Discover how Santa Barbara Soul was born to unite the spiritual and healing community through events, workshops, and our local wellness directory.

When I first moved through my own healing journey, I often wished there was one place I could turn to in my local area—a space that gathered together the soul-led healers, the trauma-informed guides, the nervous system experts, and the sacred artists. A place where healing felt less like a solo mission and more like a community rising together.

That vision stayed with me. And eventually, it became Santa Barbara Soul.

Santa Barbara has long been a hub for wellness, creativity, and conscious living. But I noticed something: many of the most powerful healers and transformational guides in our community were working quietly, independently, and often unseen. So many people were searching for support and didn’t know where to find it.

Santa Barbara Soul was created to change that.

The Mission: Connection, Visibility, and Collective Healing

Santa Barbara Soul is more than an event or a brand, it’s a movement. One rooted in the belief that healing is amplified when we come together.

Our mission is to:

• Connect residents and visitors with soul-led, trauma-informed, and alternative wellness practitioners.

• Uplift small healing businesses by giving them a platform through our local Wellness Directory and Community Events Calendar

• Host events and workshops that bring us together in community—like Santa Barbara Soul Fest, our city’s first soulful wellness festival blending healing, art, and conscious celebration currently being planned.

This isn’t just about visibility. It’s about belonging. About making sure that the depth of healing work being done in this town is not only seen, but felt, shared, and celebrated.

Why It Matters

We are living in a time when more people than ever are waking up to their inner world, questioning old paradigms, and looking for safe spaces to explore who they really are. And healing doesn’t always happen in a therapist’s office or a hospital. Sometimes it happens through breathwork under the trees, in a meditation circle, a heartfelt conversation over herbal tea, or a piece of art that touches your soul.

Santa Barbara Soul was born to make space for all of that. Whether you’re a healer, artist, coach, energy worker, herbalist, therapist, yoga teacher, or simply someone on your own path of self-discovery, you belong here.
