soul care
Tending inner life
Soul care is the practice of tending to one's spiritual and emotional well-being, often through prayer, meditation, reflection, or pastoral guidance.
The term appears frequently in Christian contexts, where it describes the nurturing of one's relationship with God: Her pastor emphasized soul care during times of grief.
More broadly, soul care can mean any intentional attention to inner life and personal wholeness.
