You’ve been living with chronic illness, and your body feels like a battleground. You yearn to make meaning out of your experience, but religion has always hurt you. Deep down, you still believe in something sacred- you’re just not sure how to find it.
The SOAR program is for people who feel like something profound is missing in their healing journey. People with chronic illness often have their symptoms medicalized and pathologized, and can end up feeling isolated and broken. This is NOT the path to deeper healing.
Your pain is profoundly meaningful. Your illness isn’t your body breaking down- it’s an initiation that you can accept or refuse.

 

This 4-month immersive journey weaves somatic therapy, mysticism, and structured spiritual practices to help you:

 

Heal the trauma of religious conditioning
 
Rebuild your connection to God- without harmful dogma
 
Understand illness as a spiritual threshold, not a life sentence
Awaken your inner healer, guide, and mystic
 
Cultivate an embodied spiritual practice rooted in joy, ritual, and your own sacred intuition

 

Chronic illness can feel like betrayal. But it is also a call inward- a dismantling of inherited beliefs that no longer serve you, and a doorway to who you truly are.

 

In SOAR, you’ll move through a sacred arc of transformational practices. You’ll learn the power of archetypes, ceremony, dreamwork, and nervous system regulation- all the tools necessary to transmute the pain of your past into embodied wisdom. You’ll reclaim what once silenced you- and find within your trauma the tools of your liberation.
 

You are not broken.
You are becoming.
SOAR is the path that brings you home to yourself.

 

Why Jen Donovan and Mike Welch Are the Guides You’ve Been Waiting For

 

Healing religious trauma and chronic illness requires more than just knowledge- it takes embodied wisdom, nervous system fluency, and spiritual depth. Jen Donovan and Mike Welch bring all of that, and more.
 
Jen Donovan is a nervous system educator, chronic illness survivor and devoted mystic whose path of recovery led her to rebuild her relationship with the Divine from the ground up. With a background in esoteric study, trauma-informed teaching, and mental health clinical work, Jen doesn’t just teach transformation- she’s lived it. Her work helps people gently unravel religious shame and spiritual disconnection with trauma recovery.
 
Mike Welch, a seasoned meditation instructor, magickal practitioner, and nervous system educator, brings years of experience in brain retraining, functional movement, occult studies, and body-based integration. His grounded presence helps participants feel safe enough to explore the deeper layers of their healing and spiritual awakening.
 
Together, Jen and Mike offer a rare combination of mystical insight and therapeutic precision. They meet you in your wholeness, honor your history, and walk beside you as you reclaim your vitality, your voice, and your connection to Source.
 
This isn’t just a curriculum- it’s mentorship for your soul.

Guided by the integrated wisdom of neuroscience, somatic work, mysticism, and modern alchemy, you’ll explore:

  • How to break free from religious conditioning and finding your personal truth

  • How spiritual practices provide a code for regulating the  nervous system and expanding our consciousness

  • How illness and trauma can become spiritual initiations

  • How to heal the inner child and retrieve lost parts of the soul

  • How to cultivate gnosis- a deep, spontaneous knowing and connection with God through archetypal studies, ritual, dreamwork, and embodied insight

  • How to rebuild your spiritual practice with intention, symbols, and ceremony that feel joyful, not repressive

Each live session blends somatic practice, spiritual teaching, and personal inquiry. With expert guidance from Jen and Mike, participants will move through a sacred arc of transformation rooted in polyvagal theory, esotericism, developmental psychology, and mystical practice.

 

You’ll emerge from SOAR with more than knowledge- you’ll have a lived, embodied spiritual path that’s entirely your own.
 
It’s time to remember who you are. To reclaim your sovereignty. To become medicine for yourself and the world.
