About Us
You are very much welcome to join our spiritual community, our sangha. I sense that spiritual community is something that people are missing, craving, whether they know it or not. We are creating a network of friends who can support each other, before and after the ceremony.Â
At Lumiar, we are a blend of many different spiritual traditions from around the world, but our foundation is firmly rooted in a lineage out of Brasil. We have more than five years of experience serving with care, integrity and respect. Our aim is to help you connect, heal, and awaken. We provide the best conditions for you to have a safe, profound and transformative experience with the sacrament. Beautiful music, amazing medicine and a peaceful location on Whidbey Island, WA.Â
We do not discriminate. All who pass a medical screening interview are welcome, including military veterans and first responders who face some of the highest rates of occupation related PTSD in the nation, and are among those most in need of this service.
We declare ourselves a spiritual community and claim our birthright as American citizens to consume our sacrament under protection of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).Â
Please send a Signal / WhatsApp message at +13605064989 (as I don’t receive regular texts while out of the country), or email if you would like to learn more.Â
Aho, Aloha, Kawsaypaq, Skol, Namaste, Haux Haux, Axé!
1 Reviews on “Lumiar”
I’d like to share part of my journey with Lumiar. For much of my life, I struggled with PTSD and anxiety. By the time I was 45, I had tried a wide range of approaches—therapy, meditation retreats, medications, and even dietary changes—but nothing brought lasting relief. I honestly believed this struggle would be a permanent part of my life, and I felt broken.
When I joined the first ceremony, I wasn’t expecting much. I was there mainly to support friends who had committed, and I saw it as a chance to experience something new. But what happened over the weekend completely changed my life. I felt a sense of healing I had never experienced before, and for the first time, I realized that my PTSD and anxiety were no longer a part of my life. 30 months later, this is still the case.
It’s hard to attribute my healing to just the medicine itself. The community at Lumiar played a significant role. The leaders are incredibly welcoming, and their genuine care and wisdom helped all of us feel at ease. Their earnestness to the entire process, including the respect of the history and origins of the medicine, along with their professionalism helped foster a completely trusting environment where everyone felt safe. The physical setting is just as important. The building, nestled within lush greenery on private land, provided a safe and peaceful space to step away from the pressures of everyday life. Aho!
