Envision

Envision is considered one of the most famous festivals in Costa Rico. While many festivals profess to care about the environment with token activities such as recycling, Envision was actually founded to bring together like-minded people in a celebration of nature and spirituality. While the festival is primarily about music, it also includes a full schedule of yoga classes, workshops, speakers, and other educational opportunities.

The festival is built on eight pillars, all of which are critical to its success and sustainability: permaculture, spirituality, movement, art, music, community, health, and eco-building. The latter point is very important in terms of festival planning, as the festival strives to be a "Leave No Trace" event. As a large gathering, this necessitates both attendee dedication and a significant amount of instruction on the part of organizers.

Envision has steadily established a name among yoga aficionados, music fans, and others interested in the alternative, "green" lifestyle, both in Costa Rica and globally. In keeping with the community focus, the programming incorporates both foreign and local artists and speakers, resulting in a truly Costa Rican experience.
