[@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

As much as I really enjoyed this video, I feel like she brought a completely unnecessary attitude/energy to the festival. I understand that spirituality is not for everyone but if it is her job to document something that is new to her, she should at least keep an open mind and try to enjoy the experience. Everyone there seemed extremely kind, loving and full of positivity and light. We only have one life to live and being able to journey and have wonderful experiences as part of your job is a blessing!

[@wookusmaximus8107]

Shania Dineley if there was anything logical about what they were doing then I'm sure it would have changed her mind. Just because people are pseudo happy and positive there does not mean it isn't a crock of shit.

[@CosmicFishy]

Nothing spiritual about this lame display. These people are so lost. You don’t need to go to the jungle in Costa Rica, stay up all night with fire dancers and LED hula hoopers, and take drugs to make excessively long hugs with strangers. This kind of thing is for lost souls. The answers are all within you. You need only search within yourself. Everything else is a magicians trick.

[@CosmicFishy]

Shania Dineley Perhaps you’re right. I used to live in the jungle in Costa Rica and perhaps just had a lot of experience seeing so many “soul searching” hippies cross my path who overexperimented with drugs and just didn’t seem firmly rooted in reality or grounded within themselves. It can be unsettling to be around. Love and let live, but these are my opinions :)

This girl is so negative and awkward - every one she interviewed picked up on her energy. Even the title of this video is clickbait and stereotypical "craziest hippie festival". Would have liked to seen an open minded journalist cover this in a completely different way.

[@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 ❤️

Obsidian Wildfire “White people devoid of culture”? Almost all significant literature, all classical music, almost all significant paintings, all modern philosophy, democracy, science, inventions.... was by Caucasians. The trouble is not skin colour. The trouble is that western civilisation has been successfully infested with socialism which has led to a total loss of values. No one is ashamed of shameless behaviour. We have no morals. Drugs are everywhere and used in all layers of society. The institution of family has nearly disappeared and been replaced by promiscuous lifestyles. The governments have taken people’s freedom away and now pays for stupid people to multiply with multiple partners. Just like children seek boundaries, immature minds go to extremes in search of boundaries.

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.
