Chalice Well is one of Britain’s most ancient holy wells, nestling in the Vale of Avalon between the famous Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Hill. For over two thousand years it has been a place of pilgrimage where people have gathered to drink the waters and find peace, healing and inspiration.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens and orchards it is a living sanctuary, a place that welcomes all people of goodwill, whatever their spiritual path or religious belief; a place where the visitor can experience the quiet healing power of the natural forces held within this landscape temple; a place to contemplate and meditate by the constant flowing waters in the valley beneath the Tor. The well and gardens are run by the Chalice Well Trust.

The Editor's Pick in this year's Kindred Spirit Awards is internationally recognised leader in bridging science and spirit, Dr Bruce Lipton. Dr Lipton, PhD is a stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award.
Here's what Kindred Spirit editor Claire Gillman had to say about her reasons for picking Dr Bruce Lipton:
"I have had the privilege of interviewing Bruce Lipton and his humility, warmth and compassion left a lasting mark on me. He combines knowledge with wisdom and makes deep and difficult topics easy and accessible to all of us. I continue to follow and admire his work in the field of epigenetics with great interest."
Unfortunately, due to the wildfires suffered in California during the summer of 2020 which affected so many Americans, Dr Lipton was unable to record a video on receiving his award, but gave the following statement:
"I am honored and in deepest gratitude for being selected by editor Claire Gillman as the recipient of the 2020 Editor’s Pick Kindred Spirit Award in recognition of The Biology of Belief’s impact on promoting global peace and evolutionary harmony.
Emphasising epigenetics and quantum biophysics, the 'new' biology offers a scientific foundation that unites the mind-body-spirit trinity and provides insight into the mechanisms revealing we are powerful co-creators in manifesting both our personal lives and the world in which we live.
Having dedicated my career to advancing this knowledge, I am in deepest appreciation to Kindred Spirit magazine for shining a global spotlight on the significance of the 'new' science that empowers humanity to restore the Earthly Garden from which we evolved while offering an opportunity to experience a life of Heaven on Earth."
