Meet Your Movement Meditation Facilitator

Hi there, I’m Lumalia, a connection architect dedicated to exploring the beauty of human existence through creative expression, embodiment, and writing. At Celebrate Again, my roles encompass being a published author, a certified yoga and movement meditation teacher (with a 200-hour Yoga Alliance and Kindrêd facilitator certification), a Yoga Nidra certified instructor, and an internationally published photographer.

My journey involved profound healing from chronic illnesses that had plagued me for a decade, leaving me disabled for most of my twenties. I’ve also navigated near-death experiences and the complexities of PTSD. Through these challenges, I’ve understood that we all possess the power to be creators of our own lives. Where we direct our attention, our energy follows. Drawing from my training and life experiences, I’m passionate about guiding groups to tap into the deep wisdom within themselves. I use playful and imaginative approaches to help individuals explore their subconscious while emphasizing the power of human connection to validate this inner journey. I’m thrilled to have you join us on this adventure!
