Soul Travel: Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle & Esalen

August 22, 2023

Check out my Soul Travel KTLA feature including Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and Esalen.

Burning Man

Burning Man, an event held annually the week before Labor Day in Black Rock City which is a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert about 100 miles northeast of Reno. The festival is focused on community, art, self-expression and self-reliance with over 70,000 attendees. Definitely a must for soul travel.

Lightning in a Bottle

Lightning in a Bottle is an annual music festival held just a few hours north of LA in the Central Valley region of California. The festival features music performances, guest speakers, visual and interactive art installations, yoga classes and other attractions. I would say LIB is a Burning Man-lite soul travel adventure.

Esalen

Esalen is a world renowned holistic learning and leading global retreat center and non-profit institution for guests to explore and realize their human potential through experience, education and research.

All three of these experiences are perfect if you are looking for soul travel.
