Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Areas - The Healing Field

On the right as you walk up towards the Sacred Stones, The Healing Field is much more than the Festival’s chill out zone.

In the Healing Field you can relax in one of the mystical and creative gardens and have a chilled healing session but also you can actively take part in any of the free workshops that happen all over the area all day long.

The field is set up so that you an explore the world of healing. You can have a new experience in the Self Help Massage Dome, where you can learn how to give and receive various forms of massage and other healings.

In the Yoga Marquee there are sessions from a wide range yogic approaches, and you’ll also find the Workshop Dome dedicated to singing, dance and the Shamanic, plus domes dedicated to Tai Chi/Chi Gung, Soft Martial Arts and Meditation/Inner Development. There will also be a Healing Arts Workshop Dome.

While you are in the Healing Fields you could have a treatment with one of the skilled healers who are working for donations or be involved in a healing event, performance or ceremony. Or you could just hang out and meet an exciting blend of people who are involved in many spiritual paths.

The Healers Information Centre, in the middle of the field, is the place to go to find a healer. A General Information Yurt is at the entrance to the Healing Field if you need assistance.

The theme of the field demonstrates how healing offers a complete experience to help maintain an inner peace and happiness. It is about developing healing qualities within each of us. We honour the elements, so the field becomes a giant Elemental Mandala – an elemental dance, each element holding and expressing a distinct quality of healing.

A major part of our life’s journey is to bring out the higher qualities of each element, and create a harmony between them, both in ourselves and within society.

The FIRE CIRCLE is the circle of Inspiration and Vision. This is the place to get involved in celebration, singing and chanting, divine music and dance workshops and creative games. There is also the chance to meet practitioners from a variety of spiritual groups and maybe even go on a Shamanic journey.

In the AIR CIRCLE you can discover healing on a group spiritual level. Throughout the day we have wall-to-wall Yoga or if you prefer there is a dome offering Chi Gung and another offering Tai Chi and various dynamic oriental practices are represented. For quiet contemplation there is the Meditation Yurt with workshops on offer at set times during the day.

Also, you can take time to sit in the quiet garden. And if you are interested you can find out about your karma (or lack of it) by finding The Soothsayers' Avenue, where you can get a Tarot, Astrological, Palm, Angel or Rune reading.

EARTH and WATER CIRCLES are places to go if you want an individual healing session. You'll find practitioners offering a wide range of healing arts, including massage, osteopathy, chiropractic, shiatsu, sacral cranial, spiritual healing, aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki, counselling and more. Healing sessions will take place one of the three designated marquees near the centre of the field.

Healers also work from their own individual tents. In exchange for certain healings you will be asked to make a donation. Find out before the session begins, or get advice from the Healers Info Tent.

Performances, singing and musicians workshops can be seen and heard in the Acoustic Music Space. Come and join in the creativity and fun. You will be welcome to perform with our team of musicians.

As we complete the circle, last but not least at the entrance to the field is a Homeopathy Marquee and Herbalism Centre both offer a range of remedies.

The Homoeopathic Clinic

Feeling unwell?  Need some help? Then visit the Travelling Homeopaths

Right at the entrance to the Healing Field you can find out how safe and effective Homoeopathic medicine is. Open from 9am until midnight, Wednesday through to Sunday.

Homoeopathy involves the use of plants, animals, minerals and other substances. The release of their natural energy removes the poisons and toxins that they may contain and makes it safe for adults, children and animals to take, causing no side effects.

The Travelling Homeopaths are able to treat a vast range of problems such as Hay fever, allergies, sunburn, sunstroke, constipation, stomach upsets, food poisoning and complications of over indulgence!
