Healers should be aware that applications for places in the Healing Garden are for those offering one-to-one treatments — with only exceptional exceptions. You need to be qualified and insured in the treatments you wish to offer.
This year things will be different. To start with, there are going to be two events, plus of course there will be added Covid criteria you will be required to follow. If either of these changes are in any way difficult for you, please consider applying next year instead. x

Alcohol, Drugs and Festival Participation
All Buddhafield events are free from recreational drugs and alcohol. We believe this is one of the things that makes the atmosphere at our Festival special. A great many people come to Buddhafield because that’s our stated aim and a value we actively promote.
This applies to the crew as much as ticket holders. All crew (many of whom are on site for several weeks during set-up) are expected to strongly set the tone of the event. This policy applies to “legal highs” as well as illegal drugs and we reserve the right to ask you to leave if you can’t respect this.
People tell us that they didn't know they could enjoy a festival without their recreational drug of choice, so if this would be a new way of experiencing a festival, then why not give it a try! Whatever your views on recreational drugs, though, please bear in mind that if you choose to work with us, then we expect this value to be respected and adhered to.
