We are a Folk Wisdom, Education, Healing and Empowerment Center. SCU’s main purpose is to Support, Educate and Empower (S.E.E.) our communities and individuals embrace holistic and earth-centered living. As we step more fully into our truth, we are reclaiming our indigenous values, wisdom and technologies from all systems, including our own minds, that are rooted in oppression. We are ready to deeply care for our Souls.
We are striving to highlight and amplify the voices of Black, Indigenous, and Folks of Color community leaders, by curating a collective of wisdom keepers that represent these communities. Through
our ancestral voices, we are here to support ALL of our communities thrive for the betterment of the collective.
Many of our courses and online programs are intended to support ALL peoples. Our Wisdom Keepers present all courses from a conscious cultural lens.
Courses and programs that are BI & Poc exclusive, will be labeled as such. All other courses are for anyone who aligns.
We are in an expansive phase of our growth as we seek out Wisdom Keepers to offer courses in our expanding subject areas.
Our Guiding Principles:
Honor the Indigenous ways
Embrace Growth and Change
Act with Integrity and Have a Positive Impact

Think Generationally
We have several subject course areas: earth centered living, soul healing/care, meditation, folk medicine courses and lectures, and wholistic business leadership.
We provide supportive superVision/Mentorship for medicine healers, soul healing programs for black women, and we facilitate Black Indigenous and People of Color community sacred spaces.
Soul Care University is a distance learning institution that 1s deeply committed to teaching Folk Medicine from a Indigenous perspective, while providing opportunities for deep healing.

The Well Women' s Gathering
I have been facilitating women's retreats for 30 years. The retreats started out as day retreats at my home, and evolved to other locations several days. Over the years these gatherings have deepened as I have deepened in my teachings and experiences. When covid hit, I stopped doing in person gatherings and have not done anything in 3 years. I am excited to once again connect with women in this way. The deep healing from gatherings I host are profound, as this is the energy that I hold and the field that I create. Our next gathering will be Nov 10 - 13, 2022. Registration as started.
If you are interested in our next event, please email me chonteau@chonteau.com and request more information for The Well.

Thinking about joining our community, A note from our founder Chonteau:
Greetings, Are you wondering if joining our online community is for you? We have several communities so here are a few things to consider:
First, you do not have to be Black, Indigenous or a Person of Color to enjoy our offerings. There are offerings for all folks, and there are offerings for BI and PoC specifically.
Joining our email community is about staying informed with what is going on so you can choose what courses, programs and products fit you best. You will receive detailed information about what is coming and how you can be a part. I also like to send other inspiring content about what I am doing and what's on my mind.
Connecting with our Soul Care U Instagram will give you day to day thoughts and inspirations around our subject areas from a conscious cultural perspective.
Connecting with my Chonteau McElvin Instagram will give you day to day insights and inspirations, as it relates to my journey as a conscious wisdom keeper, healer and holistic practitioner.
