A salon to help you feel better. St-Go'Zen returns soon to Saint-Gaudens. This well-being event is taking place for the first time at the Comminges exhibition center from November 30 to December 1. Four years after the first edition, the St-Go'Zen, organized by the Diapason association, is in some ways a victim of its success. “Last year we were still at the Cube, but we had to refuse around forty exhibitors the opportunity to participate due to lack of space” recalls Claudine Charrière, an active member of the association. This time 122 exhibitors will be together compared to 90 last year. “We still have a waiting list. Around fifty people who unfortunately will not be able to exhibit.” The Diapason 31 association has limited the number of participants to maintain the family and friendly atmosphere that is the signature of Saint-Go'Zen.

The exhibitors are from Comminges or the region (Toulouse, Ariège, Aude, Tarn-et-Garonne, etc.) and offer a variety of services. “They all have an approach around well-being. We can go from support to care, to coaching or even crafts and the development of one's home” explains Claudine. Producers of essential oils, sophrologist and foot reflexology, sound therapy, well-being literature, but also yoga and esotericism… So many solutions to feel better will be found at the show.

Growing success from year to year
“Four years ago when we started there were around fifty exhibitors. This year there will be 120, there is a real demand.” notes Sylvie Icart-Barat, treasurer of the association. “People are looking for alternative solutions for their well-being. During Covid, we found ourselves isolated, we had time to reflect on our lives and many people realized that they needed a return to basics, to simpler things.” During the show, exhibitors will host workshops and free conferences will also take place.
“I think our show works because what is proposed works. If for four years the show and the support offered by Diapason 31 throughout the year did not bring satisfaction, we would have already had thoughts. ” Claudine believes. Last year nearly 2,000 people came. The association hopes to reach the same attendance, or even reach the 3,000 mark.
