The Wellnergy Festival, which will take place on June 13 and 14 in Wimbledon Park, will have an enhanced Neurodivergent Zone.
The festival, which is said to be the first in the UK to have a dedicated neurodiversity tent, will partner with Nutritious Minds Trust Charity to make the zone “bigger and better than ever”.
The zone will have a session-led tent with neurodivergent guest speakers and experts in nutrition and brain health, including Dr Robert Lustig, Dr Rachel V. Gow, and Professor Michael Crawford.
The festival will also have wellness services, art activities for children, and a mini retail village focused on neurodivergent needs.
Nick Steiert, founder and CEO of Wellnergy Festival, said: “Wellnergy was founded with the mission to redefine wellness by focusing on mental fitness and mindset.
“The Neurodiversity Tent is a key part of that vision – providing a space where people can learn, connect, and celebrate the strengths of neurodivergent minds.”
Dr Rachel Gow, founder of Nutritious Minds Trust Charity, added: “As a longstanding advocate of ADHD and understanding the critical importance of brain health, I’m thrilled to bring this incredible lineup of experts together.
“The Neurodivergent Tent will be a place of learning, healing, enlightenment, and inspiration for all attendees.”
The festival will also have a children’s art and craft tent in collaboration with Raver Tots, a healthy bookstore in partnership with Waterstones, a brain-health wellness tent offering massage and Reiki, and a mini retail village with exhibitors related to the neurodivergent community.
The Neurodiversity Tent will also provide an educational space where experts, authors, and advocates share their insights on brain health, nutrition, and personal experiences with neurodivergence.
The day will be structured around engaging formats, including “Conversations on the Couch” hosted by Dr Rachel Gow, founder of Nutritious Minds Trust Charity.
The morning session will feature personal stories and expert discussions on neurodivergence and mental well-being.
Key speakers include Dr Robert Lustig, a renowned neuroendocrinologist, author, and anti-sugar advocate, Brandon Block, a legendary DJ and mental health advocate, Jumpin Jack Frost, an iconic DJ and music industry pioneer, Miss C (Chloe Sinclair), a multi-talented artist and neurodivergent advocate, Lucinda Miller, a functional medicine specialist and bestselling author, Kate Spicer, a journalist and author recently diagnosed with ADHD, and Suzie Diamond Cain, a neurodivergent and adoption advocate, author, and coach.
The festival will also feature an interactive cooking session at lunchtime with top chefs Georgia Salamat (The Acai Girls) and Anita Drozd (YouJuice), who will share brain-boosting recipes and wellness tips.
Attendees can also enjoy mini TED-style talks from published authors, followed by a book signing session.
The day will conclude with a healing sound bath meditation, providing a relaxing and restorative experience.
To enhance the festival experience, Nutritious Minds Trust Charity has compiled top brain health tips for attendees, including staying hydrated, choosing nutrient-dense foods, taking breaks, and limiting sugar and alcohol intake.
In alignment with Neurodiversity Celebration Week (March 17 to 23, 2025), Wellnergy and Nutritious Minds Trust Charity are inviting journalists and media outlets to explore the topics of neurodivergence, mental health, and wellness.
This partnership provides an opportunity for interviews and media features that elevate awareness around brain health and inclusivity in wellness spaces.
