The Illuminating Collective is a non-denominational inner faith entheogenic church dedicated to awakening the human spirit through sacred ceremony, contemplative practice, and transformative community. We believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and cultivate a deeper relationship with the Divine. Through ethical sacramental practices, intentional preparation, and lifelong integration, we provide a safe and spiritually grounded path to lasting transformation.
Justin LaPree is a Marine, firefighter, and survivor. What began as his own breakthrough became a conviction: that no veteran or first responder should have to reach the edge alone. He built The Illuminating Co. so others could access what saved his life.
Watch his story below.
"The thing that stuck with me from that first experience was that I did not want to die anymore..."

What makes us different
You are not broken. You are carrying something that was never meant to be carried alone.
Conventional medicine treats symptoms. The Illuminating Co. goes to the root. We offer separate programs for veterans and first responders (Illuminating Heroes) and civilians (Illuminating Souls) because the wounds are different, and the healing should be too. As a veteran-owned nonprofit, we are uniquely positioned to hold space for those who have given the most.
