The Craziest Hippie Festival in the Jungle

Not satisfied with the traditional festival mission of getting off your nut, there is a new wave of event which claims to transform your body and soul.
VICE's Amelia Dimoldenberg is invited deep into the jungles of Costa Rica to attend Envision Festival, on a quest to rid herself of her chronic awkwardness and open her third eye through bitcoin conferences, Buddhist drum circles and vaginal eggs.

She needs to get laid, smoke some dmt, and let go of herself. She seems so uptight and has no idea how to relax I feel sorry for her actually and hope shes able to not be such a lop because she's no one special. She needs to embrace her opportunities of life outside of corporate/ media stricken life..

She's is sooo dead and ignorant inside .... Why would you guys choose her to cover this festival? ...or was that the reason why u sent her.... hoping it would make great content? ROFL I hope reading these comments changes her life a bit.

[@ywamdan408]

they picked the worst person to go to this festival

[@ceciliahuizar4695]

I thought that at first, but her perspective as an "ctiy girl outsider" puts a unique twist to this reporting of the festival. It's rewarding to finally see one form of her self peek through at the end. She did not give a negative comment whatsoever about the festival or the people. The negativity was always towards herself and her comfort (or lack thereof). But this is just like city folk, they have a hard exterior and are not likely to get touchy feely whether it's emotionally or physically

love the contrast between narrator and setting. she shows the festival through the amateur's eye who is simply not accustomed to festival reality. its done both sarcastically and realistically and then the character slightly melts as she finds her way to connect and flow and does not feel so weird anymore. this is like a bridge between industrial polluted jungle rigidity and egoless freedom of the festival jungle. thank you!

[@iasminrios2377]

hell yes... thank you, this girl is completely blocked! OOk i get it, she was """trying"" to unblock. But she was kinda agressive energy-wise with every person she talked to, and she mocked basically everything the festival had to offer, like reconnection with nature, dance, yoga, breathing, anything really... and that just sucks, like leave bro.. if u dont have the capacity to accept transformation by any means.

[@tremblence]

Well said, terrible title and she basically gave the public what they wanted to see I guess. I've been to Envision 4 years now starting in 2012 when it was very small, not as Yuppy and Corporate as it is today. Not to be negative but it started out way more grassroots, hippis and free-minded individuals coming together in a beautiful place to explore community, friendship, art, sustainability and general oneness with eachother and Earth. People were more focused on providing fruit to eachother in the tropical heat than trying to turn a dollar. Inevitably festivals grow and people find out they can turn a pretty penny by expanding it and having more artists, more vendors, higher prices, luxury VIP options etc and you end up with a bit of a watered down experience due to all the People showing up for the hype- to party or take selfies and or have that experience. There are still amazing people that come and I still love this festival- bass, palm trees, surfing and Costa Rican culture. Now, I just hope people support the locals by staying at their hostels and buying their food, and yeah the video was garbage no offense way too much focus on being "that" video with sarcastic comments and too shallow to really get at the beautiful chaos & chemistry that magically happens at conscious gatherings like this.

[@hollywilliams2509]

I thought she was brilliant! She has a dry sense of humour which is very British. I wonder if Louis Theroux would get the same unkind reception if he did this. She was open to new experience and tried everything to the best of her ability. I liked the juxtaposition between her reporting style and festival goers. Just because you perceive someone to be less 'spiritually enlightened' because they don't act the same as you doesn't mean that's the case. Maybe she's a devout Buddhist and meditates every day! I find it strange how so many 'spiritually woke' people on here are super judgemental.

[@arthursevergnini8533]

Kelly Rose I think it was interesting. Because it explicitly shows the contrast of the western mindset to the spiritual soul. It was awkward because it is awkward for someone who has no knowledge to this kind of lifestyle. So I think it’s a pretty mind opening documentary, though it would also be great to see someone who was actually opened to the experience. Much love ❤️

Lol, now I just feel bad. I can understand that this is t her thing. It if she's going to document her experience, she should try a little harder. So she's not wasting her time or the people who invited her.

Not to this one. Back in the day before kids, we would make the drive to burning man. If she's going to go to these, she should be a little more opened minded. Otherwise she should make videos on other topics.

[@gonzpalacios7290]

the man in the joker outfit is spot on. You can't just put on clothes and think that your going to understand better for your report. You gotta humble yourself in order to grow. And if you cant let go of your status and everything you bring from the society you came from, your not making the most out of your time there. Your not better than anyone else there. Its up to you to grow. And im from the hood, i ain't been there or anywhere like it but I bet you if the whole world did this once a year, allot of the issues we all face as a global community, many of them wouldn't exist. Just humble yourself and open your self up to God and use your head to envision what you think is best for yourself which should benefit our global community. We are all in this together, We are all one family, like it or not, its up to all of us to change for the better and do our part to support our global family which includes all life on this planet. We are the cause of the illness on this planet. And like it or not there is no other place outside of Earth that we can move to. God bless you.

[@calscottoh]

I went to a smaller version on this in the Arizona desert 3 months ago and stayed for 2 months. During the day I went to the town to do other things but at night I would head to the desert for some action. Lots of different campfire gathers drum beating and thousands of pee spots everywhere. I had my camper, so about 3 a.m., I would take off to my own spot. I was originally in that town for a gem and mineral show that starts Jan 1st and ends on Feb 28th. I didn't participate in the desert circle dancing or anything like that. I mostly observed and met a lot of people. I left about 3 weeks ago and am back home now.

I'm glad her attitude improved the second day, at least.

i think you guys are missing the point - if she arrived at the festival ready to go the piece wouldn't be able to develop - they're showing the transformation of a city girl who was skeptical, learning over the few days she was there that being an open minded tripper may have its benefits...the only downfall of this film is they dont really bring it home too well....but yeah....sending a hippy to an island of hippies....well that wouldnt really have much room to grow would it ;)
