OUR APPROACH

Our bespoke, expansive solutions help clients build systems that grow capacity and encourage connection. Using a values-driven approach, we’ll collaborate toward a more just and equitable world where everyone can thrive.
  • We consider both process and outcome as crucial factors for achieving sustainable results.
  • We address individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as the culture and systems in which they operate.
  • We take a structural, systemic, and relational approach to addressing problems, recognizing that all three areas need to be worked on simultaneously.
  • We work with clients to create spaces that are inclusive and equitable for all, prioritizing the voices and experiences of those who have been historically marginalized.
  • We challenge the status quo and support our clients in creating systemic changes that promote justice and liberation.
  • We emphasize the importance of building strong, positive relationships between team members and between staff and leadership.
  • We recognize that many organizational problems are rooted in relational issues that are exacerbated by systems that are undernourishing, taxing, and punitive.
  • We hold that people build structures and systems and that if these structures and systems are not rooted in values and safety, they will influence the organization’s overall culture.
  • We emphasize the importance of creating a sense of safety and security for individuals to engage in the work of the organization fully.
  • We recognize that psychological safety is a lived experience that is held in the body and cannot be created by policies alone.
  • We utilize somatic practices and embodiment techniques to help individuals access and engage with their own physical experience and increase awareness of their body’s responses.
  • We work with clients to create physical spaces that are supportive of well-being and wellness, including spaces for movement and rest.
  • We prioritize real, measurable outcomes over the optics of wellness.
  • We identify clients’ specific needs and strengths to create solutions that are specific and responsive.
  • We track progress and adjust strategies to achieve sustainable and transformative change.

In LA County we are witnessing an alarming number of releases in reentry. The people are not numbers. They are human beings who have served their mandated sentences and have no where to go. Skid Row DTLA has already reported [COVID-19] cases in the most marginalized community. I look to the Lumos team for ways to cope. This training is to help essential workers and peers, grassroots organizations, and anyone who is being affected by this pandemic. Thank you, Lumos. This is life-changing.

The Resilience Toolkit empowered my team to draw from many options to appropriately, quickly and easily address what they need to recover from stress. Nkem is a powerful leader, teacher and healer who has put together something vital and important. I am excited to see her work touch more people. I highly recommend the Resilience Toolkit if you're a human being.
