"WILD SERENITY"
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health
Lenox, Massachusetts, July 30-August 4, 2006
A 5-Day Meditation and Movement Retreat
with Dr. Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine
The best kind of play, holy play that leaves you energized,
knowing more, and feeling whole. - GL, a (previously exhausted) surgeon
Join authors Camille Maurine and Dr. Lorin Roche for this delicious, radically liberating immersion in meditation and movement. Wild Serenity is fun, exciting, deeply restful and rejuvenating.
Wild Serenity is an artful combination of natural 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 powerful 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 creative expression. Thus peace and passion are intimately interwoven, and the more attuned you are to the pulse of life, the more serenity and wildness you experience.
"Wild Serenity opened my heart to the warmth of surrender. This magical pair guide this deep process where we find our own heart's rhythm. They are deft and honest, perceptive and fun. I felt the journey of meditation in its everyday form, bridging the gap between the finite to the infinite - what a gift to take away!" - Cathy Owen, Actor-Director-Writer, London
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. Meditation becomes something you crave to do because it is a totally natural way to be with yourself.
"I remember this unique workshop with deep gratitude since it helped me really understand the flow of meditation and the joy of letting go with ease and profundity." - Monica Péloquin, journalist, therapist, guide, Montréal, Canada
Welcome the fullness of your nature:
Vastness and vulnerability
Sensuality and surging power
Safety and excitement
Solitude and communion
Individuality and universality
The secrets to inner peace vibrate 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.
In this 5-day 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 play of opposites, learning to give emotions their full due, meditating by moving my body, wonderful leaders and interesting partners in this incredible experience....Don't miss it!" - Suzanna S., Horsewoman, San Diego, CA
All levels of experience are welcome. 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, then perhaps it’s time for Wild Serenity.

"My life has not been the same since embarking on that powerful week with these most beautiful and generous of beings! I was supported, I dared, I explored, I discovered, I was surprised by the beauty of Aliveness, I allowed healing in deeper than ever into my being, my life...I felt loved and felt myself loving...I changed, transformed, and in the end, sprouted wings! I made direct contact with my freedom in a way I never thought possible and felt held through it all. In their wisdom and loving, sacred safety was created and within its colourful parameters, I danced into my new being...in their loving and wisdom, a sacred safety was nurtured deep within my own self, so that I carry that time with me, always...carry with me, the lessons learned, the connections created, including the one I dared to create with my own Self. their work is magnificent...I love them both deeply, am ever grateful and, again, recommend this intricate and simple, daring and delicious, journey of Wild Serenity with a heart that beats ever fuller and deeper because of it. " - m. t. yáñez, New York, with love and blessings to all who read this...
