Every year around the end of February there is a great music festival in Uvita, Costa Rica that is called Envision. What I love about this event is that in addition to great international music and emerging artists, there is a very strong environment and spiritual vision behind, they offer workshops inviting experts to talk, and it becomes an opportunity to raise the awareness of the visitors as well as the local people on important concepts such permaculture and self empowerment. For instance, the day before the opening of the festival they promoted a permaculture action day, during which volunteers - me included ;) - worked on turning the back yards of three local schools into permaculture food forests, sharing with the locals this holistic approach to agriculture, and listening to their wisdom as well. This year the festival sold out so if you want to go next year book in advance!

I recently led a Yoga Retreat at OMV Volunteer Center, a Permaculture Eco Village in Costa Rica, by the Osa peninsula, Pacific Coast. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in learning about permaculture, sustainable living, and in an immersion in the Jungle life. Accomodation was incredibly comfortable, with large tents - bigger than my bedroom in NY!- sealed and clean so no bugs inside, comfy real beds, hot water, and a friendly familiar atmosphere! Stay tuned: I have the feeling I will lead more yoga retreats there! ;) |
