The ELLE Zen Forum was held at the Cercle LeBrun on 16 and 17 November. It was an opportunity for ELLE magazine and the natural cosmetics brand Weleda to put wellbeing in the spotlight, in all its forms. From the ground floor to the second floor, the private mansion was laid out down to the smallest detail and showed its ability to adapt as well as possible to the needs of an event open to the public.

The Salon du Sculpteur, transformed into a temple of zen

Located on the ground floor with a subdued atmosphere, the Salon du Sculpteur proved to be the ideal place to hold yoga classes. The Centres Qee ran pilates, yoga and meditation classes for participants over the two days of the event.

These two days of events highlighted the Salon du Sculpteur’s ability to host all types of events. It hosts, for example, classic work workshops, but it is also frequently used for showrooms, mixology workshops…

The Salons du Botaniste, welcoming participants to ELLE Zen

Nearly 800 participants came to the Cercle LeBrun for the ELLE Zen event. All were welcomed in the Salons du Botaniste, where they could meet the organising team and get information about the day’s programme. There they could discover the news of the event’s partners such as the Teva brand and the Honest brand. 

One of the salons was dedicated to the Keynotes, talks on physical and mental wellbeing. Among the speakers who took the floor in this space were Dr Jean-Michel Cohen, the journalist Marie Drucker and the former Sports Minister Valérie Fourneyron.

The third salon on the 1st floor was dedicated to various creative workshops: granola making, leather goods creation…

The Salons du Botaniste were thus fully used during the ELLE Zen event, both to welcome participants and for the various activities organised. 

The Salons de l’Architecte, laid out by Weleda

On the second floor, in the Salons de l’Architecte, Weleda set up an area dedicated to its organic and natural products. The size of the salons allowed the brand to create different atmospheres within a single room: massage workshop with the practitioners of the Weleda team, product sales area, floral creation workshop… All in an intimate atmosphere created in part thanks to the floral decorations by Marie Guedin.

A selection of books on wellbeing, one-to-one interviews with various experts and zen workshops: the list of activities organised at the Cercle LeBrun over these two days of events goes on!
