UVITA, COSTA RICA — It’s confirmed Envision Festival to return to Costa Rica on February 21-25th, 2018. To compliment the announcement, the Envision Festival aftermovie from 2017 illustrates the mission this event strived for since its inception in 2010. By focusing on its eight pillars Education, Movement, Art, Ecobuild, Health, Community, Permaculture, and Spirituality, Envision travelers may encounter a new global frontier aimed at redefining and reimagining the human experience.
In Stephen Brooks, Co-Founder of Envision Festival’s own words:
“The eight pillars are designed first as a deep reflection of who we as the Envision founders are, and second what Envision is as an organization. We are here living in harmony with nature in Costa Rica and these pillars do not just define the festival, but the lives we strive to lead year round.
At its core, Envision is designed to emulate the permaculture community of our dreams. The pillars are the aspects of our lives we value the most, and would like to see become the backbone of the community we are building. The heart of the venue is our Village green, where attendees can find local organic food, fair trade artisan crafts, education centers, herbal medicine workshops, and integrated family activities, we want them to ask themselves how they can design their lives to make this community a perpetual reality.
All of the pillars merged together creates a feeling. What Envision seeks to offer is a balanced option of what we value most. It’s not a music festival, or a yoga festival, or a surf camp or an educational conference, but it is all of those things. We urge attendees to explore all these aspects.
Bringing the depth and magic of festival culture to Costa Rica was one of the main reasons we began this journey. We continue to pursue this important mission, spreading consciousness and innovative ideas of our vision for the way the world can be.”
Envision Festival aims to spread innovative ideas and build consciousness through music, thought leading panels and workshops, and mind-easing meditation and yoga to make their harmonious community into a lasting reality. It is with the future of the world in mind that this pivotal event drives forward into its 2018 edition, calling upon the world’s thinkers and doers to gather and help permeate its message worldwide.
