Who is Soul Space?

Soul Space is a collective of street health & harm reduction workers, care providers, and community members from within and beyond First United Church in Ottawa. Together, we offer opportunities for holistic care for the human spirit for street health and harm reduction workers in Ottawa.  

The Frontline Worker Advisory Group informs and shapes the activities and offerings of Soul Space, ensuring that the supports and care that is offered is relevant, timely and attentive to the culture, community and personal identity and needs of street health and harm reduction workers in Ottawa. 

Soul Space Care Providers come from different backgrounds and are individuals who nurture their spirituality within and outside of organized faith communities. They offer diverse supportive tools that tend to spiritual wholeness, including arts based activities, massage and healing touch, and spiritually focused conversation. Soul Space care providers are volunteers who maintain their own perspectives on faith and spirituality, but are careful not to impose their perspectives on others by  maintaining a deep respect for the rights, beliefs, and traditions of others. They seek to offer support with their own areas of expertise and can refer people to agencies and institutions that provide additional supports.

We acknowledge that we do our work on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People, who have lived on this land since time immemorial.  We commit to honouring an approach of cultural humility and recognize that reconciliation and decolonization are not metaphors, but actions that require an ongoing and unwavering commitment to social justice and equity.
