Illuminate your purpose and heal what holds you back, through sacred medicine, holistic practice, and a community that walks beside you.
Illuminating Souls is a place to reconnect with your true self. Through sacred medicine, holistic practices, and a supportive community, you'll come to understand yourself more fully, accept what can't be changed, and move into your light.
Our programs grew out of years of trauma-informed work with veterans and first responders. Civilians now benefit from that experience, in retreats designed around their own challenges.
When you join Illuminating Souls, your program helps fund healing for veterans and first responders in need.

"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. My anxiety has vanished, and my heart feels overwhelmingly full."

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We’ll listen to what’s bringing you here, what you hope to explore, and what kind of support you need. Each program has its own purpose, rhythm, and screening process, and we’ll help you discern whether one feels like a good fit.
Sometimes the right next step is a conversation. Sometimes it’s more preparation, or deciding the timing isn’t right yet. We’ll meet that honestly and respectfully.
We believe each of the medicines we work with can be facilitated safely when the process includes thoughtful screening, appropriate dosing, adequate preparation, and meaningful integration. These are essential parts of our approach, not extras.
Before a retreat, we take time to understand each person’s health, medications, history, intentions, and support needs. We explain the safeguards and risks specific to the program so participants can make an informed decision.
Our commitment is to hold this work with discernment, care, and respect for the person and the medicine.
Pricing depends on the retreat and room type. Vine of the Soul starts at $3,500 shared; Rite of Rebirth starts at $11,000 shared. Full pricing is on each retreat page.
The Illuminating Collective is a spiritual community, and our ceremonies are sincere expressions of our faith. The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion. The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act provide further protections against government actions that substantially burden religious practice, subject to the standards set out in those laws.
We believe these constitutional and statutory protections apply to our religious/spiritual practice, including our sacramental work. We hold this responsibility with reverence, integrity, and care, and welcome honest conversations about our beliefs and practices.
The retreat is one part of a longer journey. The 12 weeks afterward form a guided integration and transformation course, with weekly learning modules, written exercises, group meetings, and individual coaching sessions.
Together, these create space to reflect, stay connected, and put what you’re learning into practice in everyday life.
