Whether you found this community by happenchance, or you stumbled upon one of my publications or heard about my research or courses, I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m also sorry you need to be if you or someone you love is dealing with what can only be described as one of the most challenging or soul-sucking times in your (or their) life. But here you are — and here is where you need to be because Soul Console is where the path of healing, hope, and wholeness begins.

This site offers a number of resources and support — from self-assessments, to healing guides, writing/journaling prompts, creative arts exercises, inspirations, movies and television series recommendations about moral trauma and lost innocence, and organizations doing amazing work to help those struggling with moral trauma.

You can also read others’ stories at The Black Hours: Voices of Courage Speak Out About Moral Trauma, a recent project that I’ve been working with my partner. In the Black Hours is a bold collection of photographic vignettes and a compendium of life stories that bring us face to face with the lived experience of moral trauma. It begins with those in the black despair of night, moving through glimmers of hope in twilight, and finally into an emerging dawn, reminding us all that while peace and happiness can sometimes feel elusive, it need never be lost entirely.

For those folks looking for community, there is also information on upcoming courses and collective conversation. And, of course, you can always contact me here.

Wishing you peace and wellness. With gratitude for your interest and trust.

Michele
