Lightning in a Bottle is much more than just music: Awaken your spirit at the Lucent Temple of Consciousness, a place dedicated to enriching the mind and body, with talks, yogis, and a plethora of educational workshops. A stroll to The Village leads participants to an interactive, intergenerational and education-based environment focused on creating a, “sustainable, thriving interdependent community that honors the elements, ancestors, and the cycles of the natural world.” Immersive environments, such as the Grand Artique, Jive Joint, or Amori’s Casino & Burlesque spring to life with collaborative art installations and entertainment.
The festival has received A Greener Festival’s Outstanding Award five years running for its healthy food vendors, free water stations, composting and recycling infrastructure, a “Leave No Trace” policy and other green initiatives that continue to grow year after year.
