In today's episode, we hear from Sarah Wu, a highly respected permaculturist & herbalist living and teaching in Costa Rica. I sat down with Sarah at the Envision Festival earlier this year to learn about some of the regenerative initiatives the festival has implemented as part of its mission.    Envision is a multi-day music festival with several stages and thousands of participants. By day, the focus is characterized by consciousness-raising workshops and presentations on permaculture, community-building, yoga, wellness, the embodiment of the divine masculine and feminine, and honor of indigenous ways. All this is presented with an overall theme of mindfulness and play.    By night, the arena becomes flooded by a secondary population of party-goers enjoying the many talented DJs and musicians playing on Envision's many stages. You can find everything from electronic music to jam bands and local folk artists to ecstatic dance on the padded yoga stage. The experience can be overwhelming for some, and advice should be heeded to pace yourself, hydrate, and wash your hands frequently.   The festival brings with it a significant impact on the local town of Uvita, both in the ways of a boosted economy as well as occasional exhausts of some of its more limited resources. Like with all things in life, there exists a dichotomy that the festival producers have worked to bring balance to over the years.    In our interview, beyond sharing details about the thousands of trees they've planted onsite, their extensive composting system, the no-single-use-dishware policy, and the education programs that Sarah has initiated through the Village Witches program, we touch on the reasons why Envision isn't using compost toilets anymore and what a future solution might look like.   One of my favorite parts of the interview is when we reflect on valuing each of our different niches in humanity's ecosystem.    Festivals of this size are here to stay, and they can prove to be a life-changing experience for many people. At the same time, many festivals can get a bad rap for the negative impact of so many people converging on an area for a short time. While the convergence has a temporary impact on the wildlife, for instance, it is worth recognizing that the food forest of this festival site was previously nothing more than a cattle pasture.    Their internally organized dishwashing system diverts hundreds of thousands of plastic waste products from the landfill each year. The Village Witches program has cultivated a culture of well-being amidst a party scene, bringing herbalism to the mainstream.    The festival has also done a lot to bring hundreds of jobs to the local economy before, during, and after the event. They've also done a lot of work over the years to harmonize the ecosystem of the festival production, staff, artists, attendees, volunteers, and other influences.   In the interview, we didn't cover what Envision's non-profit foundation Somos el Cambio continues to do for the neighboring region.    With the leadership of Federico Gutierez, Somos el Cambio Has planted over 17,000 trees directly by Envision staff and volunteers, And over 80,000 more trees with Envision's support. They've donated $18,000 of medical equipment to the local hospital in Ciudad Cortes for COVID relief efforts. $7,800 was donated to the Uvita community food bank, a Foundation in charge of identifying and distributing food to those families in greatest need. More than 4,600 trees have been planted with the local water board to protect the springs that feed water to all of Uvita. Eight monkey bridges have been built through a cooperative alliance with The Electrical Institute of Costa Rica. They've donated $17k to fund local water system upgrades. And over 30 tons of trash have been recollected during clean-up activities nationwide.    If you'd like to catch a glimpse of some of the workshops that took place at Envision, I recorded a few of them for the Envision Festival Playlist on our YouTube Channel. Among them is a panel discussion on the challenges that can arise in Building Eco-Villages, a talk about Decolonizing Permaculture, and some other exciting bits.   If you're new to Regeneration Nation Costa Rica, subscribe to the podcast to stay updated with future releases.

In the next installment of our "Live at Envision " series, meet one of the co-creators of the event, (and one of the most fun and interesting people I had the pleasure of spending time with that whole week), Sarah Wu. If you were to call Sarah an herbalist you wouldn't be wrong. However, as you'll hear in this episode, it goes much deeper than that! Even if you wouldn't consider yourself a plant-lover per se, listening to Sarah discuss her ever-evolving relationship with the plant world will at least have you looking at plant life through a new lens. Defining herbalism as an art, science, craft and practice, Sarah brings plants into deep focus and encourages viewing the plants around you in ways you might not have considered. It's not only how you experience a plant, but how does a plant experience you? What kind of dialogue takes place and what kind of symbiotic relationship is forged between humans and plants? This podcast is perfect for the "herb nerds" out there, and for anyone else who wants in on the, "What's your favorite herb?" conversation.

As a child, Sarah Wu Spent a lot of time outside making friends with animals, trolls, and flowers. As an angry 90's art kid she naturally wanted to challenge her Catholic upbringing. She actually preferred the teachings and practices that honored feminine power as well as masculine. Because it's all about balance! It didn't take Sarah very long to realize she was indeed, a Witch. But not the witch you might think. She isn't out to steal your money, life, beauty or anything like that. Think more along the lines of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz, but here to help along your wellness journey. Sarah is a wise herbal medicine woman residing in the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica at Punta Mona, a beachfront botanical collection and permaculture farm. At Punta Mona Center Sarah is the Director and Educational Curator. She is also one of the Co-Founders of Envision Festival, a celebration dedicated to awakening our human potential. The festival takes place in the next town over from where I'm currently living in Costa Rica so I was very excited to chat with Sarah about the intention and operation behind the festival. Sarah and I also discuss her tough journey with in-vitro fertilization. If you're considering in-vitro for your family, you're going to want to listen to Sarah's advice and personal experience. We talk all about the placebo effect in healing practices, walking the self-healing path as a healer, the murder of innocent women during the witch trials, exploitation of plants for medicine, lessons from off-grid living, and practicing non-attachment as a retreat facilitator. For those of you plant loving, meditating, wandering collections of light and love out there who want to hear from The Village Witch herself, you're in the right place! I also have a BIG announcement to share at the end of this episode so be sure to stick around until the very end! If you do, YOU get to be a part of the future of Wander Well Podcast!
