Hello , you beautiful human, It’s Amber Jade. You may not remember me right away — but if you’re receiving this, it’s because at some point, you asked to hear from Luminaria. We’ve probably met at Luminaria Sanctuary, or at a changemaking event somewhere in the world. Most likely, you asked to stay in touch because you cared about being the change you wish to see in the world. 🌍 Why we connectedWe connected because: ✨ We both cared about building something better.
✨ We both cared about the possibility of a world where humanity could live more sustainably, more justly, and more fully in balance with each other and our planet. A future we now describe as: A Thriving World For All with Exploitation of None.And if that kind of hope still lives in you, I want to gently re-open this conversation. 🌱 What happened?When we connected back then, I really listened to who you wanted to be — and to what help you needed to build the world you wanted to live in. And in response, Luminaria spent the last 15 years evolving. 🐛> 🦋 Behind the scenes, it has been going through years of experiments, iterations, research, redesign, and development — learning how to become a foundation of support strong enough to actually facilitate the kind of change you hoped for. ⏳ Some of you have been waiting a very long time for the next stage of this project. Maybe even over a decade. And I want you to know: I have been building this for you the whole time.That’s admittedly a weird level of obsession for someone else to have about you achieving your potential. But, maybe that’s what you’ve been needing. ✨ You’re InvitedWe are evolving.
The next chapter is beginning.
And you are warmly invited to it. We are now building what we call a Transformative Human Ecosystem: a practical, beautiful, global network of people, places, and spaces designed to help people amplify their capacity to be the change — and make it easier to live, create, organize, heal, grow, and act in alignment with the world they care about. Whether your current passion is sustainable living, personal growth, conscious evolution, justice, empowered activism, climate, community, creativity, or the future of our planet, these are not separate movements. 🪡 They are threads in the same fabric of the future humanity is cooperatively weaving. The Luminaria is being built as part of the loom that helps bring those threads together. We have so much to share with you, but first, it feels important to simply reconnect. This email is not asking you to make a big decision today about your place in the community, your involvement, or your relationship with The Luminaria. This is simply me saying: You are still welcome with us.🥳 What we launched todayIf you’re curious, here’s what we did today: We launched the first public-facing piece of The Luminaria, called: The Luminaria ImagineeriumThe Imagineerium is part of The Luminaria’s nonprofit arm, and it begins with an interactive online gallery for visions of a more sustainable, just, and thriving world. A place where people can share: 🎨 dreams

🌎 possibilities for the future we actually want to live in Because we cannot build a better world together if we cannot imagine one. ⚡ A tiny action with leverage — tonight onlyRight now, there is one urgent, tiny way to help this first piece come to life. Our nonprofit fiscal sponsor has given us a short fundraising challenge for The Imagineerium. Until 11:59 PM EST tonight, every donation to The Imagineerium increases our chance of receiving an extra $1,000 grant. The amount matters less than the number of donations. So: $3 counts.
$5 counts.
Sharing counts. It is an opportunity to take a tiny action with unusual leverage. If you are able and inspired, you can help us take this first step here: |
