Your light. Your Art

The Heart of Lumina

 

At the heart of Lumina is a longing: for every woman to feel the joy of being fully alive.

Lumina is for women who feel their lives could hold more colour, creativity and moments that make them feel truly alive. A place to follow your curiosity and discover what truly lights you up, the spark in your eyes, the glow of your skin and the magnetic presence of a woman who feels fully alive.

Lumina’s first program is the Seven Layers of Light, a beautifully filmed online creative program you experience from home. Guided by seven women, each bringing her own expertise, it invites you into seven different ways of feeling, creating and enjoying being in your body.

Along the way, you create your own deeply personal artwork: the LUMINA Body & Mind Map.

 

 

DISCOVER SEVEN LAYERS OF LIGHT

Seven Layers of Light

Seven Layers of Light is a beautifully filmed online program that you can experience from your own home.

Through seven themes, you explore different ways of feeling alive: through dance, poetry, sensuality, sound, the world of herbs and flowers, the art of feeling, and a guided journey of reflection, integration and celebration.

In every part, a different expert shares her knowledge and guides you through embodiment practices. As you move through the program, everything you feel and discover becomes part of your LUMINA Body Mind Map, a deeply personal artwork you create layer by layer.

No artistic experience is needed. We guide you through every creative step. 

Together, these seven layers invite you to learn, feel, express and create - and reconnect with the joy of feeling fully alive. 

 

Explore each of the Seven Layers

LUMINA Body Mind Map

Created by you

The LUMINA Body Mind Map is a deeply personal artwork you create as you move through the Seven Layers of Light. No two are ever the same.

In each layer, you express what you felt and experienced on a canvas with the outline of a woman’s body already drawn for you, using watercolour, gold, silk thread, pressed flowers, vintage papers, stardust and so much more.

As your canvas comes to life, it becomes an extraordinary, deeply personal artwork that reflects your body, your journey, your creativity and your light. It is yours to hang in your home, share with family and friends, fall in love with and return to again and again.

As part of Seven Layers of Light, you receive the LUMINA Collection Box, delivered to your home. Inside, you’ll find the canvas, a wooden hanging frame and all the art materials you need to create your Body Mind Map.

Daphne's Story


What happens when the light that made you feel fully alive, suddenly disappears from your own life?

I have always been fascinated by light.

Not the kind we switch on.

The light we recognize in someone’s eyes.
That sparkle. That glow.
The way a woman can walk into a room and somehow light up the space.

That unmistakable feeling of being fully alive.

For as long as I can remember, I had felt deeply connected to that light within me.

Until something happened.

I got into a serious car accident.

For months, my world became very small.

My light had quite literally been dimmed.

And one question kept returning:
How do I feel alive again?
How do I find my light again?

That question became a journey.

Along the way, I was deeply inspired and taught by women carrying so much wisdom, each one helping to reignite a different part of my own light. And some of them are now part of the Seven Layers of Light!

Slowly, I began to see that there wasn’t just one way back to our light. There were layers.

From that place, the Seven Layers of Light were born.

I began to understand that feeling was only the beginning.

When I gave those feelings somewhere to go, when I moved them, expressed them, painted them, wrote them, created with them, something changed.

Feeling became expression.
Expression became art.
And together, they became one of the most beautiful ways I knew to feel fully alive.

And that’s how the dream of Lumina began.

A place where women can discover what lights them up, feel it fully, and then create from it.

Because I believe there is incredible power in joy.

In a woman feeling radiant in her own skin.
In the sparkle returning to her eyes.
In creating simply because it feels good to create.

I believe the world becomes a little brighter every time a woman feels more alive.

And I have experienced how magnetic that aliveness can be. How it ripples into the way you move.

The way you love.
The way you connect.
The way you create.
The way you show up in your work and in your life.

Without even realizing it,
you begin to light up the space around you.

And now that the first women are experiencing the Seven Layers of Light, I receive the most beautiful messages and letters about what is opening, shifting and coming alive within them. Seeing the Body & Mind Maps they are creating, and witnessing what I once dreamed of for Lumina truly come to life,

Feels like my biggest wish coming true, and it is even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined...

I feel so honored that you’re here.

I can’t wait for you to experience Lumina and her Seven Layers of Light.

With light,

Daphne van Driel
Founder of Lumina
