Our Journey

Our path to creating SOUL Wellness Hub has been an incredible journey, one filled with passion, determination, and, yes, a fair share of unexpected twists and turns.

From the very beginning, the dream was crystal clear: to establish a thriving hub for holistic wellness, healing, and community right here in West Yorkshire.

Before even taking ownership of this beautiful old Methodist Church, which would become our sanctuary, and treasured space, we were confronted with stringent building and fire regulations that had temporarily closed the space. It was a big challange, to get the renovation work done and get the doors open, but it couldn’t extinguish the fire within us. We knew we had to persist, not just for ourselves but for the community we envisioned serving.

We poured our hearts and souls into bringing this vision to life! We rallied an incredible group of supporters, some we’ve known for years and others who joined us on this journey with open hearts. The outpouring of love, donations, and volunteered time left us humbled and inspired, and reminded us that we can do it!

Our journey to this point has not been without its challenges, but it’s precisely those challenges that have strengthened our resolve and deepened our connection to the mission of SOUL Wellness Hub. We’re ready to welcome you into this sacred space—a space where wellness is not a destination but a daily practice, where healing is a collective endeavor, and where community is at the heart of everything we do.

Creating Change With a Purpose

As a CIC, we are a non-profit organisation committed to reinvesting everything back into the community and into meaningful projects that benefit not only our local people but also the planet.

Our vision is to initiate and support initiatives that promote wellness, mental health, sustainability, environmental consciousness, recovery programs, and social responsibility.

We’re driven to leave the Earth better than how we found it. Our aim is for projects ranging from eco-friendly practices within our centre to collaborations with other local wellbeing organisations, home education projects, healing retreats, spiritual ceremonies, permaculture, and encouraging a concious way of living that honours our bodies and the earth. We aim to inspire change, one step at a time, and invite our community to join us in this soulful journey.

When you come to, and support SOUL Wellness Hub, you’re not just investing in your well-being; you’re also contributing to a brighter, and more harmonious future. Together, we’ll make a difference that resonates far beyond our walls, leaving a legacy of love and care for generations to come.

Creating Change With a Purpose

At SOUL Wellness Hub, we’re more than just a wellness centre; we’re a not for profit Community Interest Company (CIC) with a mission to create lasting change.

We believe that our presence in the world should leave a positive imprint on the Earth, and the people of the Earth and we’re dedicated to this purpose.

Not a Solo Journey!

At SOUL Wellness Hub, we firmly believe that healing and wellness is a journey best taken together. Our nervous systems are literally wired towards connection, towards a tribal, interpersonal way of living. It’s not just about individual well-being; it’s about the collective, about building a nurturing, supportive, and inclusive community that fosters growth and transformation. A revillaging of the way we live.

We’re dedicated to providing opportunities for you to engage, share, and grow. Whether you’re attending our yoga classes, open mic nights, talks, ceremonies, participating in our community wellness activities, or just poping in for a cup of cacao, you’re an integral part of what makes SOUL Wellness Hub special.

Join us in this beautiful journey of togetherness, and let’s create a community where the soul thrives and the heart finds its home.

We certainly know how difficult this is too! Particularly in British culture, we aren’t really taught or shown how to live in community and at SOUL Wellness Hub, we don’t claim to have all the answers. We are, however, committed to learning, growing and changing alongside the community so that we can all learn to walk the earth side by side in a way that empowers each individual.

Our commitment is to create a multi-generational space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We seek to create an atmosphere of encouraging conversations, a place where it is safe to speak your truth, create deeply meaningful connections, and sparking collaborations that enrich lives.
