Wild Serenity is a combination of delicious movement and meditative practices that allow you to tap in to the currents of love and life within you.
• Connect with your passion for life and find ways to live it more fully.
• Discover natural and pleasurable meditations that you absolutely love to do.
• Learn inner practices that lead you into deeper intimacy with yourself and with others.
• Find tools for transforming any emotion into life force and creativity.
Living and loving fully takes courage, and all the inner resources one can muster. Drawing on three decades of teaching and 23 years of relationship, Lorin and Camille share their experience with humor and compassion.
This work is based on the principle of syzygy (sizz'-uh-jee) - the dance of opposites that leads us into deeper union and freedom. Meditation and action, serenity and passionate expression, are the plus and minus poles of your life electricity. When you consciously embrace the full spectrum, you experience a dynamic flow of health and vibrancy.
Life is always pulsating in our bodies. When we allow this pulsation to enchant us and call us inward, this is meditation. When we ride those currents outward, we are led into passionate engagement with the world. Thus peace and passion are intimately interwoven.
The best preparation for meditation is to express the passion of your soul.
The best preparation for living expressively is to meditate with all the energies that are pulsing inside you.
In this approach to meditation, you learn how to let the techniques emerge from right within your core. In this way meditation becomes something you crave to do because it is a totally natural way to be with yourself.
Welcome the fullness of your nature:
Vastness and vulnerability
Sensuality and surging power
Safety and excitement
Solitude and communion
Individuality and universality
In this workshop, we will alternate sitting and moving meditations that awaken the senses, soften the heart, and stretch the muscles of the mind. Through body awareness, sound, and breath, you will gently and gradually let more life force stream through you.
The secrets to inner peace are vibrating right there inside your wildness, your cravings and yearnings. You will discover that what might seem like obstacles – raw emotions, restlessness, desire – are actually gateways into vitality, renewal, and creativity.
All levels of experience are welcome. Nothing is forced; you can go at your own pace.
If you’ve given up on meditation, or are ready to take your practice to a new level; if you want to tap into more joy and inspiration; if you long for more intimacy with yourself and others - or if you just want to come and play - then it’s time for WILD SERENITY!
