*Update Jan. 28, 2021: LUMA will not be offering in-person programs indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We may consider resuming in-person training in the future should public health conditions make gatherings and travel safe for all involved, including participants as well as members of the LUMA team. At this time, we cannot predict when that may be.
