Justin LaPree, the guiding force behind Heroic Path to Light, stands as a beacon of hope and transformation for those embattled by mental health challenges. As the Founder and President of this pioneering Entheogenic Sanctuary in Austin, Texas, he dedicates himself to the healing of veterans, first responders, and Gold/White Star families through the profound wisdom of entheogenic therapies.

​

Mirroring the very community he serves, Justin's journey is marked by a tapestry of profound experiences. A decorated Marine and a former Austin firefighter, his path has been shaped by service, sacrifice, and resilience. His tenure on Wall Street and entrepreneurial ventures further honed his leadership, culminating in a personal mission forged from adversity. A harrowing brush with death in 2018 — an unsuccessful suicide attempt stemming from his own battle with a traumatic brain injury and complex PTSD — became the catalyst for a profound personal transformation and the impetus for founding Heroic Path to Light.
