Our Mission.
An emotional + spiritual mental health + healing collective for Black and marginalized communities. We cultivate intuitive, trauma-informed spaces that support deep healing, emotional liberation, and self-reclamation beyond traditional therapy models.
The Soul Empowerment Collective Introduction
TSEC exists to offer a healing space rooted in self-awareness, spiritual attunement, and community connection. We believe healing is deeply personal, yet inherently communal. It cannot be confined to rigid systems or clinical models alone. That’s why we create spaces that honor the fullness of who we are, integrating intuitive healing, emotional processing, and transformative wellness practices. To make emotional safety, rest, and radical self-expression accessible for Black women who have been taught to carry everything alone.
We hold space for the things that don’t fit neatly into therapy.
We soften around what traditional systems pathologize or erase.
We create conditions for healing that are intuitive, embodied, and real.
Through workshops, healing intensives, and immersive experiences, we guide individuals toward self-liberation, helping them reclaim their power in a way that feels real, embodied, and culturally grounded. Here, we don’t just talk about healing, we attempt to create the conditions for it to happen.
Our Story
The Soul Empowerment Collective was born from a deep understanding that healing is not just about mental health, it’s about spiritual alignment, emotional liberation, and reclaiming our wholeness beyond the limitations of traditional systems.
For Loren Alexander, the founder, this work is personal. It is rooted in lived experience, the journey of unlearning, re-centering, and finding healing in spaces where it was never meant to exist. It must come from within our communities, through practices that honor who we are, but only after we do the work ourselves. After surviving what should have destroyed her and helping others do the same, she realized that healing cannot rely on systems that are the reasons we are broken, because they were never built to protect us, using our labor to advance humanity.
The Soul Empowerment Collective is for those navigating spaces that don’t know how to, or don’t want to hold you because of your Blackness. It was created as an alternative path for those seeking deeper, more intuitive ways of healing, transformation, and self-reclamation, without the rigid structures of traditional therapy or the disconnect of mainstream wellness culture.
At TSEC, we believe + understand that:
Healing is not linear. It’s cyclical, spiritual, messy, powerful, spiritual, embodied, and deeply personal.
Liberation is a practice. It happens when we create spaces that allow us to exist fully, without shrinking, assimilating, or filtering ourselves. It begins when we stop performing and start showing up fully.
Community matters. healing happens together, in spaces where we are held, witnessed, and affirmed. We heal in relationship, when we are witnessed, not fixed.
This work began as a personal refusal, a refusal to pretend, to mask, to mold. Over time, that refusal grew into a community. A movement. A place where emotional safety is sacred and self-reclamation is central.
This is more than a nonprofit.
It’s a home. A soft landing. A sacred return.
It’s what so many of us never had, but always needed.
