Esstim’s journey to holistic well-being: from unique therapeutic experiences and mindfulness retreats to launching the International Trauma Congress in Barcelona 2025
Victor Angel
General Manager, Esstim
Victor, could you provide an overview of Esstim's mission and the services you offer?
Esstim was established in 2020 in Barcelona, to offer accessible and adaptable therapeutic support and personal development opportunities. Our services include a range of training programs designed to foster personal and professional growth. We also provide resources aimed at promoting well-being, such as relaxation techniques, movement exercises, yoga, breathing practices, meditation, and trauma release, both in individual sessions and in group experiences.
What makes you unique in your approach?
We stand out by the creation of a new model of support, help, and training that is affordable, accessible, and tailored to individual time management needs. We prioritize excellence, warmth, and collaboration in every interaction with our clients. Our approach is rooted in equity, responsibility, and ethics, ensuring a supportive and enriching experience for all.
What inspired Esstim to start organizing mindfulness retreats in Spain and abroad?
Recognizing the profound impact of immersive experiences, we saw mindfulness retreats as a natural extension of our mission. We offer unique experiences of self-awareness in geo locations with special energetic essence, deeply connected to ancestral wisdom (i.e. Delphi, Greece). These retreats offer participants a dedicated space to deepen their practice, away from daily distractions, and facilitate transformative personal growth.
How did the collaboration between Esstim and CoMantis come about?
As we planned to expand our retreat offerings internationally, we identified the need for a partner with expertise in managing complex logistics. CoMantis came highly recommended for their professionalism and experience in organizing international events, making them an ideal collaborator.
In what ways did CoMantis support Esstim in organizing your retreats abroad?
CoMantis took charge of all logistical aspects. This included arranging accommodation, transportation, scheduling, and ensuring local compliance. Their meticulous attention to detail allowed our team to concentrate solely on delivering the therapeutic and personal development components of the retreats.
Can you share an example where CoMantis' involvement was pivotal to your success?
During one of our retreats, there was a sudden change in the local public health conditions that could have disrupted our plans. CoMantis swiftly navigated the situation, adjusting arrangements and communicating changes effectively, ensuring the retreat proceeded smoothly without compromising the participant experience.
How has this partnership impacted Esstim's approach to organizing future retreats?
The collaboration with CoMantis has set a new standard for our retreat operations. Their expertise has not only enhanced the quality of our events but also provided us with a framework to manage logistics more efficiently in future projects.
Looking ahead, what are Esstim's upcoming projects, and how do you envision your growth?
We are excited about organizing the International Trauma Congress in Barcelona in 2025. This event presents a valuable opportunity to share, learn, and be inspired in the field of trauma. It is our biggest initiative so far. We are fully committed to offering a memorable experience to all attendees by providing premium, high-quality content, delivered by internationally renowned doyens in trauma as speakers like Gabor Maté and Peter A. Levine.
Can you tell us more about the focus of the International Trauma Congress, Barcelona 2025?
The International Trauma Congress aims to create a space for dialogue where professionals and individuals can explore the latest tools and advancements in trauma treatment, exchange experiences, and generate ideas to drive change. It also focuses on raising awareness about the impact of trauma, bringing together professionals, researchers, and individuals dedicated to addressing trauma from diverse perspectives. We look forward to engaging the international community in deepening the understanding of trauma and enhancing support for those affected. We hope that this is just the beginning of a series of impactful global forums we organize!
Thank you for the kind words, Victor!
