Lumalia’s debut memoir, Blooming Upside Down, is out now!

Celebrating All the People I’ve Been: In The Diasies Photos

Is your not enough wound pulling the strings of your life?

Hi lovely, I’m Lumalia, beauty hunter here at Celebrate Again on a mission to guide humans into a  life gushing with depth, sensuality, and unshakable connection by helping us remember we are the plot twist alchemists. 

I often find myself in this place, hiding, not wanting to be seen, the wallflower expert. 

But something in me cannot stay there, I have TOO much to share! But it’s so easy to hide that I’ve been supported by a lot of my family, that I wrote a book on healing when I was still breaking out in rashes, that I’m taking wild steps to invest in myself when I’ve been in my hardest year of business to date.

But that’s shame speaking, my fear wanting to protect me from getting hurt, because if I told you all my shameful stories I’d get OUTCAST! and Die…or at least that’s what our nervous systems believe.

Until we practice celebrating our shame.

"is your not enough wound running the show" text over Lumalia near a mountain

Your not enough wound 

Can pull you deeper into your shame

Or deeper into your desires. 

 The bending point. Celebration.

Celebration breaks the pattern of hiding which is what shame does asks us to hide.

Celebration is turning the exact OPPOSITE way of shame, and saying, actually, I’m going to make this scary thing I’m ashamed of my greatest gift. 

And in doing so, we not only build compassion but we ALCHEMIZE the very thing we once shamed and give it space to be loved, seen first by us, then in community, so it can feel like oh…it wasn’t something I needed to be afraid of. 

What you choose to do will be reflected back to you. 

If you keep hiding what you’re ashamed of it’s going to keep coming up to get your attention because everything wants to heal and evolve. 

So you can wait for that initiation 

or

Choose a celebration that breaks its hold. 

Until we practice celebrating our shame and practice in community, this is why I’m here, celebration really does look good on you, especially when we bring your shame to the table, honor it, thank it, and choose YOU.

And this is precisely what we did in my Celebrating The People I’ve Been mini Blooming Caverns retreat

We gathered in a group somatic movement meditation practice to connect with our feelings states of shame and gave them a space to be witnessed and released somatically. 

Then we wrote love letters to the little parts of us still stuck in those stories of shame and spent the rest of the evening celebrating each other, spending time in nature, and documenting our experience.

Abby review of women's retreats "Such a magical mini Women’s retreat that allowed me to tap in to my heart, connect with all the versions of myself that I’ve been and grown through, and give all of them necessary self-love. I felt safe and comfortable with Lumalia as a guide and felt my inner beauty shine through having photography as an element of this. I loved being in a gorgeous outdoor setting in Oregon!!"

About the Author

Hey, I’m Lumalia, photographer, author, certified somatic movement yoga teacher, and the main voice behind Celebrate Again. I call myself a connection architect because I have a deep passion for guiding us all to fall back in love with life through states of beauty, but many of us are far from feeling at home in our own bodies, so we seek to find safety in others. 

Yikes, that’s scary, I know; I did that for three decades, too, until I returned home to myself.

I’m so excited to share with you all I’ve learned and this beautiful journey back home to what makes you absolutely stunning just because you are alive today.
