Equilibrium is a Positive Lifestyle Environment that aims to Balance Our Lives by providing space that nurtures art, culture, community & personal wellbeing.
Equilibrium ~ A Positive Lifestyle Environment ~ is an inspiring new venture located in Brattleboro, Vermont. Jacob Alan Roberts and Jessica Jean Weston, professionals in the arts and wellness industries, are launching this unique community resource as a gathering space and marketplace that supports creative self-expression and holistic health practice.
Envisioned as a stimulating multi-platform venue, Equilibrium’s aim is to provide space for those seeking to live a more healthy, happy and harmonious life. By providing regionally sourced vegan / gluten-free cuisine, teas and fresh juices; offering numerous wellness-based services, workshops and consultations; vending original, handmade and fair-trade goods; and presenting a stimulating arts program, Equilibrium endeavors to become a refreshing addition to the rich cultural landscape of this region.
Located at the “cross-roads of New England”, Equilibrium is situated in the heart of historic downtown Brattleboro. Just off Rt. 91, the facility is less than 3hrs from major cities such as Boston, New York, Hartford, Springfield, Albany and Burlington, and is a short drive from other picturesque tourist destinations such as Bennington, Keene, Northampton, Amherst, and North Adams, among others. The site is well positioned adjacent to the district’s largest garage, is surrounded by plenty of on-street parking, and is conveniently found along one of the towns’ busiest commercial strips, offering considerable foot traffic and easy accessibility. Worth noting, Equilibrium also sits on the edge of a dense, mixed-income neighborhood, providing a unique opportunity to serve both as a viable downtown business and a broader community asset.
Exuding an air of antiquity, the building itself is an attraction worth a visit. Built as a manufacturing facility in the early 20th century, the modest bi-level brick and mortar structure is one of the last of its kind embracing a practical contemporary use. Featuring an open 3,000sqft floor plan, tall ceilings and a litany of large-scale warehouse windows, the interior of Equilibrium naturally evokes the raw industrial look and feel often replicated by modern retailers such as Urban Outfitters and Old Navy.
By offering a refreshing array of handmade, fair-trade and up-cycled craft, a multitude of one-on-one and group wellness services, a nourishing carte du jour of healthy food and beverage, as well as a stimulating schedule of culturally significant events, Equilibrium is sure to attract a wide range of patrons who are seeking to enhance their overall standard of life.
Additionally, the owners, together with their experienced management team, will efficiently design the store to achieve a logical and pleasing aesthetic, help maximize sales and give the customers a rewarding experience. This attention to detail, combined with a focus on quality service, a passion and knowledge of the arts and health industries, and an overall desire to succeed will certainly help Equilibrium achieve success for the venues’ owners, vendors, performers and practitioners alike.
