We are delighted to bring you our first ever online Summit with an amazing group of presenters! Lorin Roche 'Spontaneity and Playfulness in Meditation - meditation is part of our survival instincts' Lorin Roche began meditating in a physiology lab at the University of California at Irvine in 1968, and immediately fell in love with the practice and its benefits to body and perception. He soon became involved in training subjects for the research which included interviewing meditators who seemed to be thriving both in their meditation practice and in their daily life. For the last 50 years Lorin has been teaching a body-based approach to meditation, infused with insights from Tai Chi, Gestalt, Jungian thought, Joseph Campbell, Aikido, and Ida Rolf. Lorin feels that all these disciplines contain insights that are vital to developing a healthy meditation practice for people in Western Bodies. Roche is the author of Meditation Made Easy (Harper 1998) and The Radiance Sutras: 112 Gateways to the Yoga of Wonder and Delight (Sounds True 2014). Lorin and his partner Camille Maurine are the authors of Meditation Secrets for Women: Discovering Your Passion, Pleasure, and Inner Peace (Harper 2001).
