10 YEARS OF GROWTH, EVOLUTION AND COMMUNITY
WE ARE A FESTIVAL | WE ARE A CELEBRATION | WE ARE A MESSAGE | WE ARE A MOVEMENT
Envision's mission is to create an eye-opening experience that turns us onto a new form of living; a new way to be inspired. To provide tools that can be integrated into the life we are already living or to inspire a complete shift in our life path. The connection to nature can be felt in every aspect of Envision and the ripple effect of what people then take away from the festival is much more potent than just a good party.
Whether you're zipping through the jungle canopy, feeling the rush of a cool splash from a waterfall, catching your first wave, or ascending a misty mountain peak – Costa Rica not only packs an epic adventure; it reconnects you to the raw force of nature that awakens your inner wild. In moving toward a 7 day event, we invite you to take it easy, explore the area, maximize your experience, and truly root down into your being. Your illuminated presence in the world is needed now more than ever.
LEARN MOREWe promote regenerative solutions so guests depart with the tools and inspiration to integrate sustainable practices into their own lives, businesses and communities. There is no finish line on the road to sustainability and a thriving ecosystem. It is our responsibility to weigh each step we take with the impact it has on this planet.
We promote conversation about how best to apply modern and ancient practices, to heal ourselves, while prioritizing the sustainability of the planet.
Through the practice of yoga, dance, martial arts and other sacred movement, we reinforce the connection of mind, body and spirit while building community and personal connection. We believe these experiences directly empower action and activism in the world.
We invite thought-leaders and change-makers to represent each of our pillars. We believe in a holistic education, in order to inspire each and every one of us to create the world we envision. We all have room to grow and approach education with humility.
Living is an art form. At Envision we curate a 360 degree immersive art environment that blends the edges of the canvas with the world around it. Through art, we inspire and promote radical self-expression in harmony with nature.
We deliver cutting edge music that blends genres and creates a positive and interactive dance floor experience. Our focus is to remove borders and genre limitations; to open hearts and expand minds.
We acknowledge the interconnectedness of all beings and all things. We create a safe space to share knowledge and ideas that inspire the awakening and expansion of consciousness without being dogmatic or exclusive.
In 2020 we started our foundation, Somos El Cambio, to further strengthen and organize Envision's impact initiatives, primarily focused around environmental preservation and restoration.
We are hyper effective with our resources through educating and empowering the local community, leveraging volunteer programmes and collaborating with both governmental and for-profit organisations.
We firmly believe that this will not only bridge the gap between the public and private sector, but also serve as an inspiration for how others can impact the local community where they live.
AGF Assessor Summary: “Envision Festival has excelled in terms of Local Community Impacts, Management Systems and External Reach and Behavioural Change [...] The Eco-Hub, the volunteers and the Sustainable Dish program worked together to keep the site incredibly clean at all times. The tree planting ceremony and the beach clean-up are such terrific ways of enhancing the local ecosystem [...] The procurement policies were admirable, with the vast majority of all consumables obtained fairly and sustainably from the local community, and emphasis on "Maker to Consumer". The impact that that festival has had on the municipality with regard to upgrading the water infrastructure and educating them in safe event systems was excellent. The Envision management team are thinking and acting in many ways to become fully sustainable and Earth Positive.”
