20 | LUXlife Magazine Orion Retreats is a boutique transformative travel and retreat production company that was founded on the belief that sacred travel is one of the most powerful catalysts for healing and human potential. The company offers two distinct operational pathways: planning and production for conscious leaders and organisers, and the Shine Your Divine Transformative Travel Membership. The company partners with facilitators, wellness brands, and conscious organisations to bring extraordinary healing experiences to life in some of the world’s most sacred destinations. Every facilitator, venue partner, local artisan, and collaborator who enters the world of Orion Retreats is chosen for their alignment with the overarching mission of conscious transformation and sacred stewardship. Shine Your Divine Transformative Traven Membership is a signature offering for women who are ready to travel the world with intention. The women who engage in this offering have already done the foundational inner work; they are healers, coaches, creatives, professionals, and mothers walking on a high octave, and are ready to finally live from their transformation rather than simply seek it. “We call it sacred travel, because the land itself is part of the healing work,” Lauren told us. “Bali holds the frequency of devotion; Iceland holds the frequency of elemental truth; Croatia holds the frequency of beauty as medicine; Costa Rica carries Pura Vida, joy fully embodied. The pull a woman feels towards a particular destination is soulful guidance from within. And we design every retreat around that understanding.” Each journey is led by a healing framework Lauren has developed over almost two decades as a shamanic healer, Ayurvedic practitioner, ordained minister, and quantum soul coach. Groups are kept small, between eight and 12 women, to ensure that every member feels truly known, held, and witnessed on their journey to spiritual transformation. Every Shine Your Divine membership funds Sacred Journey Scholarships through the Orion Foundation, its pending 501(c)(3), ensuring that access to this level of healing is not reserved only for those who can easily afford it. “This work is deeply personal,” said Lauren. “The Orion Foundation was created in honour of two men named Michael who shaped everything about why I do this: my father, and my brother. Their legacy lives in every scholarship we fund and every woman we help find her way to a journey she could not have taken alone.” The Shine Your Divine Transformative Travel Membership is now in motion and welcoming its founding circle, with the next wave of sacred destinations already calling to the sisterhood. The Kí Retreat Box, Orion Retreats’ beloved monthly sacred experience delivered to members’ doors, has been beautifully rebranded to reflect the sacred destinations and themes of the membership journey itself. Furthermore, Retreatpreneurs, Orion Retreats’ retreat leader education platform, is growing into live in-person immersive experiences to bring the next generation of conscious retreat leaders together in community. At the same time, its retreat and summit production services arm continues to support conscious leaders and organisations in bringing their own transformative retreat visions to life with full done-for-you production support. Finally, the vision that lives at the heart of everything Orion Retreats is building: The Orion Centre. This vision encompasses an eco-luxury wellness centre funded in part by the Orion Foundation, whose mission has always been to make healing accessible to every woman, regardless of her resources. Once established, the Orion Centre will be a living embodiment of everything the Orion ecosystem stands for, making space for the growing global community of women walking the sovereignty path together. “Our unique position is the integration of everything we offer into one living ecosystem; they are one interconnected body of work, each part feeding and elevating the others,” Lauren concluded. “A woman can enter our world through a $22 quarterly journal, travel with us to Croatia or Iceland, become a retreat leader through Retreatpreneurs or an instructor through the Orion Institute, and fund another woman’s healing journey through the Orion Foundation. That kind of full-spectrum pathway is rare in this industry.” She continued: “Five years of building this ecosystem has only deepened our certainty that sacred travel, conscious community, and transformative education are among the most powerful forces for healing available to us right now. We are honoured to be recognised for that work, and even more honoured to keep doing it.” Contact: Lauren Dickinson Company: Orion Retreats Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.orionretreats.com Best Transformative Travel Membership 2026 Sacred travel is on the rise, as travellers increasingly seek opportunities to find purpose and connection in their retreats.
