The Collective Philippines Origin Story

The story of Collective Philippines begins with a vision rooted in seeking community, purpose, and transformation. It is a tale of individuals with humble beginnings and a Facebook Group, coming together to create something greater than themselves. Coco was just a few years into his astrological study and practice with what was then known as Cosmic Connections in 2018 when he would open up the Seeker's Circle to students in search for community and shared purpose. Driven by a desire to uplift and empower the next generation of spiritualists, Coco (@DearCoco.LIVE) along with Kali (@Kaliwanagan.ph) and a handful of seekers from the first Seeker Circle in 2019 would decide to spark a movement that would co-create spiritual brands connecting people across the nation and eventually the world.

Founded as The Collective in 2020, Collective Philippines began as a collaboration of spiritual brands and seekers, united by a shared vision: to create a safe, inclusive space where practitioners of all backgrounds could connect and generate meaningful social impact through their spiritual practice. At its inception, the collective was small but powerful, anchored by its key founders: the Capricorn Ate Wayne (@tarotradio.ph), the Taurus Coco D. Santos Financial Astrologer, and the Virgo Aly (@theblessedbhie). More seekers would fill their ranks as The Collective expanded into the Collective Community in 2022. They hosted immersive retreats that blended love and mastery of the craft with social impact and community engagement.

As the collective grew, spiritual paths and personal opinions naturally began to diverge. As Aly, Coco and the other Seekers started to gain media exposure, wider recognition prompted a step back and a re-evaluation of purpose. This soul searching would lead to differing paths and an evolution from The Collective Community to Collective Philippines. This change was more than just a name. It signified a deeper commitment to authentic spiritual practice, community service, and spiritual heritage. By centering the Philippines in its identity, the organization became a platform for a unified community of spiritual seekers, representing its diverse cultural and spiritual tradition on a global stage.

Today, Collective Philippines embodies a Conscious Collective: a network of spiritually attuned, ethically anchored, and socially engaged practitioners. Spiritual maturity is expressed not only through personal awareness, but through service, stewardship, and practical leadership. Ancient wisdom and esoteric traditions are honored and integrated with contemporary social consciousness, civic responsibility, and ethical mentorship.

Programs like Cosmic Reset and SoulGlow exemplify this philosophy. Retreats have evolved from commercially branded events to community-driven experiences where practitioners are vetted for alignment and integrity rather than popularity or monetization. SoulGlow extends this mission into corporate spaces, bridging spiritual insight with wellness and social well-being initiatives.

Collective Philippines now serves a global network of seekers and practitioners. Through its ecosystem, individuals are encouraged to see themselves not as isolated seekers but as participants in an interdependent field of consciousness responsible for how wisdom, influence, and spiritual power are applied in society. Differences among practitioners and spiritual brands are viewed not as points of conflict, but as opportunities to grow, collaborate, and collectively shape the future.

At its core, the organization defines spiritual leadership as servant leadership: the recognition that every individual has a purpose that ultimately serves the highest good. This mindset underpins all initiatives, ensuring that spirituality is not an escape from reality but a shared language of purpose. Collective Philippines envisions a future in which awakened consciousness, global community, and social action align with the hope to foster a more ethical, coherent, and awakened world with the Philippines as the spiritual heart of it.
