Hello, Bases & Flyers!

Access the full calendar + insider deals password: acro123.

Tomorrow, I surreally hit country number 70, heading back into proper middle-of-nowhere Tajikistan nature. Very ready to be somewhere not 43C, mountainous, and inconvenient to reach.

So this week, we’re back with the July Related Festivals to look beyond acro and into the neighboring movement worlds: handstands, circus, juggling, flow arts, yoga, music, conscious gatherings, and all the little festival side quests that make summer more fun.

So expect in today’s issue:

  • 🗓️ All Events Coming Up Soon (July 14 – August 3)

  • ✈️ Plan Ahead: Related Movement Festivals through September

  • 🌍 Beyond Acro: Cultural Festivals to Catch in August

  • 🧳 My Favorite Travel Tools
