About us
You are very much welcome to join our community, our sangha. We sense that community is something that people are missing, even craving, whether they know it or not.
In these modern times, people are more connected through technology than ever before. Paradoxically, many are feeling more isolated than ever before.
There is no doubt that technology is a valuable tool that has done much to improve communication. Yet there is no substitute for the direct, face to face experience.
It is also clear that people are living very busy, stressful lives. Despite this, no matter how productive they are, many are lacking a sense of true purpose.
Again, technology allows us to work much more efficiently than ever before, but if we don’t feel passionate about what we are doing, then it can leave us empty at the end of the day.
This is where community enters the picture. Connecting to like minded souls, celebrating life, honoring nature, enjoying music, all while dramatically improving ourselves, these are just a few of the reasons we gather.
Our community intends to balance the extreme forces of society that are leading to sickness and insanity. The end result that we wish for you is inspiration, creativity, rejuvenation, and vitality.

Group Calls
These are the three stages of ceremony, also known more simply as before, during and after.
The preparation phase is the weeks and months leading up to the workshop. In addition to receiving guidance from us, you will also have access to group calls for support.
The navigation phase is when you arrive at the venue and for the first time meet in person all the other participants who will be sharing this profound experience with you.
The integration phase is the weeks and months following the workshop. This is an important time to embody the insights received. Once again, in addition to receiving guidance from us, you will also have access to group calls for support.
Prepare, Navigate, Integrate

Eric is the founder and serves as the facilitator for Lumiar. He has immersed himself in the field of sacred plant medicine since 2015. During this time he has spent years visiting places such as Brazil and Peru in order to learn how best to work with our sacrament. The core of his initiation included his role as caretaker for a wild and isolated healing center in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil for three consecutive winters. He has experience serving in Washington state since 2019.
Eric became fascinated with the potential for sacred plant medicine to accelerate transformation at the individual level, which he see as an essential step for creating a better society. His personal vision is to live in alignment with the teachings of the sacrament. His higher vision is to inspire the formation of communities similar to Lumiar around the world, leading to the preservation and restoration of our home, Mother Earth. Eric is very grateful for the lineage that came before him, the tradition we practice that is the foundation of our work, and especially for the opportunity to learn from his Brazilian mentor Norberto.
