We’re excited to announce the release of our first white paper on conscious media, “The Explosion of Conscious Media.” This paper was developed in partnership with premier Conscious Media content provider, GaiamTV.com, and details the explosive growth and continued integration of Conscious Media into mainstream media and culture.
Leveraging the sparks & honey proprietary trend-spotting methodology, the white paper contains in-depth content analysis, Conscious Media expert interviews and the study of more than 1,800 consciousness influencers including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle and Jay Weidner.
The study forecasts that the expansion of Conscious Media will prompt rapid growth in audience interest, inciting the marketplace to respond with more compelling conscious content over the next five years.

The premium player in the category is GaiamTV, which curates and aggregates over 5000 videos from approximately 750 sources for a monthly subscription fee of $9.95. Though Netflix subscribers can access an assortment of high-quality films in the Faith and Spirituality category and YouTube boasts a Spirituality Channel with over 400,000 videos in it, these videos run the gamut from the truly spiritual to the simply random.
