For you: evolution

This time is for you, away from a distracting world. There is room for expanding your soul. For allowing rather than acting. Feeling free. Finding space to receive your next step.

La Lumière’s sacred space embraces you to reconnect with yourself and the essence of all life. The sanctuary invites you to find the source of all things within you and reminds you to live from your soul’s core where all answers can be found.

Come only if you are willing to make a great step into your own greatness and reconnect with your purpose. This is important: When you come to La Lumière you need to make a conscious decision to dive into an awakened space. Come without expectations, set intentions and leave with new spaces opened in your soul.

Meditate with us.
Find your self in devotion for the daily life.
Find room to live from the center of all beings.
All answers are inside.

Time-out for yourself:
Room for new inspiration.

As a Seva you will follow the ashram life like in India. As a guest you can create your own retreat. You are free to choose to ask for guidance or to follow the path of your own inner guiding light. You will take part in daily meditations and rituals and share our daily life. Silence and rooms without splendor help to feel and expand your soul in clarity.

Be a Seva

Seva is selfless devotional work.

The length of your stay as Seva will be agreed with us in advance. The minimum length of your stay is one week. Some Sevas stay for 2 to 3 months. If you wish to stay longer than 3 months, we want to learn more about you first.

During your stay you will have a home in La Lumière. For lunch we love to come together, the rest of the day you take care of food by yourself. Every day you will meditate with us.

You will work 6 hours a day, mostly in the healing garden or help us in the ashram. In the summer you will help us to harvest the figs, in the winter we harvest olives, in spring you can learn from weeds.

“Mary Magdalene and I had the task to clean the temple and I suggested to include our children and so we found ourselves on our knees on the floor of the small Essene temple, devotedly and very happily scrubbing the floor. Was it this that we missed? Mary Magdalene and I had become nomads, shaped by our life. But here on this floor, in this temple, in this moment, scrubbing the floor with the burning devotion of our hearts, we were happier than we could have ever imagined. We spent hours cleaning the temple, with our prayers and our hands, until we noticed that Jesus stood in the door, undetected, watching us. “Hey, what are you doing there?” said Mary Magdalene laughing. Jesus was just deeply immersed and smiled. It seemed that he liked what he saw. There is a love that is devoted to everday tasks, the little things that God inhabits. We didn’t even have to talk about it. This moment was as significant to Jesus as it was to us. In this moment the thoughtfulness of the small was reborn. The care, for every being and every thing. Because the holy spaces around us preserved the care.” – From Jesus book 3, not published yet

“In the sheltered surroundings of La Lumière, time stood still well beyond daily life. The fragrant scents of the herb garden, the work in the garden in the fresh air gave my soul wings. The meditations supported me in calming down and arriving fully at my self. La Lumière is like heaven on earth for me. Om Ma Bhawani Namah.”
