About Runa Collective
A Home Rooted in Remebering…
Runa Collective is more than a retreat —it is a movement, a community, and a sacred space for transformation. Rooted in ancient wisdom and guided by modern integration practices, we offer an intentional path for those seeking deep healing, connection, and embodiment. Our mission is to support individuals in breaking free from conditioned patterns, reconnecting with their inner knowing, and stepping fully into their power.
At Runa Collective, we believe that healing is not a linear journey—it is a cyclical process of remembering, shedding, and becoming. Through immersive retreats, sacred ceremonies, somatic healing, and NLP-guided integration, we create spaces where individuals can explore their deepest truths in a safe and supportive environment. Whether through plant medicine, ancestral practices, or one-on-one mentorship, our work is about creating lasting change—not just surface-level breakthroughs, but true transformation that is integrated into everyday life.
Our approach is rooted in the understanding that we are not meant to heal alone. The word "Runa" originates from the Quechua language and translates to "The People"—those who walk the path of remembrance, who honor healing as both a personal and collective journey. Within this community, you are seen, held, and supported. This is a space where ancient teachings meet modern tools, where nature is our guide, and where healing happens through embodiment, connection, and sacred ritual.
Our Mission and Method
Our mission is to bridge ancient healing traditions with modern methodologies, offering a holistic, trauma-informed, and integrative approach to healing. We recognize that transformation does not come from knowledge alone but through embodied experience, emotional integration, and community support.
🔹 Sacred Ceremony & Rituals – Honoring indigenous traditions, plant medicine, fire circles, and guided spiritual practices.
🔹 Somatic & Embodiment Practices – NLP, breathwork, trauma-release exercises, and nervous system regulation techniques.
🔹 Nature Immersion & Earth-Based Teachings – Cold plunges, forest walks, and reconnecting with the wisdom of the land.
🔹 Integration & Mentorship – Beyond the experience, we provide personalized support to bring your healing into daily life.

Founder of Runa Collective | Trauma-Informed Guide | NLP Practitioner | Energy Healer
Shannon Gilmore is a devoted space holder, healer, and guide dedicated to walking with others on their path of self-discovery and transformation. With years of experience in somatic healing, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), trauma integration, and ancestral wisdom practices, she bridges ancient teachings with modern healing modalities to create safe, empowering, and deeply transformative spaces for individuals ready to step into their power.
Shannon’s journey began with her own search for healing—navigating through the depths of trauma, emotional conditioning, and patterns that kept her disconnected from her truth. Through her own inner work, she discovered the power of nervous system healing, subconscious reprogramming, and ceremonial practices, which allowed her to step fully into alignment with her purpose. Now, she dedicates her life to helping others do the same.
Her approach is deeply intuitive, integrative, and trauma-informed. Using a combination of NLP, breathwork, hypnotherapy, energy healing, and plant medicine integration, she helps clients uncover the root causes of their struggles, release limiting beliefs, and step into an embodied sense of self-trust and empowerment.
