Lumia Coaching represents light and community in so many ways, and so it is timely to evoke the spirit of the solstice. The field of coaching relies on shedding light on our blind spots so that we can overcome barriers to becoming the person we have always wanted to be.

Lumia was built on the concept of community and shared values - folks find kinship, psychological safety and friendship in our shared spaces. To facilitate community, we host a variety of resources for our students and alumni: Slack channels, Facebook groups, monthly Coaching Cafes, mentor groups, along with live and virtual gatherings. Resource sharing is the foundation of what we do.

We know how beneficial engagement is for our people, and so want to offer the importance of ritual and community to you this solstice. As you think about the weeks ahead, what seeds can you plant for yourself?
