Born in 2021, Equilibrium Fest was created to offer the local community a safe space to connect and recalibrate following the strangeness of the lockdown experience. Reconnecting the wealth of well-being practitioners in the local and surrounding communities and offering educational workshops in a range of wellness & holistic practices and eco-related topics.
The first event was co-created by Lisa Wetton and Malala Ramenzoni, a local business owner in Sitges at the time.
It was held at IAB, Institute for Arts, Barcelona in September 2021.
The day was a huge success, offering 63 workshops and talks from over 50 Health Professionals and Holistic Practitioners.
With over 20 stalls providing demonstrations, practices and products, as well as DJ’s, Live musicians, healthy food and drink.
Carolyne Perron was the leader of our Team of Volunteers, Julien Moreau was one of the first stand holders and speakers and Danny Mekanik led the team of DJ's and curated the music.
After some Council intervention on our 2nd scheduled event in September 2022, due to licensing and logistics, we experienced some obstacles. Malala moved away from Sitges. Rather than walk away from the project, members from the original team joined Lisa to form an official Company and continue, as we were totally invested in it.
Our 2nd event eventually took place at Neàpolis Innovation Centre in Vilanova on Sunday 4th June, 2023.
Now focused on delivering the 3rd edition we continue to develop the festival’s message of conscious living, co-creation, sustainability and living in balance!
We collaborate with multiple Health Professionals and Educators, local partners such as Catvana Learning Centre for specialised Children’s activities, Plastic Oceans Europe to foster sustainability and Happy Expats to integrate the multicultural Expat Community with the local area.
With a sincere focus on integrating this multi-cultural well-being community with the local Catalan community, we are inspired to nurture and grow the brand with other elements that offer a range of transformational experiences, including: workshops; retreats; transformational holidays; private parties; music and dance events.
All these aspects are part of who we are and bring our histories together to form Equilibrium Events.
