Details

Whether you join IN PERSON or via LIVESTREAM, The Illuminated Heart is an evening-long healing retreat designed to gently guide you out of daily stress and into a field of presence, clarity, and inner peace. Held within the sacred and inclusive space of Unity Spiritual Center of Santa Barbara, this immersive experience weaves together prayer, breathwork, energy alignment, guided meditation, visualization, and live healing music to open the heart and quiet the mind. The atmosphere is warm, supportive, and soul-nurturing. It is a place where you can slow down, release what no longer serves you, and remember the deeper truth of who you are. Through intentional practices and shared connection, you’ll feel anchored in community, held in love, and invited to return to your inner guidance. Participants often experience a calm reset of the nervous system, emotional release, heart activation, and a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. The Illuminated Heart offers tools for lasting transformation, from deeper self-trust and inner peace to a felt sense of belonging that carries beyond the retreat. Retreat Host, Spiritual Leader + Transformational Healer, Ragan Thomson: Ragan holds deeply supportive healing spaces that invite purification, nervous system calm, and soul-level remembrance. Her work is both loving and practical, rooted in Unity Consciousness and the lived experience of integrating spirituality into everyday life. Through guided meditation, transmission, and heart-centered practices, she helps participants reconnect to their Divine I Am presence—restoring clarity, inner steadiness, and a felt sense of belonging that carries beyond the retreat space. Retreat Musical Guest + Sound Healing Artist- Prema Love: Prema Love offers soul-stirring music and sound healing that gently opens the heart and supports deep emotional integration. Through live performance and vibrational work, she creates a space where tenderness, strength, and authenticity can rise together. Her music helps soften emotional layers, uplift the nervous system, and awaken authentic expression—allowing your voice and inner light to move through the world with greater freedom and confidence. Retreat Ascension Coach + Quantum Guide, Vandana Sinha Vandana bridges the spiritual and the practical, guiding conscious individuals into deeper alignment and energetic clarity. With decades of spiritual study and a 20-year corporate background, she makes quantum and metaphysical work accessible and grounded.

We are Unity and we are also New Thought. We teach and model truths that are mystical and reflect Unity, Science of mind and modern day mysticism. We teach a positive message that supports each man, woman, and child on his or her own unique path to understanding the power and presence of the divine active in the world. Rather than focusing on what divides people, we affirm the common ground that unites us all in one human collective.

Testimonials

info

Thank you so much for this enriching experience. I was blown away by how deeply powerful the clearing work was - I was called into the light at the deepest level. Ragan held us through the whole journey. I feel so grateful to have her guidance in purification and aligning with my highest self, in service to the whole. I look forward to the next retreat.

That was an absolutely amazing experience, so much Divine transmission, clearing and amplification of authenticity facilitated by Ragan Thomson.

Just a little note to give gratitude for your transmission and seeing you in your purpose and service in fullness. It inspires me. I woke up feeling the white light all around still. Carrying it forward. Thank you!

Natalie B., United States

I cannot thank you enough. I feel so much better today. The work definitely removed old baggage for me… I feel way more connected with my spirit for the first time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
