The Illuminating Collective
Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science for Transformational Growth
The Illuminating Collective blends ancient wisdom with modern science, crafting bespoke transformational experiences so you can illuminate your best self. Our team of world-renowned scientists, licensed therapists, and visionary leaders is dedicated to improving mental health and walking alongside each person in their personal development journey. Employing science-backed, evidence-based modalities, our programs are validated by cutting-edge academic research and intense scientific scrutiny to provide a safe, informed, and legal experience here in America.
What Makes Us Different
At The Illuminating Collective, we understand the toll that misalignment with your physical and spiritual self can take on your daily life – from relationships to traumatic career experiences. We also understand how conventional medicine only treats symptoms instead of seeing a person as a whole body—a body with physical, emotional, and spiritual elements.
We intentionally have separate retreats for veterans and first responders (Illuminating Heroes) and civilians (Illuminating Souls). We are grateful for our generous civilian participants and supporters. As a veteran-owned organization, we are uniquely positioned to understand and prioritize the specialized support required for our Heroes.

Illuminating Souls
The Civilian program that's changing lives and delivering purpose.
"Participating in this program has been the most transformative experience of my life. I was able to release an immense amount of pain and suffering, forgive pain caused by others, and truly understand so many things that troubled me for decades …"
"Just coming from the dark place I was in before to where I am now is shocking – to me and everyone around me. I seem to be handling everything so much better now."
"Initially, the idea of healing through a plant medicine retreat sounded absurd – more like a party than a wellness retreat. However, I discovered these medicines to be incredibly valuable when administered correctly, paired with weeks of preparation and integration, and approached with healing intentions."
