One-on-One Experiences | Group Retreats | Bespoke Opportunities

The Pearl Within is a sanctuary for transformation. Our offerings invite you to slow down, turn inward, and rediscover the wisdom and clarity already inside you. Through the alchemy of evidence-based medicine work, compassionate guidance, and reflective integration, we help you move from protective shell to luminous self.

Sacred Shell Journey

Dive deep into your personal tides with an intimate, one-on-one journey. Explore the currents of your inner world, where your soul meets the sea of possibility.

Tidal Retreats

Immerse yourself in seasonal rhythms and the power of shared transformation. These retreats guide you to align with nature’s cycles, tune into your inner tides, and experience the profound healing that unfolds when we journey together as a community that resonates far beyond the individual.

Bespoke Opportunities

Curated for intention and resonance, these bespoke group experiences are designed around your unique circle, whether friends, colleagues, or kindred spirits united by a shared purpose. Together, we co-create sacred spaces for growth, reflection, and transformation, weaving in art, creativity, and mindful practices that honor each circle. Ask for what you want to come alive and we make it happen!

the heart of this work is integration

My role is not to usher you into highs. It is to help you cultivate everlasting change.

Transformation becomes durable when:

  • insights translate into new habits,

  • emotional openings deepen into embodied resilience,

  • clarity becomes action,

  • and inner wisdom becomes a lived way of being.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Allie Runkel

I bring a clinically grounded psychotherapeutic perspective as a licensed therapist, and I weave it together with years of training and apprenticing in sacred, contemplative, and ceremonial healing traditions. 

This integration allows me to hold the work with both clinical precision and deep reverence.

I bridge two worlds: the clarity and steadiness of clinical psychotherapy, and the depth and wisdom gained through years of apprenticeship in sacred ceremonial traditions. Together, they form a grounded yet soulful approach to healing and integration.

Some clients explore mental health or personal growth through spiritual, contemplative, or nature-based traditions. I acknowledge that many people understand healing through religious, spiritual, or ceremonial frameworks, and I respect the diversity of these beliefs.

To the extent permitted by law, my role is limited to:

  • supporting clients in integrating their experiences (whether spiritual, emotional, or contemplative),

  • providing a safe, legal, and nonjudgmental space, and

  • honoring sincerely held spiritual or religious perspectives.

    As a psychedelic integration guide, Allie Runkel is not promoting the mindless use or consumption of sacred medicines. Allie Runkel is only offering support for the integration of psychedelic experiences – if you so choose to consume them – for the purpose of healing, transformation, growth, and expansion of consciousness.​

    If you choose to use psychedelics or other sacred medicines, you are choosing to do so as a personal choice, from your own free will, not based on any recommendation from any outside parties including Allie Runkel. Please be advised that the consumption of psychedelics is still an illegal offense in the US, and many other countries around the world. ​

    Please take ownership and full responsibility for the choices you are making for your body, your physical and mental health, and your life.
