F*ck the Blueprint! Ankati Day’s Journey From Costa Rican Jungles to Hosting Portsmouth's Best (and Most Bizarre) Saturday Night Out
Ankati Day gave up the blueprint.
After years spent searching for her purpose in the deep woods of The White Mountains, the open fields of Missoula, Mont., and the jungles of Costa Rica, the now-yoga teacher eventually returned home to Maine with the realization that the linear path society bred her to take was simply not for her.
From Shiloh Farm in Eliot, Maine, host Troy Farkas sits down with Ankati to candidly discuss her many lives, and how the road led her to become a spiritual force in the area. Plus, Troy tells Ankati about his bizarre experience at her ecstatic dance, and why modalities like ecstatic dance may just be the cure to some of society's problems.
