EQUILIBRIUM FESTIVAL
A wellness festival with a focus on living in Balance!
Equilibrium FEST 2024 was our 3rd edition 💫
We are excited now to evolve as we take everything we have learned to develop our festival and move forward.
At the heart of Equilibrium is our mission to nurture well-being and inspire a brighter, healthier future that encompasses balance in all areas of our lives.
Each year we have offered a day of enriching practices, fun and connection. Hosting a diverse platform to showcase a multi-cultural collaboration of Health Professionals from all areas of the wellness industry.
Music and dance is an integral part of who we are and where we come from and our events will celebrate more with live DJ’s and artists as we move forward.
This year we introduced a free-spirit recreational area and with a focus on Vegan, Vegetarian and alcohol free drinks. We will develop this aspect more in the future and create a vibrant space to connect with like-minded individuals to embrace the spirit of community and diversity in wellbeing practices.
Equilibrium Fest is an authentic and inclusive wellness event that is gradually becoming what it is meant to be. With open minds and hearts we explore what else is possible as we allow the flow to lead us into more and more authenticity!
We are very grateful to Catvana Learning Centre for their ongoing collaboration over all 3 of our annual events to date as well Sponsors and supporters without whom it would not be possible and we very much look forward to continuing collaborations into the future.
Let’s see how the next steps unfold as we honour an organic process into becoming and Let it Flow!
OUR JOURNEY
To date our approaches have been instigated out of a necessity to fund the platform we have created. We are now looking for sponsors and collaborators who share a vision to create a better world and sustainable way of enjoying life to the full.
Born in 2021, directly out of lockdown, Equilibrium Fest was created to offer the local community a safe space to reconnect. Bringing the wealth of well-being practitioners in surrounding communities and offering educational workshops in a range of wellness & holistic practices, as we all found our way to adapting to the ‘new normal’.
The first event was co-created by Lisa Wetton and Malala Ramenzoni, a local business owner in Sitges with an abundance of energy for making things happen. 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 DJs, 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 DJs and curated the music.
Although the day was a great success, we met with Council intervention and on our 2nd scheduled event in September 2022, we experienced some obstacles due to licensing and logistics that were presented to us. Rather than abandon the project, members from the original team formed an official Company and made an agreement to continue. Our 2nd event took place at Neàpolis Innovation Centre in Vilanova on Sunday 4th June 2023 after a 9 month postponement which incurred loss to the organisers and a great amount of patience and resilience from the participants that stayed with us. It was clear that many of us, against the odds, shared a powerful intention to bring these practices into the community.
With a sincere focus on integrating this multicultural well-being community with the local community, we were inspired to create a 3rd event. As we felt safe to deliver the activities in Vilanova we stayed at Neápolis for the 2024 edition, which showcased a smaller yet much more locally integrated range of practitioners. The event was beautifully organised, yet our message didn’t quite reach as many people as we would have liked. Those that attended thoroughly enjoyed the day. Energetically the connections were magical and we were beginning to find the core of who we were and what we really needed to do next.
Partners of the second and third event, Carolyne Perron has moved into working as a Manager with our 2024 Sponsor, Butterfly Solutions at The Butterfly Shelter and Julien Moreau is now based at Inama - another valued participant of our 2024 event.
With a focus on authenticity and flow, the journey continues to unfold and the team that launched the event expand into their own arenas. Maintaining connection to collaborate and allowing Equilibrium to become the truest, most honest version of itself.
As we nurture and grow the company to include year round collaborative workshops; retreats; private parties; music and dance events the best is yet to come!
Look out for new partnerships, exciting collaborations and real heart warming experiences that come from the seat of our souls.

“I would like to said thank you Lisa and her Team. Yesterday we had a one Retreat's Day and was perfect, the techniques help me to sleep better and I'm feeling full of good energy in the day after. My anxiety feeling disappeared and We have learned how to use the techniques in our day also. It will help me to feel less pain. 100% I will participate again.”
