The LUMI Method

At the heart of LUMI lies a dual meaning: an ethos of lightheartedness and clarity, and a method designed to guide your personal evolution.

LUMI takes inspiration from "lumière", the French word for light.

This embodies the guiding principle of our retreats: illuminating the path towards your most authentic self.

Just as light helps us see with greater clarity, LUMI shines a light on the aspects of your life that deserve more attention, inviting growth, joy, and reflection.

LUMI is an intentionally crafted and proven approach that serves as the foundation of each retreat.

LUMI stands for: Listen, Unwind, Move, and Integrate

    Listen

    This reprieve from expectations will allow you openly reflect and explore your inner self with clarity. You’ll gain a sense of what energizes you, what drains you, and potential obstacles.

    This element focuses on going inward and reconnecting with your core self of sense.

    Unwind

    Rest, relax, play, create, be immersed in and inspired by your new surroundings and community. LUMI takes care of you so you can take care of you.

    This element focuses on quieting your nervous system and creating space for a strong foundation.

    Move

    This element focuses on enabling sustainable evolution.

Testimonials

  • "Jillian organized an amazing four night stay for me and 14 of my girlfriends in Mykonos, Greece this summer. Her attention to detail when it came to planning the trip and the itinerary was impeccable; planning a trip for such a large group is no easy feat, especially abroad, and Jill made it look easy. The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I never had to worry about anything because Jill had it all under control, down to making sure 15 people had enough water at all times in a place where we could not drink from the tap. I will never forget it!"

    Isabella Broggini, USA

  • "A friend & I needed to disconnect from the corporate grind - we were looking for a private, digital detox in a peaceful corner of the world where no email could find us. The LUMI team created the serenity we needed, in a remote, seafront villa complete with 270 degree views, a sprawling green lawn, and private beach. The experience slowed us to the calm pace we needed to truly reset, from journaling by a wood burning fire, gentle movement, beach walks, facial treatments, and thoughtful, healthy meals. Peace achieved, and I can't wait until the next one."

    Elise Allan, Spain

  • "Jess is light; she radiates positivity. Spending time with Jess is a gift that nourishes my soul and reminds me why I am a female force in this world. "

    Gwenn Lazar, USA

  • "Where most fitness instructors make you feel stressed when they’re challenging you, with Jill you’ll feel safely and gently pushed with warmth and humor. Everyone feels comfortable and confident in Jill’s classes—and you’ll end up stronger and fitter as a result."

    Abigail Lantz, USA

  • "A friend recommended I get a facial & cranial massage with Jess. I didn’t think this experience would be the best I’ve had since a 5-star spa in Marrakech. Jess takes her time, and with professionalism & extreme gentleness, she immerses you in a sense of well-being where nothing exists but you and your body. The products are of the highest quality, and the benefits of the treatment stay with you throughout the week. I can’t wait for another session, wherever Jess will be. Thank you again for this incomparable moment of care."

    Miren Duprat, USA
