Luminous Women Programme
What is the biggest possible influence we can have when we come together and dwell in our brilliance?
Online group programme culminating in a deep dive retreat
This programme arose from a vision Maria had of bringing together a group of inspiring and inspired women for an immersion in synergy and the power of co-creation. It has been shaped by 5 brilliant women who joined Maria for her Luminous Women co-creation experiment in Spring 2024.
The women taking part in the co-creation process wanted to be part of a programme that would allow them to “recognise their light, express themselves freely, live their authentic expression, be happy just where they are, embrace their feminine side and have an impact without even trying”.
They longed to:
stop playing small, hiding or feeling invisible
live up to their potential
stop second guessing themselves and move beyond self-doubt, insecurity and inaction
be more fully themselves
to deepen their connection to their soul, others and life
to move from striving to thriving
to live with more meaning and purpose
The Luminous Women Programme is a response to these longings- a powerful and beautiful container where we will uncover a deep understanding of our true nature, our own uniqueness and of life itself.
With gratitude for their brilliance and the collective intelligence we harnessed to get to this point.
What is the biggest possible influence we can have when we come together and dwell in our brilliance?
Join Katie Finney & María Mayor to connect with what it means to be a Luminous Woman. Katie and Maria will lead a small group exploration of how connecting with our luminosity allows us to express ourselves freely and have meaningful impact. We will meet online every other week (from October to January) and our exploration will culminate in a 3 day retreat in the beautiful Costa Blanca, Spain.
During our sessions we will co-create a warm, calm space to connect with ourselves as Luminous Women: from where we can most fully step into our mastery and have effortless, aligned and positive impact in the world.
At the Deep Dive Retreat we will harness the connections we have realised to ignite collective intelligence and co-create a next step born of brilliance.

ABOUT US
For over 10 years, with their organisation Amity, Katie and Maria have been exploring our human experience and how people can be supported to create the communities and lives they dream of. They light up when pointing people in the direction of their true nature and their unique inspiration. Witnessing the meaningful action that transforms lives and communities when people align with each other via their shared nature and their individual speciality is what inspires their work.
A bit about María
María’s adult life has been mainly dominated by overthinking, second guessing herself and underlying dissatisfaction and insecurity. Guided by a feeling that there was more to life than met the eye she stumbled upon a simple, yet magical understanding, that shifted her experience of life to one with more ease, joy and wonder.
Leading from the head, striving and working hard started to loose appeal and a curiosity for what was behind people’s wellbeing and thriving communities led her to become a heart centred coach and facilitator and to co-found Amity CIC, a non profit based in the UK, supporting emerging collaborative leaders to take meaningful action in their communities.
She loves the simple joys of life like walks in nature, nourishing conversations & meals and cuddles with her wife, daughter and dog. She is passionate about gently and powerfully guiding others to bring their unique expression to life.
A bit about Katie
Katie has long been fascinated by what makes the experience of collaboration fruitful and enjoyable. Having been active in her community from a young age she often found the experience of collaborating for change to be uncomfortable, exclusionary and ineffective. Inspired to support people to create the lives and communities they dream of she co-founded Amity CIC. She brings her coaching and facilitation experience together with her grounding in the three principles understanding to support people to realise for themselves that connection and joy are our true nature, at the heart of community, and the source of positive action for change. Katie loves spending time with her family, swimming, surfing and deepening her alignment with her purpose of creating true ways of being, powered by a tender heart.

Luminous Leadership. 3rd July 17.00-18.00 UK
Sandy's vision is to make the workplace a setting for creative performance as well as the elevation of the human spirit. After graduating from Bates College and the University of New Haven Graduate School, she began her career as a mental health counselor. She founded and served as Executive Director of one the first principle-based programs in the US located in Tampa Florida.
In 2000 she had her first opportunity to take a principle-based understanding of the mind to business. This led her in a new direction and she joined Insight Principles in 2010.
Sandy shares her life with her partner Peter Remick and together they built their net zero-energy home in rural Washington. They get out into the awesome Pacific Northwest wilderness as often as they can sea kayaking, backpacking, and hiking with their dog.

Luminous Intuition. 25th July 16.00-17.00 UK
Emma McDevitt is a gifted coach, trainer and change-worker who’s passionate about helping people wake up to their unique gifts and express them more and more fully in the world.
Emma works with coaches, therapists and heart-centred human beings of all kinds to uncover their unique gifts, qualities and purpose (the things that can’t be taught in the training room).
As people make discoveries in this direction they tend to relax into a source of profound impact in their work, gain deeper trust in their own sense of guidance, develop a grounded authority that is all their own and ultimately find themselves making the difference that only they can make.
She works with young people in schools and individually, to uncover their innate resilience, wisdom and well-being. She supports people wanting to realise their purposeful contribution in the light of ecological breakdown, climate change and the other challenges we face.

In each setting, she's helped people unlock their inner superheroes, one "aha" moment at a time.
The luminous transformations that she has witnessed with her clients continue motivating her to work across cultures, whether in the quiet moments of one-on-one coaching and mentoring or the lively energy of group dynamics.
In collaboration with Marien Perez, Gabriela developed “Leadership from Within”. A program that teaches the Principles with simplicity and power to leaders, teams, and most recently college students. Additionally, she leverages her insight and experience to mentor aspiring practitioners who are eager to spread the Principles in Spanish, her mother tongue, via the International Coaching Group (ICG)
