ABOUT US, YOUR HOSTS:

Hi! We’re Dustin & Noami. We’ve been cruisin’ the American open road for the past three years in our ‘85 Westy called Irie. Six months into life on the road, we found ourselves outside of Yellowstone National Park feeling lonely, lost, and ready to give up. Then we heard about a “van gathering” up in Bend, OR, and we figured “why not.” That’s where we found community on the road. We’re so excited to host our first van gathering and bring together like-minded individuals, forge friendships and build community in one of our favorite places in the world!

About the Gathering
Join us for a weekend-long campout in the high desert mesa of Hotel Luna Mystica, a private venue with plenty of stars and space. Under the open sky, we’ll enjoy workshops and music, community and natural beauty.

This weekend is a welcoming, friendly space where vanlifers can gather to share, learn, and deepen our community. Today, much of our interaction happens online, but this weekend in Taos, we’ll circle our modern-day covered wagons to share our skills and stories face-to-face, while doing what we love in the outdoors—and checking out each other’s rigs, of course!

There will be live music and a potluck, van-related workshops and time for informal chatting. Between the natural beauty of Hotel Luna Mystica and all of the qualified, passionate presenters we have lined up, we’re all in for a weekend to remember.

At the beautiful
Hotel Luna Mystica

The Venue: Hotel Luna Mystica
Somehow everything seems closer at the Mystica. 12-plus acres of mesa, 10 vintage trailers, 60 campsites, one planet, one moon, a gazillion stars. Head out of Taos and aim for the Rio Grande, turn right at the friendly lights over the Taos Mesa Brewery. The adventure awaits. Disconnect, and reconnect with your natural self. Restore your balance. This is a place of opportunity and tranquility. Community and solitude. Outer space and inner peace. Test yourself. Rest yourself. Reclaim yourself. Experience nature without the hassle.

With Kit Whistler & J.R. Switch
of Idle Theory Bus

Your Hosts
Kit Whistler and JR Switchgrass of have been traveling the backroads of America full time for 7 years in their VW bus named Sunshine. They have loved watching the Vanlife community grow from a tiny, separate group of individuals to a robust community of radicals out to change the world. Kit is a writer, JR a photographer and videographer, and together they create art about what they find out there down the nowhere roads they love so well. You can follow their work on Idle Theory Bus and check out the book they published. They cannot wait to meet you all in Taos this August!

Your Ticket Gives Back

Giving Back to Our Public Lands...and Learning in the Process
10% of proceeds from the event will be donated to the Conservation Lands Association—but that’s not all. We are thrilled to announce that the Conservation Lands team will be presenting workshops at our gathering. We hope to cover a variety of pertinent topics, including tips on how to navigate the complex world of Public Land designations as well as tactical advice for how we, as lovers and users of these wild places, can become involved in protecting them for future generations. Conservation Lands Foundation is grassroots-run, and they believe that our vanlife community can truly make a difference in the world of public lands.

All Are Welcome

This is an all-inclusive event and we invite everyone to attend. Vans, buses, trucks, cars, motorbikes, swags, RVs, and bikes are welcome! Bring what ya got, and be prepared for three days of fun! The only requirement is that you pack a wide-open mind, a burning passion for alternative ways of living, and a desire to meet a whole lot of interesting people.

The Vanlife Community

We are part of a growing community that is passionate about van travel in wild places. Some “Vanlifers,” as we’re called, live in their vans full time. Some of us weekend warriors who venture out to climb or snowboard on weekends. Others take a seasonal approach, taking an extended road trip or vacation centered around vehicle travel, instead of flying to some far-off destination seeking adventure.
At the heart of our vanlife community is a commitment to simplicity and a love of nature, a commitment to camping and a welcoming environment.
Our hope is that, throughout the weekend, we can take our online conversations into a physical space. Each of us has unique talents to offer, and we’ll gather together to share them freely, along with conversation, art, laughter, and stories. There’ll be campfires for warming our fingers and early mornings for visiting and learning about each other’s rigs. Here’s to friends, both new and old. 

Weekend Happenings

Live Music by Ira Wolf

Meet Ira: Singer, Songwriter, Vanlifer
Hailing from the mountains of Montana, and making a home in Nashville, TN, Ira Wolf's music and writing is vulnerable and honest. With three studio albums to share, Ira has performed on stages across the US, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia since she began touring in 2014. She draws from personal experience, and connects on an intimate level with her audience through her honest lyrics and melancholy vocals. With roots in folk, Americana and bluegrass genres, Ira has found a unique sound that resonates with an eclectic listening crowd. 

Although Ira continues to make Nashville her home-base, she maintains a life on the road when she's not recording and has been a part of the growing 'vanlife' community since 2016. She released her highly anticipated third album 'The Closest Thing To Home' in 2017 and spent the majority of 2018 touring the U.S. Ira has no plans to slow down anytime soon and continues writing and performing both inside the states and overseas. She recently partnered with GoWesty for the second time and continues traveling in her beloved 1988 VW Westfalia (Ruby) full-time.

In this talk, Kit will explain the main tenets of Idle Theory, and will give tips for how you can incorporate idleness into your everyday life, especially when traveling and living out of a vehicle.

Mental Health Tarot Reading with Lyn Sweet

Lyn started to live/travel in a van because it seemed like her last resort to saving her sanity. Nothing Lyn was doing at the time was helping her get out of rock bottom. She needed to do something drastic. Since living in a van, a lot of old issues seemed to dissipate. Although new issues surfaced. Lyn wanted to make a "tarot" style card deck to bring awareness to mental health and how our demons are merely just creatures that need love and attention. If we name them and recognize why they're there, it's much easier to step forward into healing them. We all struggle with demons whether its loneliness, depression, trauma, self-hate, anxiety, stress....and Lyn wants to put a face to these and illustrate the other side to them. There's always a light wherever there is darkness. Lyn is providing an open discussion in a safe environment where we can voice our demons and share what ways traveling has healed or hindered them.

Group Float/Water Volleyball

Come gather by the Roaring Fork river and cool off. Bring your tubes, inflatable rafts, or whatever you got! We will also be playing water volleyball and swimming in the summer sun.

Maker’s Meetup with Debbie Hoak

Debbie will host Makers' Meetups so people can work on their hobbies together and share their passions. Debbie will be teaching knitting/crocheting to anyone who wants to learn or upgrade their skills.

Vanlife Q&A with Vanlife Diaries Crew

Raffle

Mental Health Soup Fundraiser with Jared Melrose & Ash Butler

We would like to invite you to come and share soup with us as we raise funds for a mental health nonprofit organization. Mental health affects us all in some way and creating awareness and support for others is something we take seriously and deeply care about.
