Purpose unifies our hearts and minds, giving us a collective vision bigger than ourselves to work towards and build together. We’ve dug deep to identify what calls to us as a mission for a better world:
Awaken the self to a higher consciousness in alignment with the natural harmony.
Our Calling is at once specific and open for interpretation. It isn’t meant to mean just one thing; it is meant to mean as many things are there are people courageous enough to try it on.
It is our honor and privilege to welcome you to back to the fifth year at our home, Rancho La Merced, outside Uvita in Costa Rica. Perfectly perched at the junction where the rainforest connects with pristine tropical beach, Rancho la Merced is everything that we could ask for and the true jewel of our invitation to Costa Rica. While just a short, two minute walk to the surf of Playa Hermosa, Rancho la Merced stands as a testament to the glory of Costa Rica’s untamed natural beauty presenting a jungle environment that can only exist here. As always, the real headliner for Envision will be awaiting you over the horizon, the beach being the favorite gathering place for each sunset of the event.
Envision takes place in the ‘Southern Zone’ of the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. A truly magical place where the rain forested mountains meet the warm pacific ocean. The zone exemplifies exotic paradise – boasting a wealth of adventure and exploration amidst verdant jungle and warm ocean waters. As the most biodiverse place on Earth, it literally buzzes with life. The people here are gracious and friendly, making it easy to get around, find what you need, and experience the local culture. Pura Vida!

Music
We take sound sound seriously. The dance floor is our temple. With each stage a sculptural masterpiece and Funktion-One sound system sending chills through your body, we spend the entire year masterfully crafting an all-night jungle beach celebration you’ll never forget. Some sounds blast you away, while others will hug you closely. It’s crisp and holographic. Come prepared for a deep journey designed to invigorate all your senses.

You are apart of something bigger. Discover the community you always knew existed – brought together by all of our similarities, and transformed by all of our differences.

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE
Come as you are, leave as you want to be. We know our paths emerge from different directions, and we respect the stories and experiences that make us who we are now. No matter where we come from, or how our paths intertwine, we’re all about progressive inclusion.
Envision Festival and Rancho La Merced would like to thank you for helping to keep Envision a conscious and progressive gathering, by maintaining awareness throughout the event about your impact to this beautiful land on which Envision is held. Envision is a Leave No Trace event, and we therefore always leave the land in as good if not better condition than we found it.
We are always working hard to find ways to permanently support the community of Uvita that has received us in such an amazing way. Every year we do our best to improve the community and work together with the people of Uvita to help it reach its full potential.
