What Does Selah (say-la) Mean?
The word Selah comes from the Psalms. It is a Hebrew word with no english translation, but it means to take pause; to breathe and rest in what was just spoken; to contemplate and consider quietly. At Selah Space, we are offering the space and resources to live into and out of the idea of selah. When the client comes to Selah Space, they are able to choose from a list of beneficial services that will offer them a way to care for and love themselves so that they can offer their best selves to others. But Selah Space is offering, first a foremost, the space to do that. We mean ‘space’ holistically: physical space, mental space, spiritual space. We strive to offer a space that is inviting and pleasing and comforting so that our members can enter in, unburden themselves, become restored, and leave knowing that this same space is available and waiting the next day. We are creating the room for our clients to find wholeness, community, kinship, peace, and encouragement. So while Selah Space is a wellness cooperative; where people come to receive care in the form of spiritual direction, massage, or meditation, it is most importantly and uniquely, one space where we can offer one unified commitment to the care of each member’s whole self.
What is a holistic wellness cooperative?
A holistic wellness cooperative, simply put, is a place for members and practitioners to come together in one space to help one another become well. We believe in taking a holistic approach to this wellness. Mind-Body-Spirit-mother-entrepreneur-spouse-friend-ego-past-present-future. You get the idea.
Practitioners serve members collaboratively, meaning we ALL have your best healing journey at heart. This way, your therapy can align with the work you’re doing with your massage therapist, and your spiritual director can hold all of that in prayer for you.
