BRADLEY, CALIF. — Pictured is Lightning in a Bottle music festival at Lake San Antonio May 23-28, 2018. The nearly week-long event combines music with family activities and something called the Wisdom Council this year.

The Wisdom Council is a learning experience led by revered elders and mentors from the world’s most cherished traditions and lineages where guests “relearn to listen to the voices of the Earth.”

That’s great timing as the likes of Elon Musk are warning that the robots taking our jobs and moving into our homes may kick us out one day. Can they listen to the earth and hear its voices?
