Our Approach

Beyond Words

Sometimes there are no words for grief, or we can’t find the ones that fit.

Beyond Words

Sometimes we aren’t comfortable using words at all, or we struggle to express the depth of what we’re feeling.

At Lumara we know that play, music, art and other creative modalities can be deeply heart-opening and satisfying forms of expression. And all of us need to find a path in grief that fits our own unique way of being.

So whether it’s the silent, inner-world spaces of a mindfulness meditation group that call to your soul, the power of a drum in your hand that moves grief through your body, or the splash of brilliant coloured feeling you get to paint freely onto a page in an art therapy session, we invite you to explore the Lumara programs that will take you beyond words.
