“My friends, do not lose heart…Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never
before in the history of humankind.”
~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Tending the Wellspring of Life
We are an international community of men and women who know the power and impact that steady care and attention have in the world. We nurture and protect an inner core of silence. We heed the guidance that arises from the wellspring of life. We call ourselves Well Keepers.
You are invited to join us in this devotion, called by spirit and the earth to be present now.
The Well Keepers spend part or all of the days they choose in their own form of silent prayer. For this past year, beginning February 10, 2024, every day has been carefully held by one of us, and then delivered into the care of another dedicated well keeper. We honor our kin in the natural world--they are an ever-present expression of the unimpeded flow of life.
Beginning February 10, 2025 we are shifting to a weekly rhythm of prayer every Sunday, thus concentrating our collective energy and the cohesion built during 2024. You may sign up for one, or for as many Sundays as you like. We will be present as a community drawn together on that day.
New Well Keepers are very welcome. Our common ground is the commitment to spend some time in silence on our chosen Sundays. Please email us to connect, ask questions, and join us.
This website is also home to reflections from this weekly Sunday experience, and to the honoring of one another. All Well Keepers will be able to see the people gathering to be present on a particular Sunday, weaving a web of enfoldment and gratitude for those tending the well that week.
As Vaclav Havel, former President of Czechoslovakia reminds us, “Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something is right, regardless of how it turns out.” Our sustained attention and love are simply right in this time of ongoing global crises and, as always, acts of goodness that are often invisible.
May the waters of healing, inspiration, and blessing flow freely into all creation.
