We are a festival | We are a celebration | We are a message | We are a movement
We are a concept of utopia; an example of a solution for the change this world desperately needs. Envision is an invitation; to awaken, to connect, to learn, and to inspire. In true collaboration with one another, together we Envision a new future.
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.
Our pillars represent our 7 key attributes that make up the holistic experience on which Envision is founded on. Click on each pillar in the pillar wheel to explore our values behind each of these attributes. We believe in well-balanced education and experience that is interconnected with our relationship to nature.
OUR EFFORTS IN 2020
In 2020 Envision Festival introduced “Somos El Cambio,” our non-profit association formed in the national register of Costa Rica. Through the creation of Somos El Cambio, Envision Festival aims to raise and channel funds towards projects that benefit the immediate community as well as Costa Rica nationally. Here are a few of the efforts we've coordinated over the last year:
RATED ¾ - “HIGHLY COMMENDED” IN 2020
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.”
Over the last 10 years we’ve been actively contributing to the local community and environment. From organizing local beach clean up efforts to bringing activism to the international stage, Envision's mission to bring a positive footprint towards the social, environmental and economical aspects of our local and international communities is an ongoing commitment to the enrichment of our planet. Here's what we've done so far (and we're just getting started!)
