Westcountry Natural Healing Fellowship
Welcome & History
Welcome to the Westcountry Natural Healing Fellowship website. In the mid 1970s, several county-based healing groups broke away from the National Federation of Spiritual Healers to retain local status. The Southwest organisation of the 'Devon and Cornwall Healing Fellowship' became two new local healing groups under the auspices of Barney Camfield.
'The Plymouth Healing Fellowship' and the 'Moreton Healing Fellowship' were created to serve the two halves of Devon and were soon joined by the 'The Wellbeing Centre' in Cornwall. All three worked under the charity status of Moretonhampstead Unitarian Church where Barney was Minister.
In the early eighties 'The Wellbeing Centre' in Cornwall was granted independent Charity status. When Barney Camfield moved to Exeter in 1986, the now-named 'Moreton and Plymouth Healing Fellowship' had its base at Clyst St Mary.
In order to reflect the increasing numbers of non-churchgoing Healer members, the Fellowship was renamed "The Westcountry Natural Healing Fellowship' and independent Charity status was sought.
When this was granted, the Fellowship was properly organised with a committee, whose first Chairman was Barney Camfield.
