Abstract
This paper looks at the spaces and practices of a music festival through the lens of experiential consumption. The bodily experiences of the festival (and in particular the ‘healing space’ of the festival) are examined, in terms of the space itself, and how it intersects with the practices that take place. The healing space includes a range of massage practices. The paper doesn’t attempt to prescribe what a ‘well’ body might consist of, but rather opens wellness up in terms of a corporeal experimentation with different modes of being in the world.
