SOUL CARE INSTITUTE

Impact

A transformed life is possible

"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in."
– Bishop Desmond Tutu

We've gone upriver and we've seen that people are falling in because of exhaustion, disillusionment, depression and a growing numbness to life. Good people are sick and tired of just hearing about the possibility of abundant life, they want to experience it for themselves. We believe it's possible for anyone to live a transformed life.

Our Pillars

Core elements that make space for transformation

Generous Time

The Institute is intentionally structured to provide participants with generous time and space to engage in a thoughtful curriculum, experienced in six 4-day retreats over two years.

Vulnerable Sharing

A seasoned faculty of vulnerable leaders and authors in the fields of soul care and spiritual formation have been assembled to provide deep engagement around soul care themes.

Covenant Community

Each cohort is carefully selected, creates a covenant, and journeys together through the two-year experience. Our cohorts are kept to about 25 students allowing for intimacy and community.

Formational Approach

The Institute is committed to helping students learn through engagement in transformational teaching that is balanced with plenty of time and space for experiential learning. 

At Our Center

Jesus is our Model

Jesus often withdrew to pray alone, which was at the heart of His deep connection with God. He also modeled living in authentic community. Jesus lived in a sustainable rhythm of engagement and disengagement. As Christ followers, we experience spiritual formation occurring most profoundly when we live in this sustainable rhythm. In a world that perpetuates unsafety and polarization, our souls need both solitude and a caring community to help us address three core soul questions:

Am I Safe?

Am I Loved?

Do I Belong?

Developing a Covenant Community

A phrase we hear often from SCI students is “I feel like I’ve found my people.” At the Soul Care Institute, we develop a covenant together to establish a safe space - a place where everyone can feel loved and belong.

The warmth of community provides a space for openness to God’s invitation in the work below the surface of our lives. In the context of authentic community, we find companions, fellow travelers, who we join on the road to discovering who God created us to be.

Stories of transformation

“I’m not the same person that I was when I started the Soul Care Institute. I’ve learned to ask myself questions for the sake of my soul so I don’t revert back to who I was before - a stressed out, making everybody miserable, business owner, mom, and wife. I see people differently now, as image-bearers of God, his beloved. This shift in perspective has changed how I love, listen, and care for those in my home, workplace, and community.”
