Our Vision
We are convinced that we, as humans, are part of a complex and interrelated web of life. We are connected to everything and everyone else on this planet. What we do to other beings, we in consequence do to ourselves. Therefore, in our perspective, individual well-being is closely intertwined with flourishing communities and healthy resilient ecosystems.
The regenerative abilities of ourselves, our relationships and the world as a whole go hand in hand.
In current times, humans have become a deeply destructive force on a massive global scale. At the same time, the knowledge and tools for the very much needed transformations are actually already there and in place. The multiple challenges on societal, environmental and economical levels seem to be connected by an underlying crisis of consciousness.
So how can we initiate real positive change? How can we act in life affirming ways and contribute to new ways of relating to the world?
In order to recultivate a sense of responsibility and commitment, we think we need to collectively return to meaningful relations towards ourselves, other living beings and the natural world in general. This planet, our home, needs conscious choices and actions more than ever. Like this, we believe, humans can truly contribute to sustainable and just systems - and flourish in their own purpose and talents themselves.
With the experiences and networks we have, we want to provide education and solutions to today's most urgent challenges. Our big Festival Retreat takes place once a year, and we also offer smaller events and retreats. There, we combine transformational learning journeys with music, art and joyful celebrations to create thriving communities. In the future we plan to build a more permanent infrastructure for societal transformation, such as online courses and retreat centers.
Pura Vida aims to explore new paths on how we relate to ourselves, to another and to the natural world. Our goal is to make the "better world our hearts know is possible'' experienceable. Change starts with a feeling.
And since the power of this can barely be described with words - maybe you would like to join us and experience it yourself?
