Pink Plankton

Envision Festival takes place annually in Uvita, Costa Rica.  This four-day transformational festival  takes place in a beautiful tropical setting, literally where the rain forest meets the ocean.  I could go on and on about how amazing it is,  but I'll let the photos do the talking...
