About Wellspring

The Rabbis of old were our earliest psychologists, they understood the need to create ritual in order to mark moments of transition in life. We still use many, whether enabling a hormonal teenager to feel celebrated or a grieving mourner to be supported.

We have stopped creating ritualised milestones despite increasing the number of transitional moments we have in our lifetime, moments the early Rabbis would not have known, whether news of terminal diagnoses, fertility journeys or retirement.

Immersion in water has religiously been used to delineate one state of being from another and the outdoor swimming trend has popularised its mental health and wellness benefits.

Wellspring aims to help people get to a place of acceptance of life as it is, even if that’s not how they would have chosen it to be. Enabling Mikveh to create space for personalised ritual, encouraging the individuals to look back at all they have experienced, look to their future with renewed hope and be in the moment stronger and more resilient.

Wellspring’s programming will make space to ask the biggest questions of life and understand the importance of prioritising our own mental health and wellbeing, whilst creating a place separate from the tumultuous world around us, where connections can be made with other people in similar transitional moments also looking for acceptance.

Our aim is to welcome our first visitors in 2027 but look out for our current programming - "Wellspring without walls".
