Nobody taught us the skills that determine our whole life.
Nobody taught us how to be human.
Yet life expects us to know how.
Life tests these skills every day, whether you are ready or not.
Most people learn them the hard way.
You don’t have to.

CHARLENE DUNCAN
Director, University of the Western Cape
Centre for Entrepreneurship & Innovation
“What an awesome journey and words cannot explain the experience!! The opportunity that you gave our students was fantastic, it is the kind of life changing exposure and skills that is priceless. The impact is still moving across our campus, it is the “feel good stuff” that is so much needed at higher education institutions. This epitomises a decolonized curriculum.”
TINASHE NYAMURAMBA JARICHA
Brand Manager
Kotex SA
“It was an absolute joy to be a part of such a life changing program. The initial partnership between Kotex and Luminosity Lab kicked off in 2011 in the Western Cape with 1 College and 200 students. By 2017, we were reaching 100 Colleges and 30 000+ girls over the key provinces in SA — Limpopo, KZN, Gauteng, W.Cape and even across the borders to Botswana. It is life changing for anyone who has and will attend it & the life lessons given in the sessions are priceless.”
ERIC LAUBSCHER
CEO
ATEC Systems & Technologies
“You blew us away with your process and the incredible awareness that was unlocked at all levels. I believe it is rare and special when all staff from the CEO to cleaner can share a day like this & feel the intent of the company to get the employees (including management) to show up differently daily. It was refreshing to get feedback from staff asking when the next session will be as they have started their journeys and want more inputs. Thank you so much for the passion, clear mastery and WOW that you brought to our people.”
DR POPPET PILLAY
Director, DUT Centre for Social Entrepreneurship
“The Bootcamp was the first of its kind at DUT and brought students from different faculties and diverse backgrounds together. The Bootcamp took students on a journey of self-discovery and it was amazing to see the growth and development of the cohort of students over six weeks as they displayed a high level of maturity, positive attitudes and self-confidence. We at the CSERI look forward to strengthening our relationship with Luminosity Lab and to seeing our students developing into the best people they can be.”
JAY-DEE COLLINS
Workshop Alumna
“I have been part of Luminosity Lab workshops for many years. The workshops along with the methodology on life has taught me to live authentically and fearlessly. I am certain about tomorrow because I was prepared for today. This mindset was planted within me by these workshops and I am who I am today because I decided to attend my 1st one 9 years ago.”
ALLEN LE ROUX
CEO, FEDISA Fashion School — Member of Honoris United Universities
“Karen Burt and her Luminosity Lab workshops are a game-changer for 21st century society. I have watched in awe and amazement as she creates the safe spaces for our youth to make sense of the complex world around them. She truly does light the way.”
SOLOMON NYAMURIMA
Small Business Development Manager, Durban University of Technology
“Thank you very much for providing and directing such a powerful, informative, educational, and impactful sessions for our clients. Most of our SMMEs are talking about how you have also impacted their personal lives. The positive feedback I’m receiving from my team and our clients is both overwhelming and encouraging.”
DOROTHEA JOHNSON
Mother
“I have seen my child go from being an introvert to blossoming into an amazing open person. She came home full of excitement and love. She is constantly smiling and sharing her experience with everyone. I know you try to impact our daughters in a positive way, but I don’t think you realize exactly how big of an impact you really have on them. Thank you so much for making my child feel so super special. We really love and appreciate you.”
