Get Sustainably Weird in Costa Rica at Envision Festival

In case you missed the memo: Hippie shit is hip as fuck now.

Oh, so you think we're a bunch of jaded city slickers who are out of touch with nature and only care about techno and don't recycle and think the flower of life is a sexual euphemism? You're wrong. All you have to do to make THUMPsters care about each other and the Earth is start an awesome music festival in the jungles of Costa Rica. We'll even take our shirts off if you give us enough hallucinogens!

"Envision is an annual gathering in Costa Rica that seeks to provide a platform for different cultures to inspire one another to co-create sustainable community and practice yoga, spirituality, art, music, dance performance, education and acknowledge our fundamental connection with nature," says founder Justin Brothers.

'At the festival's core, the Envision organizers are leaders of a sustainable permaculture movement that is blossoming throughout Costa Rica. With initiatives such as banning single use tableware in lieu of bamboo and banana leaf alternatives, a festival wide composting system, green building and multiple spaces dedicated entirely to environmental education, it is clear that the intention runs deep. "

More from Brothers:
"Our goal is that the amount of attention we pour into every aspect of user experience within our jungle paradise is realized in every inch of our beach-front community that will come alive February 26th - March 1st 2015. Our focus on sustainability, art, sacred movement, culture, education and world music along with the natural majestic beauty of Costa Rica insures that Envision is nothing like anyone has ever seen. This is why we live by the phrase 'Vive La Experiencia' or 'Live the Experience'. You just need to experienceEnvision.. there's no other way to put it. "

"By bringing people together through music, art and sacred movement Envision presents opportunities to celebrate our spirit, heal our bodies and minds, and revitalize our souls to face the challenges and realize the opportunities of our rapidly changing world."

Next year's festival takes place from February 26th to March 1st.
