MIAMI and SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lecturer, inspirational author and communicator Ismael Cala has confirmed his participation at ECHO (Costa Rica), an event that brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, revolutionaries and social activists who wish to get out of their comfort zone and seek new horizons as a community.
For 72 hours participants will explore their curiosity through workshops, talks and community togetherness, as they share their experiences of how they’ve gotten to where they are. In 2015, the group in attendance encompassed Syrian political refugees and CEOs of multinational companies, without any sort of hierarchy.
Attendees will be billeted in luxury tents immersed in nature, and for 72 hours they will have no access to any technology whatsoever.
“ECHO creates a community where we all live together; lecturers, workshop facilitators and participants tell stories and laugh under the same sky in our common house. Sleeping in tents at a distance from technology will remind me of my childhood. I’m sure it will be an unforgettable event. So catch the spirit, and join me at ECHO,” said Cala.

Sebastián Castro, co-founder of ECHO, observed: “Everyone here has something to teach, and above all a lot to learn. The experience of sharing things one on one with Ismael for three days can be a personal and professional catalyst for any participant. And yet, I also think it works the other way around.”
Ismael Cala recently announced his departure from CNN en Español after five and a half years leading the successful interview show, CALA, in prime time and a fifteen year affiliation with the network.
Cala will now be focusing on his career as a lecturer and author, and as president of his own company, Cala Enterprises. Cala Enterprises was founded to continue having a positive impact on the lives of millions of people through self-mastery, leadership, meditation, awareness of well-being and mindfulness.
He is currently preparing new television projects for 2017, and has committed to a schedule of special journeys, lectures and workshops in a number of countries throughout the region for the rest of 2016.
