Told in one sentence, the story sounds surreal: A young man hears a mystical voice in the Amazon, so he decides to walk 2,650 miles to raise money to build a stone temple in the Costa Rican rainforest, all the while carrying a crystal skull from Peru.
Thousands of worldly travelers seeking transformation descended on the tiny Pacific coast town of Uvita, Costa Rica, last week to attend the fourth annual Envision Festival. They spent four days listening to live, pulsating music, dancing with abandon and making creative connections in a lush jungle setting on the shore. In keeping with tradition, we present you with some of the things we overheard at Envision:
Envision Festival 2014 has kicked off at Rancho La Merced, in Uvita, Costa Rica. The venue is new this year, with more shade as well as closer and easier access to the beach.
At the Envision Festival, a mini-Burning Man held for the third time last weekend in Uvita, on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, the sky opened up and dumped water on thousands of hippies who had come from all over the world.
