Imagine facing daily stresses or trauma triggers with the ability to stay calm, move through your emotions, and navigate challenges with greater ease.

Join us for a three-session introduction to The Resilience Toolkit, guided by renowned trauma expert and founder of Lumos Transforms, Nkem Ndefo. This inclusive workshop is designed for anyone looking to enhance their personal or professional lives. Learn an accessible, somatic approach to managing stress and healing from trauma, and take a meaningful step toward individual and collective freedom.

“The Resilience Toolkit is the only programme we feel as an organisation we can wholeheartedly advocate for when we are asked by peers in the field of health, medicine and or social change on trauma or resilience training. We have yet to find another programme with the deep rigour, accessibility and cohesiveness that this programme offers. Each of the trainers are deeply embedded in the work and the richness is overflowing.”
Farzana KahnExecutive Co-Director, Healing Justice London

“This is filling a needed gap in today’s world of mindfulness!”

“Before this class, if I was stressed out I would isolate myself from friends and family. Now that I have tools, it is easier to regulate/control my stress around people.”

“I very much enjoyed learning the simple yet effective body-based techniques taught in The Resilience Toolkit. Just a few motions and a few minutes to reset to a more balanced body and mind has very much helped soothe my day-to-day stresses and irritations.”
Melanie Williams,Compliance/Regulatory Associate

“At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I can honestly say that this class has literally saved my life. I'm not sure how much longer I would have been able to keep coping with the pain, anxiety, depression, and high -stress levels that I've been living with for most of my life. Now, I actually have hope. In my health, my life, and my future.”

From Survival to Stability introduces you to The Resilience Toolkit

Are you:

Feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and trauma?
Struggling to keep your head above water?
Seeking solid ground in a world of uncertainty?

You’re not alone. Many of us are carrying the weight of past traumas, current stressors, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. But there is hope.

The path from surviving to thriving.

From Survival to Stability is the second in a sequence of offerings from Lumos Transforms centered around The Resilience Toolkit, a framework for personal healing and collective transformation used by individuals and organizations worldwide.

Not sure if The Toolkit is right for you? We recommend starting with our free class, Roadmap to Trauma Healing. Roadmap to Trauma Healing is not a prerequisite for taking From Survival to Stability but will give you a baseline understanding of stress and trauma and where you are on the trauma healing path.

This intimate, experiential class explores how stress affects the body, emotions, and relationships. With The Resilience Toolkit, you will:

Identify the sources of overwhelm in your life
Find immediate relief in practical techniques that honor cultural and historical experiences
Develop a personalized set of tools for ongoing stability
Create a foundation for long-term healing and growth
Cultivate more compassion for yourself and others
Grow the capacity to actively resist and transform systems and circumstances that inflict harm and trauma on individuals and communities

The Resilience Toolkit is meant for all body types and is easily adaptable for any fitness level or mobility challenge.

“The Resilience Toolkit introduced me to techniques to help me connect more to my body. As much as I was experiencing severe anxiety, I wasn’t understanding how it was affecting my mind/body connection. Through compassion, understanding, enlightenment, and positive energy, I began to make that connection. I am now living a life with less anxiety than I had before. To me, that is a blessing.”
Brian Goldman

“The Resilience Toolkit helped me shift my paradigm from pathology to non-judgment. The acknowledgment of innate biological states and the tools offered to downregulate the nervous system are very profound. I’ve been practicing mindfulness and yoga for years and I see now that this trauma-informed piece had been missing.”
Beth Quayle,Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am so grateful that this Toolkits exists the way it does. It’s straightforward without being abrasive, and simple to learn but undeniably potent and paradigm shifting. This is something I feel all types of organizations and persons could benefit greatly from. Something I wished I learned early on. Something that I feel is paving a lasting path of healing and liberation.”
Ayla Rose

“As a physical therapist, I am acutely aware of the effects of stress on my patients’ bodies. I had been searching for new tools to help patients (and myself) mitigate stress’ harmful patterns. Mindfulness practices seem to help, but something was missing. The Resilience Toolkit workshop was exactly what I was looking for. What a novel and enlightening approach to understanding stress! You will learn how to recognize your body’s manifestations of stress and what to do about it. Moreover, you will learn behavioral change techniques to allow you to consistently incorporate the Toolkit into your daily life. I am so grateful for this powerful, important, and much-needed information.”
