Companionships and Garden Passes
The Chalice Well Trust was founded to preserve and safeguard Chalice Well for the public good in perpetuity. Wellesley Tudor Pole asked Companions to foster unity rather than duality and uphold the ideals of the Grail – Purity, Courage, Integrity and Comradeship. He stressed the importance of custodianship of this ‘holy and spiritual site’ with the need for goodwill for the Well and its surrounds to succeed in holding a spiritual energy as we pass into the Age of Aquarius. WTP advised that Companions could share ideas with the Board of Trustees, who in turn, may act on them if they were in keeping with the overall purpose, strategy and focus of the Chalice Well Trust.
The Chalice Well is an incredibly important place – and very special to many people around the world. To deepen your connection with the Well, you may wish to become a Companion, or buy an Annual Garden Pass.
We follow GDPR guidelines at all times so do not share or sell any of your information.
