At Lumen, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment where everyone can thrive and explore their well-being and leadership potential. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is at the core of our values, guiding our practice and shaping our community. We recognise that well-being and balance are universal pursuits that transcend boundaries, and we strive to make our services accessible and meaningful to all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.

 Our Commitments

 1. Embracing Inclusivity

We celebrate the rich diversity of our participants, staff, and community. We actively seek to include people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds. We believe that diversity enriches our collective experience and enhances personal and professional growth.

 2. Creating a Welcoming Space

Lumen is a place where everyone is welcomed with open arms. We strive to create an environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and seen. Our services are designed to be accessible and supportive, ensuring that everyone can fully engage and benefit from our programmes.

 3. Ensuring Safety and Respect

We are committed to providing a safe space where individuals can express themselves freely and authentically. We enforce policies that promote respect, prevent discrimination, and address any form of harassment or bias. Our staff is trained to support and uphold these standards, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for all.

 4. Challenging Perceptions

We actively work to challenge the perception that well-being is a pursuit reserved for the privileged. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to invest in their well-being and personal development. To this end, we offer sliding scale fees to make our retreats services to those from underserved and marginalised communities.

5. Continuous Learning and Improvement

We recognise that the journey towards true inclusivity and equity is ongoing. We are committed to continuously learning, listening, and evolving. We actively seek feedback from our participants and partners and use it to improve our practices and programs. Our goal is to ensure that Lumen remains a dynamic and inclusive space for all.

We are more than just a well-being and leadership organisation; we are a community that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Together, we can create a space where everyone can shine and lead with purpose.
