I’m back from Wilderness Festival where I had the pleasure of working for Wild Wellbeing in the Sanctuary area of Wilderness Festival.  We were blessed with glorious sunshine throughout the weekend.

The Sanctuary was bigger and better this year with a team of 36 in-house therapists providing massages and facials.  Plus many pitch therapists offering a broad selection of therapies ranging from massage, reflexology, tarot readings, acupuncture, solar powered showers, saunas through to gong baths.  A perfect space for people to immerse themselves in peace and tranquility in order to feed their body, mind and soul.

Massage and facial products were sponsored by Neals Yard RemediesTeam Pukka provided herbal tea and a much needed chill out area for both clients and all of the hardworking therapists.

This Festival is certainly more than just music.  Wilderness Festival is spread across 1,700 acres of Cornbury Park and prides itself on luxury.  With a huge programme on offer ranging from theatre, arts, debates, talks, workshops, banqueting, good food, wellbeing, lakeside spa, children’s activities, there is most certainly something for everyone.  At times, there are over 400 events laid on for festivalgoers.

It’s not all work and no play though.  Festival highlights for me included The Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Ben Howard and La Fura dels Baus.

La Fura dels Baus, Barcelona based performance company, presented a large-scale show ‘Blending (in the Air)‘, directed by Miki Espuma.  This performance involved participation and the combination of the flamenco singer Ginesa Ortega together with the Wilderness Festival Orchestra and the English choir Deep Throat.  60 actors performed this original La Fura dels Baus spectacle.  A giant puppet, operated by a crane, dominated the performance area and 43 performers – who had never done anything like this before – took part in an aerial spectacle in which they created a stunning human net.

Thursday 20 – Sunday 23 August 2015, Brecon Beacons, Wales.

I have just been confirmed as an In-House Massage Therapist with Wild Wellbeing  in the Nature Nuture Healing Area at the Green Man Festival.

Leap, walk or crawl into the new Wild Wellbeing’s space at this year’s Green Man and discover our rejuvenating program featuring a vast selection of yoga classes, treatments and facilities all focused on your inner wellbeing.

Nestled just beyond the gentle gaze of the Green Man in a secluded glade of ancient Welsh oak trees, Nature Nurture is the perfect place to mellow out, stretch and release those last drops of stress.

Revamped for 2015, the Nature & Nurture healing garden is open from 7am to 11.30pm every day offering dedicated treatments – from qualified therapists, exercise classes (including yoga and Pilates) to simple, carefree indulgences such as a glass of wine in one of our glorious hot tubs.

The family-oriented yoga program runs from 8am until 8pm, for those seeking invigoration or to wind-down. There is something for everyone; acro-yoga, beginners yoga, family classes, kids sessions, pregnancy yoga, hot power yoga and restorative yoga.

Enjoy the luxury of pre-booked ‘Nurturing Relaxation Massage’, by a highly qualified therapist using natural massage oils or indulge in a treatment from the ‘Alternative Pitch Therapies’ – all of which can be pre-booked here.

Full 2015 line up information can be found here.
