Restoring Dignity. Reclaiming Dreams. Reconnecting with Spirit.
At Souljourning for Truth Ministry, we offer more than programs—we offer a spiritual path for elder Black women to rediscover joy, purpose, and community. Every offering is rooted in ancestral wisdom, cultural ritual, and the sacred principles of Sankofa and Aṣẹ.
While we do not provide clinical mental health care, our community-based, trauma-informed approach supports emotional healing, creative expression, and intergenerational legacy work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our ministry and programs.
Who is Souljourning for Truth Ministry (SJTM) for?
SJTM is a spiritual and culturally grounded community for Black women, especially those 60 and older, who are seeking connection, purpose, and healing. We welcome those who are postmenopausal, spiritually curious, artistically inclined, and open to communal growth and transformation.
Is this a religious organization?
While SJTM is spiritually guided, we are not affiliated with any formal religion. Our work is rooted in ancestral reverence, ritual practice, and the sacred principles of Sankofa (looking back to move forward) and Aṣẹ (the power to make things happen). We honor all spiritual paths that center love, healing, and liberation.
Do you provide therapy or mental health services?
We are a trauma-informed community space, but we are not licensed mental health professionals. Our offerings support emotional and spiritual wellness through creative expression, ritual, and community-building. For acute trauma or mental health needs, we recommend seeking care from a qualified provider.
What happens in the Rites of Passage program?
This sacred journey celebrates elderhood as a time of power, reflection, and renewal. Participants engage in group discussions, healing rituals, personal storytelling, and creative projects that affirm identity and honor legacy. The experience culminates in a meaningful community ceremony.
How can I get involved in the Intentional Communal Living Initiative?
We invite women interested in co-housing and elder communal living models to attend our informational gatherings and workshops. We are currently in the visioning and planning phase for an intentional community in Northern California. Contact us to learn more or join a session.
Can younger women or family members participate?
Our core offerings are designed specifically for Black women 60+, but we welcome intergenerational engagement during select events, excursions, and storytelling projects. These moments foster legacy-building and community continuity.
