hi there 👋

Welcome to Illuminate the Brain, aka ITB!

We're an ever-evolving curation of conscious resources. This is the beginnings of a community-built hub, jumpstarted by one human as of now (hi, I'm Ally). It's a place to discover & share as we collaboratively cultivate an ecosystem of tools, practices, and people who can uniquely support each of us, and are readily available at our fingertips – but we simply may not know exist.

If you’re just getting started:

Use ITB as a way to discover & experiment with different resources in order to find the ones that resonate with you. We encourage you to be your own guide, your own authority – to let your curiosity guide you as you explore anything that piques your interest, and to customize it anyway you like. Keep in mind, what resonates with you today might change tomorrow, and what feels irrelevant now may find meaning later.

If you've been on your journey for a while:

Please share with us the resources, knowledge, and wisdom you’ve discovered along the way. Help us curate a web of resources that can support others along their unique journey, and perhaps discover something new for yourself along the way.

Keep in mind 💡

Each resource page is a living work in progress – imperfect and evolving as we refine and expand the wisdom within it. I am not an expert in any of these topics; I am simply establishing a space for collective collaboration. The resources offered thus far have come from various sources: some passed down through my family, others learned from friends, colleagues, and personal experience, and many drawn from the teachings of various experts in their field. This hub is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather, a starting place. And like you, I'm here to learn.

Check out our FAQs for a breakdown of how each resource page is laid out.
