About Healing Waters.

Healing Waters is a spiritual and healing retreat centre and B&B. We also regularly have courses running here. We offer a tranquil space for our visitors to enjoy a deeply healing and restful stay. Our facilities are available to people of all spiritual paths and we hold the belief that God is Love, in whatever form people choose to experience the Divine.

Healing Waters Sanctuary offers a high level of accommodation both for spiritual retreats of individuals and groups. Why not come and enjoy our healing retreat for a peaceful break whilst benefitting from our range of alternative and complementary therapies. You could book a pamper break or a longer retreat, or come for a spiritual or meditation course.

Healing Waters was founded in 2005 by Juliet Yelverton as a Spiritual and Healing Sanctuary for people to be resourced and supported in these turbulent and challenging times.
We have twice been nominated for awards for being the best retreat centre.  Join Our Mailing List

We have a fully equipped kitchen with a range of stainless steel saucepans and kitchen implements, including a soup ‘Whizzer’ and food blender as well as a juicer. There is also a selection of herbs, spices and oil available. Please be mindful of other guests whilst using the kitchen. We also ask that you don’t bring meat products or alcohol into our house.

Eating Areas

We have a dining table that can seat about eight people in the space at the back of the house and another table in the kitchen. The French windows looking out over the deck and the moors let in a lovely light throughout the day. There are also eating areas outside on the deck

The Deck

Behind the house, we have a beautiful wooden deck with picnic tables and recliner chairs. Wonderful for sunbathing and relaxing. This vantage point gives you a lovely view across the somerset levels and of Glastonbury Tor. If you come in spring or summer you will get a chance to see our flower garden that surrounds this area as well as up through the front garden.

The Gardens

We have lovely gardens surrounding the Sanctuary with places to sit and relax. We also have a wonderful 6-acre field with the Healing Spring in the Centre and the Community Healing Gardens in the left where we grow lots of organic vegetables for use by the Sanctuary and the community. You are welcome to come and visit them as part of your stay, and to purchase vegetables from us.  And if you are lucky you may see deer roaming in the early mornings or some of the other lovely wildlife that live in the field.

Meditation Space

There is a room available for meditation, yoga or tai chi. Many of our guests have remarked upon the special energy of this room. It may be because of its position on the Ley Line. Enjoy the space, it is very beautiful.
The meditation room is also used for therapies, so if the door is closed and the curtain is across, please do not enter, or sit in the hall or outside the window. It will soon be free to use again after the session
