Lightning In A Bottle’s Path To Enlightenment

Lightning In A Bottle Festival

Enlightenment Now: Culinary arts demos are among the more than one-hundred non-music events programmed for this year’s Lightning In A Bottle festival.

This Memorial Day weekend, Lightning in a Bottle returns to Bradley, Calif, with such well-curated music acts as Anderson .Paak, The Glitch Mob and Fever Ray among others. But for many of the roughly 20,000 festivalgoers this unique boutique fest produced by Do LaB offers a higher purpose: Enlightenment. This ever-elusive goal can be achieved, at least in part, with LIB’s roughly 100+ transformational lectures, workshops and discussions on the fest’s Compass & Learning Kitchen peninsula.  Curated in partnership with Indigenous Environmental Network, Life-Force Academy and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies among others, LIB’s wide-ranging “Learning & Culture” programming runs the gamut from Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman to global meditation to a discussion “acknowledging and accepting the extraterrestrial” and far more. Here then is a sampling of the weekend’s non-music offerings.
