"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
Welcome home to your Sanctuary -
Join a growing community coming together under a simple and grounded evolutionary precept: We have the power to live the life of our dreams.
We can forge a new path, embody new ways of thinking, making decisions, respecting resources, communicating, and creating, and we can start living it TODAY.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Although we each take steps in our own lives, we are not alone. Standing together, sharing our wisdom and experience, helping each other along a path that we are creating as we walk it, carrying the light within each of us - this is Luminaria.
Who Is Luminaria Sanctuary?
Luminaria Sanctuary is a group of humans who are consciously devoted to participating in the evolution of humanity to a more harmonic, sustainable state.
We began as an ignited community who created Luminaria Sanctuary Retreat Center in 2010 in the Pacific NW of the USA, but we soon outgrew it.
...AND WE'RE GROWING MORE!
We are now a growing force of inspired evolutionaries from all over the world.
Luminaria Community Members are
- Action-Takers
- Change-Makers
- Seekers & Dreamers
- Practical Creatives
- Conscious Evolutionaries
- Possibly YOU?
The journey starts as a spark within each of us. Step-by-step, we use our personal and collective highest visions & dreams to stretch beyond WHAT IS to WHAT IS POSSIBLE. We align our actions with the outcomes of our BIG AUDACIOUS DREAMS (the ones that extend beyond even our own lives), and we encourage, teach and support each other in learning how to make them come true!
We are smart, practical revolutionaries, gathering the personal, social, spiritual & technical skills we need to make a positive impact on the planet, expanding our awareness and creative intelligence intentionally.
And we're walking our talk...
Luminaria core members (who were involved with the creation and first phase of Luminaria) have all been hard at work in their own conscious evolutionary processes - as well as planning how to accommodate our growing community.
Melinda & Steve of Luminaria Sanctuary & Honaunau Farm have taken their love of permaculture & community to a new level helping heal the planet, with Mana Artisan Botanics.
Jennifer Alyse created the EmPowerEd Event to offer experiential tools for women to live an empowered life, as well as Soul Space.
Amber Jade is masterminding the next phases of Luminaria Sanctuary, and The Luminaria, bringing this human-empowerment project to an international level.

WHAT'S A LUMINARIA ANYWAY?
luminaria - noun - a traditional Mexican Christmas lantern originally consisting of a candle set in sand inside a paper bag.
Doesn't sound THAT exciting does it?
But when you see a stunningly beautiful ocean of them lighting a path through the wintery darkness, you understand...
our collective inner light can guide our way home.
OUR MISSION
We, the community of Luminaria, are a collective of proactive human beings who have come together with the intention of supporting human evolution as a work of art. Participating in sustainability, engaging in community, creating abundance, the unfolding path of our days becomes a living art form.
Expanding our awareness of natural systems, developing and sharing skills and techniques, seeking to understand the human condition, and empowering each other to bring truly inspired visions to life teaches us that the answer to the issues that plague the planet are not in any particular dogma, but are in the way we are present to the world and each other.
We hope that through opening the doors of our hearts and connecting beautiful people to other beautiful people with the intention of evolution, we can share gifts, become one another’s supporters, healers, teachers, students, spiritual leaders, visionaries, and nurturers. Through each other, we can enjoy abundance, artistic expression, peace, community, inspiration, and live in better balance with our Earth.
Luminaria is NOT a commercial business, nor a non-profit. We are communitarians striving to create mutually-supportive relationships and empower our community to engage in positive interchange, including barter and trade. All income goes directly toward supporting the community's offerings and the continuing availability of evolutionary services, education, and events.
