Be Hǣlu

What is Hǣlu?

Hǣlu is an old English word meaning health, healing and wholeness; well-being in a physical, mental, and spiritual sense.

In Anglo-Saxon times Hǣlu was known to be the quality that kept a person well. From Hǣlu comes the word ‘Heal’ and the root of the old English blessing Wes hāl (‘literally ‘be well‘ – the origin of our word wassail).

Being ‘well’ is about more than just the absence of ‘dis’ ease. A Hǣlu retreat will help you discover what good physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health means for you. We work with you to cultivate a sense of inner peace, contentment and an ability to appreciate and find happiness in the present moment, regardless of external circumstances. Finding joy.

Where is Hǣlu?

Hǣlu are collaborating with Bainland Lodge Retreats in Lincolnshire to bring you the Ultimate Reset Retreat – a partnership with a commitment to wellness at its heart!

Bainland are experts at combining nature and luxury. Nestled within the tranquility of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Bainland’s English Garden Villa offers an idyllic haven for those seeking rejuvenation and renewal, providing an escape from the fast paced demands of everyday life.
