Background
Founded by Cathy AJ Hardy, Soul Care began through contemplative Soul Care Retreats in 2003. Over the years as many people continued to return to these retreats, the work expanded into the year long spiritual formation programs and the offering of Spiritual Direction. The first Spiritual Direction Training School began in 2020.
Rooted in the contemplative Christian mystical tradition, Soul Care is based upon the unconditional merciful Love that the mystics experienced and expressed in their lives and writings. It is the belief that we come from Love and we are being re-membered into this Love. We are inspired by lives such as St. Brigid, St. Francis, St. Teresa and St. John of the Cross. We are inspired by the life of Christ who invites us to live from the well-springs within and pour our lives out from the mercy and generous love we have known.
We seek to build a wide circle of relationships in this soul care journey, including those within a similar tradition, inter-faith relationships, and those who have no religious identity.
