, we fully immersed ourselves in the Wanderlust experience with high-energy yoga classes (with MC Yogi and 10,000 Buddhas), restorative walking meditation adventures, gondola rides, and meetings with other incredible yoga and wellness brands such as Health-Ade Kombucha, Hippeas, I Am Earthbound, La Croix, and LOVEthirteen.
Day two of the trip was unseasonably cold for late June. Luckily, Stratton is a ski town, and all cold-weather gear was marked down. So we bundled-up in clearance winter hats and jackets along with our 10,000 Buddhas scarves for the day!
Our booth was stocked with plenty of our ritual wellness kits: for love, for peace, and for health. Amanda offered ritual blessings to those who stopped by.
Perfect for the chilly weather, we gave our hyper-hydrating ODE Olive Oil Lip Balm to anyone who visited our booth.
Both at her talk and at the tent, Amanda educated attendees about the benefits of the ritual wellness kits. We got to meet some of Amanda’s yoga students, friends, and her husband – MC Yogi – who also taught classes and hosted book signings at our booth!
The weekend was packed with lots of yoga, many memories, and of course, our McEvoy Ranch Rosebud Rosé was a fixture in our condo and helped to provide late-night laughs.
We had an equally incredible time on the West Coast in Squaw Valley. Right next to our booth stood Amanda’s 10,000 Buddhas travelling mural. It was amazing to see yogis strike poses in front of the iconic piece of art while showcasing our ODE x 10,000 Buddhas Ritual Wellness Kits adorned with the Amanda’s signature aesthetic.
Overall, our time at Wanderlust was nothing short of inspirational. We can’t wait to go back next year!
Until then, if you want to hang out with Amanda, join her (and us!) at Mohonk Mountain House, September 6–8, for a Ritual Wellness Weekend. The weekend is sure to be packed with creativity, mindfulness, and serenity.
