collective spirit

Shared team soul

Collective spirit is the shared sense of purpose, identity, or enthusiasm that unites a group.

It suggests people feeling connected to something larger than themselves—a team, community, or movement.

The collective spirit of the volunteers kept the project going.

Similar to team spirit or esprit de corps, but broader in application.
