What People are Saying about Working with Camille
"WILD SERENITY: Far, far far, far, far beyond my wildest expectations - joyfully transformative - an experience of permission unlike any I knew to be possible for me. Mind-blowing, heart-blowing, soul-blowing! I've attended many transformational workshops, but have never enjoyed one as much as this. I have rediscovered a playfulness - a gleefulness - that was well-hidden. I loved doing things I generally try to avoid: namely, moving and feeling...
"I love watching you/being with you, Lorin and Camille. Your range is extraordinary, as are your depth, presence, grounding, generosity, and grace. I want to also voice my gratitude for your quick-as-lightning humor. (Imagine! having Permission to laugh as much as we did in a meditation course!)" - Ann Cheng, Life Coach, Washington
"WILD SERENITY is a fantastic workshop! Camille and Lorin are masters in their field, outstanding teachers, and caring human beings. They create a magical, fun environment where the wounded can heal, the healed can thrive, and we all develop the skills for continued, joyous lives. This not just for New Age types, but for anybody who needs more peace, happiness, and love in their lives." - Jim McCarthy, Stanford MBA, Internet Veteran, Cupertino, California
The WILD SERENITY workshop was indescribably helpful for me! I awoke this morning with an even greater realization of feeling more space inside me to fill up with joy, beauty and all the things I love. I was so due for an extended time to be so intimate with myself. How sublime! I feel aligned and am so pleased about that. Thank you, thank you! You are both brilliant incredible people. You have shown me once again that I can be inspired, after a very challenging year. I feel blessed.....so blessed to have made it to your workshop. - Lori Y., Ithaca, NY
"I have taken many workshops [at Esalen]. "Moving Theater of the Soul" was THE BEST! Took me to my edge, and helped me move, hop, dance to the other side. Camille is a master at keeping the pulse of the group together and supportive. We laughed and cried, were touched deeply and lovingly. She is a passionate, creative MASTER!" - Workshop Participant, Moving 'Theater of the Soul

Moving Theater is enlightening, tender, safe and a whole lot of fun. I highly recommend this work to everyone." - Lori Lynn Long, Writer, Artist
"There are many skills that I have learned (and am still learning) to practice from my experience with Moving Theater: listening (both to my own soul and to the souls of those around me), feeling, voicing, being curious and taking risks. But I think the most important thing I have learned to practice is the practice of compassion and of seeing the multi-faceted jewel in everyone and everything at every moment." - Steve Chu, Los Angeles
"The journey with Camille is like climbing Everest while soaking in a hot spring. Camille's patience and skill at holding an authentic container steadied me during some long strides. The Buddha's last words were "Be a light unto yourself", a promise he held out to everyone. As the dream of Moving Theater has unfolded, a deeper relaxation is arriving, allowing the natural light to come through more freely. Thank Camille for this world of possibility." - Doug Farren, musician, artist, builder

"Camille's work has opened up vast worlds of feeling, intimacy and power I didn't know I could access. The commitment she makes to living her work is a true inspiration; in that sense, she is the consummate teacher. Her willingness to plumb the depths of being, with heart and compassion, is a gift that keeps on opening." - Richard Piscuskas, Artist
"Camille Maurine is pure, unadulterated magic in motion.

Moving Theater is a step into a new realm: it's a trip!" - Sand Brim, Gallery Owner and Activist
"Last week was a major breakthrough for me. Thank you for enabling me to release the Life Sentence I have been living since I was a child. I feel reborn. You are an inspiration and a goddess of the highest order." - Judy F.
"Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine offer such a refreshing approach to meditation! With creativity and clarity, they inspire a tremendous sense of joy and discovery and provide realistic ways to make mindfulness a regular part of your day." - Maya Talisman Frost, "the Mind Masseuse", www.Real-WorldMindfulness.com
"Camille and Lorin help us to understand that meditation is a natural state. It doesn't have to be forced and rigid, we can just allow the breath and natural energy of the body to move freely within. We can make use of the guided meditations to learn how to be with ourselves more intimately. Instead of detaching, we stay with ourselves and move inside to see how to be compassionate from within." - T.R., Yoga Teacher, Lincoln, NE
"Writing to let you know I REALLY enjoyed the [Meditation Secrets for Women] teleclass. Your ideas are such a welcome fresh flow of energy into what for me has been a rigid, disciplinary form. Over the past several years I have turned to ecstatic dance as my expression, and you've brought the same principles to meditation for me. Hurray! So many of your ideas have me murmuring thank you because I knew underneath why dance made me feel much better than meditation, but now its OK to bring that expression and energizing pleasure into meditation too! Thank you again for all of your innovative work." - S. A., Calgary, Canada
"First, I must say that my public reason for taking the Meditation Secrets for Women teleclass, to learn tools to reinvigorate my meditation practice, was certainly met by your great teaching. Actually, the class helped me change my life! So thanks, more than I know how to say, for being you in the moments I got to share with you." - Anneliese Truame, Administrative Coordinator, Cornell University
"Camille's use of language is so rich and evocative - I was soothed just listening to her. The permission to be with our anger as well as the going down into grief or sadness was invaluable. I really needed that validation, especially regarding my anger, at this time in my life. It was so freeing to not make nice and to bring forward my fierceness and wildness. Camille is not afraid of women's emotions." - Laurie Helgoe, Ph.D., Author
"Knowing Camille has allowed me to become comfortable with myself. Knowing that there are other women out there that are Yoginis and live in the world with full happy lives has done more for me than I can explain. The work Camille does has taught me how to allow my feelings to be OK so they do not cause chaos in my life. Her work has also helped me create a balance between meditation and my everyday life so that they can compliment each other. Her wild sense of humor never hurts! The work I have done with Camille has truly been a gift for me." - Michelle, Business Owner, Mother of 4
"In Moving Theater, Camille Maurine facilitates a safe, trusting and rich environment that allows the individual to pay attention, to themselves (body and spirit), to each other, to the earth; and express those observations in creative and artistic ways. It is theatre, it is story telling, it is catharsis, and it is play, all rolled up in one and given as a gift to each participant by a loving and challenging Camille." - Samantha Persoff, LCSW
"In her Moving Theater of the Soul class, Camille sustained a nurturing atmosphere in which the unique ability of every student was supported by her and by the other students. The structure of the class as an organic unfolding from the language of the body to the spoken word and from the hidden to the revealed gave us the courage to encounter and to express the personal and the universal aspects of ourselves. The lasting effects of participating in this class are powerful." - Miriam Greenberg, Artist
"I am constantly amazed at the new possibilities for deep connection both with myself and with other people that open up for me in Camille's classes. Plus it is fun to be more expressive!" - Caroline Barry, Computer Programmer
"UNINHIBITED EXPRESSION is Camille! ...and THAT is what I stepped into in her class!" - Rob, Big Bear, California
