What is the name of the area at Glastonbury dedicated to healing and holistic therapies?
Answer
The Healing Field
Answer
The Healing Field
The area at Glastonbury dedicated to healing and holistic therapies is called The Healing Field. It is part of the festival’s Green Fields, the section most closely associated with environmental projects, alternative culture, crafts and wellbeing.
The Healing Field is designed as a place to slow down amid the noise and crowds. Its programme has included yoga, tai chi, meditation, singing, dance and massage, alongside spaces for individual treatments. Practitioners have offered therapies such as shiatsu, osteopathy, reflexology, Reiki, aromatherapy and counselling, often through donation-based arrangements.
The field is more than a row of treatment tents. Its layout is organised around an elemental mandala, with Earth, Air, Fire and Water circles providing different atmospheres and activities. Visitors might find quiet contemplation in one area, communal music or chanting in another, and hands-on therapies elsewhere.
A common mix-up is choosing the Green Fields as the answer. Green Fields is the broader Glastonbury zone; The Healing Field is the specific named area within it. Kidz Field and Theatre and Circus serve entirely different purposes.
