We run for 6 weeks every summer, starting early July and continuing through mid-August.
Every Sunday, we release a new chapter of content, each containing five bite-sized workshop capers with video, audio, or guidebook material to peruse at your own pace.
While we host optional drop-in hangouts every week, most of our discussions take place in an asynchronous chat group and the member portal.
Upcoming Summer Luminator Dates: > 2026: July 7 – August 14 > 2027: July 6 – August 13 > 2028: July 9 – August 18 > 2029: July 8 – August 17 …and so on
Our 6-week collective is designed to come along with you!
You can access the Summer Member Portal from your mobile device anywhere you can get stable internet connection – including all video, audio, and downloadable resources.
Our chat group uses the free Marco Polo app, so you can stay connected with us even when reception is spotty.
The only ‘time sensitive’ materials are our six weekly live hangouts, which are optional drop-in events that about half of our members choose to join.
Other than a connecting real-time conversation, we don’t cover anything in these hangouts that we don’t discuss in the chat group and in the member portal.
The only ‘live’ events are our casual weekly hangouts on Zoom, which are totally optional, and drop-in as needed.
The real connection comes over our asynchronous chat group, which you can dip into for a few minutes at a time while going on a walk, cooking dinner, or dropping the kiddo off at camp.
Each of the six weeks, we release a new discussion chapter with bite-sized lessons and resources to help you pace yourself. After they’re released, you can access any of these resources at your own pace any time of year.
We gather together because we can’t keep up with the demands on busy parents – and that’s not gonna change until we create strategies to catch up.
With lifetime access to our resources, invitations to future summer collectives, optional drop-in hangouts, and our asynchronous chat group, there is just no way to fall behind.
If life really throws you for a loop – you’ll have lifetime access to the resources and summer portal if you need to take a break. Feel free to come back and join us next summer at no additional cost.
You’ll have online access to the summer portal all year, for as long as it exists – that means access to the videos, downloads, guidebooks, and resource library so you can enjoy them at your own pace.
Our live Zoom hangouts are completely optional – designed to help members who feel more comfortable getting real-time feedback from others.
These live hangouts are a blast – but most of our conversations happen in the discussion threads or the asynchronous chat-group. Even if you have questions or ideas to share at 2am on Saturday mornings, we’re here for your weird schedule.
