Highest quality sacrament
Sourced directly from our longtime and trusted partners in Brazil, true masters of their craft. Our relationship with them supports their ambitious environmental project to become more self sufficient. By cultivating the plants themselves, they avoid the exploitation of the Amazon Rainforest. This ensures a sustainable supply of our sacrament for decades to come.
Meaningful music
Facilitated with care and integrity
Physical and psychological safety
Our top priority is always for you to leave in better condition than you arrived, much better. When the goal is lasting transformation for every person who attends a Lumiar ceremony, then safety becomes an obvious necessity. Balanced male-female co-facilitation is provided. All participants are screened prior to registration for any contraindications that would prevent them from attending.
Our intention is to get out of the way as much as possible in order for you to develop a direct relationship with the sacrament. We provide the best setting for you to receive the most benefits. Our purpose is to serve you with care. Guidance and support are always available as needed. Ethical guidelines are adhered to. We have been serving in Northwest Washington since 2019.
Having clearly defined basic rules for the ceremony allows you to go through your process as needed. We find that excessive expectations and restrictions can inhibit people from releasing whatever is ready to come out. Knowing that you occupy a safe and grounded container makes it easier to fully explore the heights and depths of your journey. You are invited to be authentic and feel whatever you are feeling. There is no pressure to smile if you are processing sad memories.
Our mentor came from a tradition that originated in Brazil. He helped to create an innovative style of ceremony that is the foundation of our practice. We have completed a proper immersion while serving for three consecutive winters as the caretakers for his isolated healing center in the Atlantic Rainforest. As the learning never really ends, we also continue to attend workshops with his Dutch community every year.
Brazilian lineage and tradition
Freedom within structure
Continuing the pioneering ways of those who came before us, we provide a multi genre, multi cultural library of some of the finest musicians in the world. High quality recordings enhance the experience when combined with premium speakers. Songs are selected that are in tune and appropriate for the moment. Silent introspective breaks between songs are equally as important as the music. And yes, we also recognize the tradition and value of producing live sounds.
