What students are saying about the program:
The Luminous program has been one of the most, if not the most, life-changing systems of support I've received in my life. It's changed the way that I feel, it's changed the way that I interact with other people, it's changed the way that I navigate my life. It's helped me to be a better human being.
Luminous actually brings together the best across domains from attachment therapy to Tibetan Buddhism, to human energy systems and healing. And it actually is one of the few programs that has a deep synthesis of healing and awakening.
It's a community and that community is deep and nurturing, and integrated with the healing path. What I've come to realize through Luminous is we can't do this alone. We really can’t. And Luminous doesn't just tell you this; they actually create a community which collectively embodies it.
Luminous has been absolutely life-changing. I feel this incredible difference in my system from a year and a half ago when I started the program up until now. I have experienced levels of groundedness and depth that I never knew were available. I met parts of myself that I was simply at war with for years and was able to heal them on earth, in this beautiful environment that actually created sustainable long-term change versus the band-aid on bullet-wound approach of many other things that I've done in the last 15 years of being in personal development and spiritual development.
Raina and Anna-Lisa have an integrity and who they are and what they teach is palpable. You can feel it. The transmissions they bring through really land in a completely different way, they feel so real. And so the nervous system is really able to absorb those and truly change and transform on such a deep level.
With Luminous there's a real integration with everyday life, because it's not just something that you do over a winter break for 10 days sitting silently, and then learn to integrate yourself. There are eight modules spread out over two years, and that allows you to bring the practices into real life and integrate them into your work life, and be able to develop better communication skills that you can bring into your relationships. I've been able to bring Luminous teachings into work, into service in my communities, to family life, and grow as a human being.
There's a real emphasis on this view that you're perfect and you don't realize it. The teachers are coming from a place of seeing you as already perfected: they see you as already being abundant and whole. The way the healing happens is they help you to realize this for yourself. There’s a way of guiding you to the river of your own knowing and allowing the transformation that happens from there, some might call it grace.
This program has been one of the most transformational experiences I have ever encountered.
Luminous has shaped and changed how I interact with the world and the ways that I relate to myself, to others, to nature, to creation.
I feel like I have all these different parts of myself that I didn't know before, or that I didn't acknowledge or couldn't call forth. They’ve awoken and become part of my life. Through that, I feel more whole.
I feel like the ways in which I'm going to keep showing up, bring more of me, is only going to benefit my loved ones, my friends, my community, and anything else going forward.
So thank you luminous for this magical time.
Luminous Awareness Institute is by far one of the most profound personal development courses I've ever gone through. I wouldn't even call it a personal development course. It's so much more than that. Truly. It has allowed me to be in a state of well-being in my life, through my business, through my work, through my relationships. And that is absolutely priceless. I refer to Luminous Awareness Institute as a wizard school because it teaches you these incredible tools with energy, awareness and awakening, and how to use these gifts for yourself, for others and your work.
I connected to my soul purpose through this program and I've stepped into levels of power, confidence and magic in my life that I didn't even know was possible. It's been an absolutely profound experience and I highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for growth, understanding, and what they want to achieve in their life, and want to get there on a faster path. This is the program.
Luminous turned my life upside down, but in a good way. I feel like I've done a lot of solo-seeking, and I feel like through Luminous I found something that I've been seeking for for a long time. Not only did I find what I was looking for, for my self but I've also found community.
I was challenged from the very beginning. I never identified as a spiritual person, and claiming that has always been scary because I had a lot of judgments about people who were spiritual or religious. I was on the fence about whether there really was a God and now I feel like I don't have a doubt that there is.
There’s not a facet of life which the Luminous program doesn't touch, support and improve. I've been in personal development and growth for a long time [and studied] many different traditions. Some teachings go quite deep, but they don't actually reach the roots of the challenges that we face as human beings, as such dynamic experiences of being human. And this program really, truly illuminates the roots of why we behave in certain ways, what causes us to feel unwell or to not feel at ease and a sense of joy in life.
This is the only program I have experienced that has addressed the roots of why we suffer and not only address the roots, but show you the way to actually heal those things. I can't think of a better gift to life itself, than to actually embody a way of being well in the world and to relieve ourselves of suffering. This experience, this community, and these teachers bring so much understanding and so much embodied mastery of these practices that I feel I've hit upon something that is allowing me to truly live my life from a real sense of who I actually am.
What I love about the Luminous work is that there is an unfolding, like a flower blooming across the whole 2-year program. And then within each segment of the different modules, there happens to be a discovery within each of the segments of the content, through my own personal life experience.
What I've come to notice after doing two rounds now of the Luminous Awareness Institute is that there is some seamless perfection in what I'm experiencing. What's coming to my awareness during the periods of time between the modules is very, very highlighted and relevant to the content of what we're going to be discovering and working with and healing and evolving in the modules. It continues to delight me and amaze me and create powerful transformations in my life.
I came to Luminous shortly after a powerful awakening experience. I grew up Jewish, with the traditional concept of God as something “out there” outside of oneself.
I was drawn to luminous, as a community of people that are walking the path of awakening all at various different stages, but it is a group field committed to the fundamental principle that we are all God, we we're all divine beings and to be held in community in that way is just so powerful and special. Being supported in my awakening path and the realization that God is within, changed everything.
Luminous has been the most deeply transformational program I have ever participated in. I've done years of personal development. And for me, this program has been able to get deeper than I ever could have imagined. I receive responses from friends, from people who are close to me, about how much I've been able to shift, change and open in the last two years.
I really feel like I'm able to bring the gifts that my soul innately brought here, embodied [in] the world. And that's what Luminous does so well. It creates a space for each type of individual to shine, to feel like they are seen, to experience and work through any of the painful wounds that they received from childhood and be able to process those things so that they can move forward and clearly make an impact in the world. [It enables us to] connect more deeply with those we love, be in strong intimate partnerships, show up for our families, show up for our children and allow those ripples to shift things all over the world.
The profundity for me is the emptiness, the spaciousness, and the presence of more “masculine” paths being met and married with the more “feminine” fullness of being. This is not just a path of spaciousness and the emptiness of awareness, but it's also all of the riches that are arising through the body, through the emotions, through the mind, through nature. Luminous marries these together in a deep, intelligent, purposeful way.
It’s a more true approach rather than the tendency for [spiritual teachings] to be one or the other. It's a wedding or wedlock of what is actual reality.
Luminous has been instrumental in my life, in terms of my personal development, but beyond personal development it has awakened and supported the recognition of my spiritual unfoldment and growth. A lot of pieces of me that were in fractals now get to be united in a cohesive whole.
Luminous has been an incredible experience where I've gotten to touch parts of myself and parts of my essence I wasn't familiar with before. What that's allowed me to do in my day-to-day life, my business life and my personal life is bring in those parts of me that are incredibly deep ~ my wisdom qualities ~ and actually use them to create and manifest my reality.
Luminous changed my life and has enabled me to access levels of consciousness that I only ever dreamed of. The teachers are world-class. It has probably been the greatest investment of my life, and I feel privileged to have been a part of the program. I'm excited for the journey ahead.

Luminous is special to me because it's helped me recognize what is inside of me: the beauty, the perfection, the infinite possibility that exists now in me and in each of us. I operate and navigate in the world differently now. I'm able to be myself more. Able to be bigger and fill more space and not shrink. And I'm able to offer my gifts to the world.
Luminous contains ancient, often hidden teachings from Eastern lineages. Many of the esoteric teachings and the deep deeper essence of the teachings have been lost in the way Eastern philosophy is shared today. At Luminous I feel in direct contact with the deepest essence of these ancient teachings and through the practices I am directly connecting with living wisdom intelligence and the all-pervasive energetic field.
What students are saying about the program:
"The Luminous program has been one of the most, if not the most, life-changing systems of support I've received in my life. It's changed the way that I feel, it's changed the way that I interact with other people, it's changed the way that I navigate my life. It's helped me to be a better human being.
So if you're a spiritual seeker like I am, and you look around, you’ll realize there's no shortage of programs out there. There are a lot of really amazing things from Buddhist meditation to deep Tantric work, to personal positive psychology. It's really endless. And Luminous is unique and special for a few reasons.
Luminous actually brings together the best across domains from attachment therapy to Tibetan Buddhism, to human energy systems and healing. And it actually is one of the few programs that has a deep synthesis of healing and awakening. These are two things that are often separated in the spiritual marketplace, and Luminous offers a coherent integrated path.
It's a community and that community is deep and nurturing, and integrated with the healing path. What I've come to realize through Luminous is we can't do this alone. We really can’t. And Luminous doesn't just tell you this; they actually create a community which collectively embodies it.
What I've noticed in the spiritual world is there's a lot of seeking of peak experiences. These are super valuable and can help guide us. Psychedelics and ayahuasca ceremonies are good for that. And even certain kinds of meditation retreats are good for that. But the thing that I've noticed, for me and other people, that's consistently missing is integration. And you can have as many peak experiences as you want, but if that's not brought into your life with practices and community, then it just fades away. And Luminous offers both. It offers the opportunity to go really deep and to taste our real potential, the true depths of who we are. And it also offers long-term continual fabric that we're embedded in which makes that experience a part of who we are from day to day and moment to moment."
