About Wilderness Rose
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Wilderness Rose is a trauma-informed leader, interfaith chaplain, and soul care coach whose journey defies expectation and honors transformation. After barely passing high school and repeatedly failing college courses, Rose was finally diagnosed with ADHD and multiple learning disorders — a revelation that reframed years of struggle and opened the door to self-understanding. Rather than retreat, she leaned into the challenge, developing adaptive strategies and a fierce commitment to equity in education, care, and leadership.
Her lived experience fuels her work today. Rose became a program director for homeless services in California, where she led interdisciplinary teams, designed trauma-informed workflows, and advocated for dignified recognition of marginalized changemakers. Her leadership is rooted in deep systems awareness and a commitment to ethical innovation — especially in the intersection of homelessness, mental health, and faith-based service delivery.
As an ordained interfaith chaplain and certified spiritual director, Wilderness offers soul care coaching to neurodivergent and deconstructing individuals, blending ritual design, narrative healing, and sensory-aware support. She earned her Master’s in Social Change and a certificate in Interfaith Spiritual Direction, grounding her practice in both academic rigor and spiritual depth.
Rose’s work spans narrative strategy, ethical AI, and legacy mapping — always with an eye toward honoring the dignity, complexity, and impact of those often overlooked. She is known for her ability to synthesize complex research into actionable insights, troubleshoot systems with precision, and craft recognition materials that resonate across cultures and communities.
Her story is not just one of personal resilience — it’s a call to reimagine leadership, care, and recognition for all.
Why Soul Care?
For neurodivergent individuals, soul care is not a luxury — it's a lifeline. In a world that often misunderstands or pathologizes difference, tending to the soul becomes a radical act of self-recognition and restoration.
Soul care offers space to honor sensory needs, process nonlinear experiences, and reclaim narratives that have been distorted by stigma or exclusion. It allows neurodivergent people to engage with their inner wisdom, spiritual identity, and emotional rhythms on their own terms — beyond diagnostic labels or productivity metrics. By integrating ritual, reflection, and compassionate presence, soul care becomes a sanctuary where healing, dignity, and authentic expression can thrive.
