If you haven't already got the 4th of October marked in your diary, now's the time to do it. The Ibiza Spirit Festival returns for it's third instalment and it's not to be missed. Fairly new to the Ibiza festival scene, Ibiza Spirit has managed to captivate the people of Ibiza in just three short years to blossom into a must-visit event for in-the-know locals wanting to make positive changes and celebrate Ibiza's special energy. The event runs from 11am right through to sunset and beyond all in the beautiful gardens of Atzaro. A collision of music & movement, inspirational workshops, meditations, alternative healing therapies and yoga, the event aims to bring together the people of Ibiza as one to share in the joy of their true spirit and create the power for positive transformation.
Founders of Ibiza Spirit Festival, Jerry and Sabina Brownstein's vision is “ to create a day of joyous celebration that opens our hearts and minds to new ways of thinking and being.” The organisers are focused on providing a day that provides a glimpse into an alternative reality. David moss is one of the primary organisers, aided by over 130 volunteers who will donate their time, talents and energy to making this year's instalment extra special. All proceeds from the event are used to support local charities here on Ibiza. This year they will be helping with the wonderful work that APNEEF does with special needs children. The festival ask guests for 10€ upon entrance, which includes access to all activities (except therapists and readers who ask for a small extra donation).
So what can you expect from this monumental celebration? Well, this festival has a pretty epic line-up, visitors can experience meditation sessions and inspirational workshops which will explore new was of finding happiness and health in mind. A variety of Yoga class styles led by the wonderful Yogis of Ibiza and a special Spectrum of Yoga exhibition at 12.30pm. Alternative healing therapies, including, reflexology, massage, reconnection, Reiki and Cranio Sacral. Creative dance, sensual tantra and singing circles.
But that's not all, take in displays of paintings from some of Ibiza's finest artists and listen to healing sounds provided by DJ's and musicians throughout the day and in the evening, dance beats of DJ Ohm G's “Quantum Collage”.
Still want more? You'll find a special area dedicated to female empowerment called “Bella Mama” and there's fun for the whole family in the shape of a magical kids area, hosting activities all day including, face painting, puppet shows, yoga for kids, arts and crafts, story telling, games and more. If at any point you get hungry there will be plenty of healthy food and drink options on offer to re-energise you before you go back for me.
So, if you're in the need for a little end of season recuperation (hit the closing parties a little hard, did we?) head down to experience some new therapies, meet the alternative, holistic people of Ibiza and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Atzaro. We've got our ticket!
