She shares about her experience at the music festival Lightning in a Bottle, including maintaining uncomfortable eye contact during yoga, deep conversations with a hippie, a near catastrophe from dry ice, epiphanies while dancing, the saving grace of a saltine, playing Frick Frack Blackjack, and the sheer bliss of turning off your phone and being present in the desert.
