This year’s massage will include Shiatsu, a traditional Japanese massage that has developed a world wide reputation, as well as reflexology, which has also become quite established in many parts of the world. Our masseurs will be giving short sessions to whet your appetite, or longer ones if you are in the mood.

At the Festival you will also find a number of what we called 'alternatives'.

Christina Muscat will in her 15 minutes free sessions give you a hands-on experience of Reiki - an ancient healing method. Christina has also found Reiki an effective tool for self-growth; and she is very keen to share her positive experience with you - relax and enjoy!

Geraldine Morgan will, with her magic cards, take us into the world of Tarot. So if you are keen to ask for guidance, advise or purely want to have some fun, visit her Tarot stand.

Gaiafest promises a delightful mix of local talented musicians that are enjoying an ever increasing following on our islands. The styles of music are also varied, and are set to bring the evening’s activities to a great climax.. The bands will be performing amphitheatre style under the stars on the first weekend after the summer solstice.

The performers include the Beangrowers, Dripht, Ivan Filletti, Fakawi, Particle Blue.

We are also hoping to host a great band from Tanzania, that form part of an organisation called Rulu Arts Promoters that promotes fair trade and the arts. It is a non-government organisation that strives for the development of the less privileged especially in rural areas. The band specialises in East African Indigenous music and musical instruments. This is however still subject to confirmation.

This year we will once again be organising a buffet table with a wonderful fresh selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluton free dishes.

We are also including fine ingredients from Good Earth, a well established health food importer with top grade products. And last but not least, our prices are very consumer friendly, so prepare to tuck in to a delicious and healthy meal.

A selection of wines, beer and fruit juices will be available from the bar. H2Only will also be available in abundance.
