What is Lumpa?
An independent organisation dedicated to ocean culture, transmission, and human connection through lived experiences.
Born from a deep relationship with the sea, Lumpa creates projects that bring together practice, knowledge, and storytelling, with the ocean as common ground.
Our work lives at the intersection of sport, culture, care, and community — rooted in real places and real people.

Justine Gros
Founder — Lumpa Organisation
I create frameworks and experiences where transmission happens through both storytelling and action — rooted in ocean practice and real places.
Through interviews, documentaries, and immersive weeks like this retreat, I explore how the ocean shapes bodies, cultures, and ways of life — and how we reconnect through presence in the water.
