LUMINA
It means a conscious connected breathwork practitioner, a yoga teacher and a chef who treats a plate as part of the nervous system.“ I’ m not bringing in outside experts for this,” she wrote.“ I’ m bringing in the people who helped rebuild me.” The curriculum underneath the schedule is the stuff intellectual understanding alone has never fixed: why the body holds tension where it does, and why the same patterns repeat no matter how much the mind already knows. Guests leave, in her telling, with“ tools you’ ll still be using months later”. Her go-to example is one every executive will recognise – the breath you take before a conversation you’ ve been dreading. Nobody has ever needed a sound bath in a board meeting. Everybody has needed the breath before answering.
AWAKEN AND EMBODY

PROGRAMME: Functional breathwork, yoga, sound, meditation, nutrition, women’ s health education including perimenopause and menopause, sauna and cold exposure, manifestation and practical habit design.
Delivered by Jodie with a naturopath and women’ s health coach, a conscious connected breathwork practitioner, a yoga teacher and a chef. Jodie’ s own stated test for the week is that guests leave with“ tools you’ ll still be using months later”.

Every person supporting this retreat is someone I’ ve personally worked with on my own journey

The evening flight Her real insight, the one that gives the business its audience, is that most successful people don’ t want a different career or a slower life – they want the one they already have without paying for it with their bodies. Lumina’ s language is warm, feminine and restorative, and underneath it sits a base of nervous system education, functional practice and a working knowledge of exactly what a Sundaynight inbox does to a body. Ibiza has spent 50 years teaching the world how to lose a week, and Jodie is betting the more valuable trade now runs the other way. The real measure of the October retreat won’ t be taken in October, or anywhere near the Mediterranean – it will be taken in some airless meeting room next March, when a hard question lands across the table and a woman who once ran her whole life on 4 % takes one slow breath before she answers. businesschief. com 101
