What is soul care?
The wild goose has long been a Celtic symbol of the untamed freedom of the Holy Spirit. Through the lens of Mary Oliver’s beloved poem, it also becomes a gentle invitation to release shame and rediscover our belonging.
Soul care is a space for compassionate care and counsel where ancient spiritual wisdom meets contemporary neuroscience—where your story is received with steadiness, curiosity, and care.
It is relationally attuned and trauma-informed, attentive to the ways your nervous system, attachment history, and longings have shaped you.
Together, we create a safe and responsive space, thoughtfully curated to your particular needs and paced with gentleness rather than urgency.
This is not about fixing you, but about accompanying you toward deeper freedom and flourishing.
“The care of souls is the arts of arts.”
About
our collaborative
Founded by Dr. Chuck DeGroat, The Soul Care Collaborative is a network of practitioners committed to offering compassionate, relationally grounded care for the whole person. Drawing from ancient traditions of spiritual formation and contemporary insights from psychology, trauma research, and neuroscience, we seek to create spaces where people can slow down, tell the truth about their lives, and move toward deeper integration and wholeness.
Our practitioners include trained counselors, spiritual directors, coaches, and experienced caregivers who share a common ethos: we are relationally oriented, trauma-informed, attentive to the soul, curious about people’s stories, mindful of the systems that shape our lives, and humble about our role in another person’s journey.
Through soul care sessions, coaching, spiritual direction, leadership consultation, and personal/group intensives, we walk alongside individuals, couples, leaders, and teams seeking clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. Our hope is to cultivate spaces where people can experience belonging, rediscover their joy, and move toward the kind of transformation that unfolds slowly and deeply over time.
