Lumira is a space where books, bodywork and creative practices meet. A gentle revolution that starts from within and slowly spills into the way you work, lead, create and relate to others.
First retreats and workshops launching 2026 · Tuscany · Sicily · Paris
A living ecosystem of a book, retreats and creative labs designed to help you look at your life and work from a different angle – with more curiosity, compassion and courage.
Lumira was born from years spent moving between creative work, hospitality, and personal transformation. It is a project, a method and a mood: a way of reading your own story with kinder eyes, and of bringing that new gaze into your everyday decisions.
Question the narratives you inherited about success, productivity, and value. What if your story could be edited – starting from the way you look at it?
Use movement, writing, voice and play to experiment with new roles and scripts, without needing to “fix” yourself or your career all at once.
Integrate the insights into sustainable rituals, choices and relationships: a quieter, deeper kind of growth, rooted in your real life.
Lumira Life will unfold in three intertwined forms:
You can step into Lumira through any of these doors; each one is an invitation to slow down, feel, and gently redesign your inner map.
The Lumira book is a hybrid creature: part essay, part memoir, part workbook. It weaves together stories from the worlds of theatre, hospitality and everyday work to explore what happens when we dare to change the angle, instead of changing our entire life overnight.
Inside you will find:
The book is currently in development. Join the early list below to receive sample chapters, behind-the-scenes notes and invitations to the first Lumira events.
Lumira is not a “10 steps to success” manual. It is a space you can come back to when the world feels too loud, a place where you can sit with your own contradictions without having to perform clarity.
You can read it on a train between two cities, in the silence of a countryside kitchen, or in a break between emails – one chapter at a time, one question at a time.
Some chapters are designed to be shared with colleagues or friends, to open conversations about how you want to work and live together.
Lumira retreats are designed as temporary ecosystems: a few days suspended from routine, surrounded by landscapes that invite you to breathe differently. Movement, writing, voice, shared meals – all simple tools, used with radical care.
Retreats hosted in curated villas, where mornings start with gentle bodywork, afternoons are for deep work or rest, and evenings are for conversation, wine and stories. Ideal if you want to reconnect with your creative rhythm.
A more primal energy: walking by the sea, dancing barefoot, letting the body say what words cannot. Perfect for transitions, endings, beginnings – the moments when your life feels like it’s changing shape.
Shorter urban labs combining writing, museum walks and conversations in small groups. A way to re-enchant everyday life and inject quiet beauty into your work weeks.
Lumira collaborates with organisations that want to go beyond standard “team-building” and offer their people a space where honesty, vulnerability and play are welcome – without losing focus on business reality.
Examples of possible formats:
Every collaboration is tailored. Tell us what your team is going through – burnout, change, reorganisation, growth – and we will design an experience that speaks to that specific moment.
If Lumira resonates with something that is quietly moving inside you, leave your email. You’ll receive occasional letters with work-in-progress from the book, retreat announcements and a few questions to keep you company along the way.
Let’s talk.
