Become a Member of The Illuminating Co.

The Illuminating Co. is a pioneering healing organization that combines ancient plant-based wisdom with modern scientific breakthroughs to offer unique entheogenic therapeutic modalities. We focus on holistic personal development and wellness through two main programs: Illuminating Heroes, serving veterans and first responders, and Illuminating Souls, serving civilians seeking personal and spiritual growth.

Our services are designed for anyone seeking personal growth, healing, and transformation. We specialize in supporting veterans and first responders through our fully-funded Illuminating Heroes program, and civilians through Illuminating Souls membership. If you've explored conventional healthcare and wellness and haven't found the healing you deserve, we may be a fit.

We offer entheogenic healing modalities combined with comprehensive preparation and integration support, therapy, coaching, and psycho-spiritual guidance. Our programs incorporate sacred plant medicines rooted in ancient wisdom and validated by rigorous scientific research, including psilocybin, Huachuma (San Pedro), Bufo Alvarius, and breathwork, among others. Each experience is tailored to the individual's healing journey.

Safety is our highest priority. All modalities are grounded in scientific research. We conduct thorough pre-screening assessments before every retreat, and all sessions are supervised by trained guides, a resident nurse practitioner, and a licensed psychologist in our private sanctuary setting. Our 21-week program includes 8 weeks of preparation and 12 weeks of integration to provide maximum support before, during, and after your experience.

If you're exploring alternatives to conventional mental health and wellness approaches, and you're drawn to a holistic, integrative path, our programs may be a strong fit. We recommend starting with an application or reaching out directly to speak with our team. We'll help you understand whether our approach aligns with where you are and where you want to go.

We integrate scientific innovation with traditional healing wisdom, operate with a deep commitment to ethical practice, and provide specialized support for veterans and first responders alongside our civilian program. Our approach is highly personal. We don't treat symptoms. We walk alongside the whole person, using a 21-week path that blends ceremony, therapy, coaching, and community.

We adhere strictly to all applicable data protection laws and go beyond compliance to protect the confidentiality of our participants. Your information and treatment details are handled with the utmost discretion. The location of our sanctuary is also kept private until after participants are fully accepted into a program.

We value open communication and offer several ways to reach us:  through our website contact form, directly through your personal guide or coordinator during your program, or by emailing our team. All feedback is taken seriously and addressed with care.

Yes. Integration support is a central part of what we do, not an afterthought. Our 12-week post-retreat integration phase includes follow-up sessions, community connection, and ongoing resources to help what you experienced take root in your daily life. Healing doesn't end when the retreat does.

Starting is simple. Submit an application through our website or reach out to our team directly to have a conversation. We'll walk you through the process, help you determine which program is right for you, and answer any questions along the way. Every journey here begins with a single step.
