# Sacred Communal Facilities The Temple at Lightning in a Bottle Fest is a Spiritual Space By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-03-16 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightning-in-a-bottle References: [lightninginabottle.org](http://lightninginabottle.org/experience/) & [2015.lightninginabottle.org](http://2015.lightninginabottle.org/the-temple/) The Temple of Consciousness at the Lightning in a Bottle Festival is a spiritual gathering place for healing and sanctuary. The Temple of Consciousness is a place for dance as well as quiet introspection, with a meditation deck on the top of the Temple. The Temple also plays host to the festival's lineup of speakers and workshops, including the Learning Kitchen nutrition programming. Lightning in a Bottle is a new age festival that seeks to enrich the body, mind and soul of all attendees. The festival takes place in the California desert and includes workshops on meditation, yoga, dance and other healing methods. While the Temple is a more extreme example given the theme of the festival, it is realistic to expect younger generations enthralled by new age attitudes toward self-care would be looking for a calming space to recharge during any festival. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spiritual Sanctuaries at Festivals:** Festivals can create spiritual spaces like the Temple of Consciousness to offer attendees a place to introspect and recharge. - **Holistic Health and Wellness Programming at Festivals:** Festivals can incorporate holistic health and wellness programming like the Learning Kitchen to attract younger generations interested in self-care. - **New Age Festival Experiences:** New age festivals like Lightning in a Bottle can provide attendees with a unique and enriching experience for the body, mind, and soul. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Festivals:** Music festivals can create spiritual spaces and incorporate holistic programming to enhance the overall experience for attendees. - **Wellness and Health:** The wellness and health industry can partner with festivals to provide programming and services to attendees interested in self-care and holistic health. - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can specialize in new age festival experiences that offer attendees a unique and enriching experience for the body, mind, and soul. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mental Relaxation Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis.md) - [Immersive Light Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lektrik-festival-of-lights.md) - [Sober Sauna Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sober-sauna.md) - [Comprehensive Self-Care Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellness-oasis.md) - [Multi-Faith Spiritual Temples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondenominational-temple.md) - [Festival-Ready Electrolyte Beverage Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrolit-campground.md) - [High-End Health-Focused Conferences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-assembly.md) - [Sustainable Public Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-9-festival.md) - [Metaverse Meditation Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alo-sanctuary.md)
