About us
Welcome to Lumia Academy
Lumia Academy is a small, family-run educational and wellbeing company based in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, on the Arctic Circle.
We are sisters, educators and founders, united by a shared passion: helping people slow down, reconnect with themselves and cultivate sustainable wellbeing in both their personal and professional lives.
At the heart of everything we do are the values of warmth, presence and trust. We believe that meaningful learning happens not only in the classroom, but also through reflection, shared experiences, movement, nature and authentic human connection.
Over the years, we have welcomed participants from across Europe and beyond, bringing together educators, professionals and lifelong learners from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. Many participants describe our courses not only as educational experiences, but as transformative and deeply restorative weeks that continue to influence both their work and personal lives long after returning home.
