Our Food Philosophy

At Lumen, food and nutrition is an important part of our connection with ourselves and is central to our mission.

Our food offering brings balance and holistic nutrition designed to promote well-being. But let’s face it- it also must look and taste delicious!

Meal times on retreat with Lumen is a communal experience, providing an opportunity to experience the joy of sharing meals together. We offer experiences in flavour and taste with culinary inspiration which tells a deeper story of the Lumen team’s heritage, culture and values.

Our chef creates food that is a feast for the eyes and comforting to the soul. Food is love and our dishes are designed to connect you with your mind and body, where balance and wellbeing are the goals.

All dietary needs can be catered for - just let us know when you book!
