Winifred Rushforth - Wellspring, Sempervivum and The Salisbury Centre

Wellspring, Sempervivum and The Salisbury Centre

In 1978, she was instrumental in setting up Wellspring as a successor to the Davidson Clinic. In the late 1970s, she established a movement entitled Sempervivum which brought together free thinkers at annual Easter Schools.

Dr Rushforth gave regular lectures at the Salisbury Centre, in Salisbury Road, Edinburgh, until her late 90s. She ran weekly dream groups and "Search for God" groups from her house at 11 Lauder Road, Edinburgh, almost until the time of her death.

Her daughter, Dr Diana Bates, continued Rushforth's work and was Director of Wellspring in Edinburgh for some years.
