Protected Sacred Healing in the Heart of Texas and Beyond
Breaking Past the Limits of Western Medicine
At TICo, we understand the toll that misalignment with your physical self and spiritual self can take on your daily life, from relationships to traumatic career experiences. We also understand how conventional medicine only addresses one-off symptoms, ignoring the interconnectedness of our health with all aspects of life; our beautiful bodies consisting of physical, emotional, and spiritual elements.
Veteran Informed
Since our services were first offered solely to veterans, first responders, and their families, our civilian Illuminators now benefit from years of successful, trauma-informed, highly personalized transformations. Our guides are well-versed in curating therapies to your unique needs; they've seen it all! We intentionally offer separate retreats for civilians through the Illuminating Souls program so that your retreat can focus on challenges specific to you, while Illuminating Heroes program continues to focus on healing for those who serve our citizens.
Integration for Lasting Change
Other organization's retreats start and finish in just days. Our program is grounded in the belief that there is no lasting change without integration; a lasting transformation should unfold over months, not days. Our 25-week (6.5 month) approach is uniquely personalized to deliver high-touch, deeply personalized care in support of your unique transformation.
Safe and Legal Here in America
Retreats occur in a gorgeous sanctuary in the Texas Hill Country, providing you with a safe and legal healing experience here in America. To access comparable retreats, in safety and legality, would require your passport and travel vaccinations to be up to date. We believe healing close to home is not only less complicated but also empowers our Illuminators to focus on their growth.... not the itinerary.
Testimonial
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 … and this was night number one! The final Bufo ceremony brought an indescribable sense of peace that passes all understanding. No words can truly capture this experience, but it has profoundly changed my life. Since that day, I have quit vaping and haven't looked back. My anxiety has vanished, and my heart feels overwhelmingly full. For as long as I can remember, I felt there was a deeper purpose to my life, and at 49, I finally see that every moment has led me to this revelation. I’m committed to continuing this journey and hope to help others discover the power and beauty of this thing we call LIFE.
