It's been a bit of a turbulent year
and if you're feeling the strain,
maybe now is the time to visit the
happiest country in the world.
Envisions Festival returns to Costa Rica, the
happiest and greenest country on the planet, this
coming February.
Envisions is a hub of art and spirituality with
yoga, music, educational activities and a focus on
sustainability to help party goers connect with
nature, the planet and its inhabitants.
Headlining acts include a rare performance by
bassy Opiuo with Chicago live dance music trio

are taking over the Sol Stage with their unique
voices and empowering lyrics. Canadian deep
house duo Blond:ish will provide some house and
techno business and Berlin underground legend
Acid Pauli, renowned for his ultra-eclectic marathon
sets also joins the bill.
Yoga, art and education are at the centre of
Envisions and the inspiring line up of yoga
instructors, educators, art installations and creatives
create the festival and cement the space as a
place various cultures to coexist in a sustainable
community. Envisions is our happy place.
