Meet Your Teachers
Dear Friends,
We all know these are challenging times here on Earth, and we believe that you can make a difference by bringing your light to the world.
We invite you to become a certified meditation teacher in our upcoming Radiance Sutras® Teacher Training, beginning in May 2025. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced meditator, or a teacher of meditation, you will discover new and empowering keys to embodying a healthy, integrative approach to inner practices.
In our comprehensive training, we teach you how to access new doorways to meditation, so that you can discover a rich, rewarding meditation practice for yourself, and help almost anyone to develop an inspiring practice that suits their individual nature.
We integrate spirituality, somatic intelligence, psychological wholeness, and creative expression to bring the practices to life. In our training, we will share our decades of teaching inner practices to people of all walks of life, and learning from them what works and what does not.
Join us in April for this transformative experience. We look forward to being with you.
With you in love and inspiration,
Lorin Roche, PhD
Dr. Lorin Roche is a co-creator of Instinctive Meditation® and a pioneer in developing personalized meditation practices. Lorin was awarded a PhD from the University of California for his work on the inner experience of meditation. His books on meditation, including The Radiance Sutras, are treasured by meditation practitioners across the globe and have been widely recognized as a "must-read".
Lorin’s training helps students feel that meditation is an innate skill that you are remembering rather than a technique that you are learning. This work is aimed at activating an individual's internal guidance systems and bringing forth your instinctive knowing, so that you can safely practice meditation without being dependent upon gurus, systems, or external authorities.
Camille Maurine
Camille is a meditation mentor, dancer, and the author of the groundbreaking Meditation Secrets for Women and Meditation 24/7, both written with her husband, Dr. Lorin Roche. Along with Lorin, she is the co-founder of Instinctive Meditation® and the Radiance Sutras® School of Meditation.
Camille gives global trainings in women's spiritual power and embodiment, and travels worldwide to give performances, workshops, and retreats. In addition to her 4-plus decades of dance, yoga, and meditation, Camille’s integrative approach draws upon training in various healing arts, including the study of Jungian depth psychology and Continuum Movement for many years.
Camille is an intrepid traveler on the path of embodiment, venturing high and low into the world of energy and love. Her work is an intimate fusion of meditation, movement, and expression.
We invite you to step onto the path of an exuberant, life-affirming, and tailored meditation practice.
In 1968, Lorin Roche began his own meditation journey, tutored by a group of geniuses who introduced Lorin to the teachings of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, sharing 112 doorways into yoga.
Lorin spent the next 50 years perfecting practical meditation techniques that people in our modern world can use to access the profound benefits of meditation.
Deepak Chopra, as part of his interest in awakened meditators, interviewed Lorin to get some of the backstory of Lorin's initiation into the yoga of meditation:
“I was a really anxious, hard-working freshman at the University of California at Irvine,” said Dr. Roche. “At the time, UC Irvine had a rule that the students had to participate in experiments, so I signed up to be a subject in a brainwave study.
When I got into the lab, I was wired up and just left alone for 3 hours in a pitch black, silent room. I had no instruction. I had never heard of meditation. And I was a loner surfer, so I wasn’t aware of the psychedelic movement.
It was kind of fun. There was nothing to do. After about half an hour I just melted. My mind dissolved into the spaciousness. I was somehow a point of light in something very, very vast and friendly.
When I walked out of that lab, I was in a luminous state that I had never experienced or heard of, where all living things were glowing. The world was stunningly beautiful … everything looked like the most magnificent work of art.
“Lorin unfolds the underlying significance of the Vijñana Bhairava text beautifully…
…revealing layers of meaning woven into poetry to awaken contact with the Soul.
Lorin’s Radiance Sutras evoke spontaneous joyful insights into the nature of Reality, Self and Existence.”
- Deepak Chopra
“Yoga is a living tradition. Lorin is on the front lines as a meditation teacher, a champion of natural meditation, of awakening consciousness everywhere, in all places, in all times.”
~ Shiva Rea, Samudra School of Living Yoga

The Core Teachings
1. The Art and Science of Meditation
The Radiance Sutras® text offers 112 different doorways into meditation and our approach opens thousands more. Let’s find yours!
Your body loves to meditate. Meditation is a completely natural and instinctive capacity of the human body and everyone can do it.
We illuminate the research and benefits of meditation and why 20 million Americans are meditating, plus millions more around the world.
2. The Path of Intimacy
Find out how to bust old repressive rules and ideals. Tap into your innate, essential nature in freedom and joy.
3. The Subtle, Sensuous World of Meditation
Discover the power of subtle movement meditation, intrinsic mudra, and embodied energy practices.
Learn how to identify your natural doors of perception. Develop the ability to use all the senses as gateways into meditation.
Human beings have more than a dozen senses, and they are all essential aspects of a healthy approach to meditation.
4. Instinctive Wisdom - The Genius of Life
Learn how to recognize and honor your instincts.
Meditation is instinctual and natural, connecting us to the self-healing, innate impulses of life that guide us to what we need for healthy balance.
Through our instincts, we know our relationship to the earth and to the universe.
5. Worlds of Rhythm - Spontaneity and Flow
A skilled meditation teacher learns how to cooperate with the student’s inner nature, not suppress it.
An important part of teaching meditation is the ability to recognize spontaneous meditative states. Almost everyone has a wealth of naturally occurring meditative experiences that is a foundation to their further practice and a clue to their inherent nature.
Learn to structure a meditation practice so that it feels spontaneous and natural.
6. Elemental Adaptability - Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Space
Learn the skill of engaging and balancing the elemental qualities within us.
A meditation teacher needs to be intimate with the natural elements as they are revealed by each of the senses and the instincts.
7. The Energies of Emotion
Learn to dance with the full spectrum of emotions that make up a large part of everyone’s meditative experience moment-by-moment.
This is one of the biggest challenges meditators face.
For full vitality, mental and physical and spiritual health, it is essential to learn how to engage with the wild and peaceful motions of emotions. Discover the secret gifts within emotion.
8. Embracing Desire
Skill in meditation includes accepting the gift and revelation of desire and emotion, and the ability to ride that motion into essence.
The senses, instincts, and elements play through our bodies in impulses we call Desires.
9. Syzygy - Inner Marriage
Practice the high art of transforming energies into creativity and freedom.
The Dance of Opposites Leading to Inner Union. Go deeper into wholeness by joining the full dance of energy that is you - earthy and cosmic, wild and serene.
Learn how to welcome the entire mandala of energies.
10. Bringing Meditation to the World
Cultivate the new evolutionary language of meditation.

Claim your direct experience in meditation and embody your natural essence in all the circumstances of your life.
