Enlighten Adelaide

The idea of developing a local Adelaide based event to showcase and increase awareness of the different health, wellbeing and natural therapies available was conceived in 2009 by Sue Shaw, owner of ESP Event Management. The first Enlighten Adelaide Festival came to fruition in February 2011 and was held at Cummins House in Novar Gardens. The concept of the event is to celebrate the cleaner, greener, healthier and holistic side of life by presenting local spiritual therapits, artists, and health practitioners, as well as recommending alternative and natural ways to improve and balance the body, mind and soul. The Festival provides the opportunity for visitors to try different modalities in a relaxed, comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. Various products are available for purchase, without any pressure, and visitors are encouraged to stay for the day, have lunch, a massage or holistic treatment, attend a workshop or just enjoy being in the peaceful and positive atmosphere of this blissful space. Event Director, Sue Shaw, has a simple philosophy ; that there is enough for everyone and to work in collaboration with each other to bring about a sense of community, unity and oneness. Her focus is to provide a professional, quality and unique event. This facebook page is a free tool accessible to all South Australian businesses in the health and wellbeing industry, to share information about their products and services or to offer inspirational advice in an open and non-judgemental environment. The 2012 Enlighten Adelaide Fetival will be held on SUNDAY 28 OCTOBER 2012 at the Latvian Community Hall, 4 Clark Street, Wayville, from 10am until 5pm.
