Companions Day Saturday 6 June
June 6 @ 9:00 am
Our theme for Companions Day is Goodwill and Interconnectedness and we are looking forward to welcoming Companions of Chalice Well to an inspiring day of talks on Saturday 6 June 2026. Please note : the garden is closed all day to non-companions of the Well on Saturday 6 June.
Being of true and good heart was essential to Wellesley Tudor Pole’s vision for Chalice Well and the role the Well plays in our times now. Our guest speakers, Linda Tucker and Jean Vernon will explore how all of nature is connected in a great web of energy and light, as we are all connected heart to heart.
As WTP said ‘there is no spiritual power on earth that can withstand the united co-operation of men and women of goodwill.’ Companionship of the Well is based on the founding principle of goodwill.
Linda Tucker Global White Lions Protection Trust, will talk about our appreciation and connection with the Earth as a heavenly plane, and how the white lions in South Africa link inspire a deeper connection with mother earth and with all creation.
Bee expert Jean Vernon, will talk about the secret life of bumble bees and solitary bees weaving their magic, and how bees show us the interconnectedness of life and the balance of nature.
