Programs & Activities

Life at Lukas is built around rhythm, purpose, and connection.

Our programs are not isolated activities or scheduled events—they are woven into the daily life of the community. Whether it’s tending a garden bed, baking bread, or attending events in the greater community, every activity is an opportunity to grow, create, and contribute.
