December 9-11: The Radiance Sutras at Esalen in Big Sur
Come immerse yourself in love-drenched meditation and movement, in the gorgeous world of Esalen. We will explore the luminous teachings of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, an ancient text that describes 112 awareness practices for touching the sacred in the midst of daily life. The Radiance Sutras is a musical, sensuous translation of this tantra by Lorin Roche, who has lived and breathed these yogas for forty years. The Radiance Sutras evoke a world of wonder, awe, and delight. The focus of this workshop is on full-body spirituality—accepting every breath, sensual experience, and emotion as a doorway into deep and intimate contact with the energies of life. The practices include mudra (energy gestures), pranayama (breath), mantra (sound), and dhyana (meditation).
Anyone can practice these methods. The emphasis is on naturalness, spontaneity, and being at home in the universe. You meet yourself wherever you are, whether you are restless, lonely, loving, tired, excited, nostalgic, or quiet. This workshop is an opportunity to dive into the Sutras that are calling you and receive coaching from Lorin and Camille to make them your own, so that you can embody, move, and breathe this luscious reality. All levels of experience are welcome.

When we find the internal styles and practices that match our inner nature, our prakriti, meditation feels natural and we relish it. Meditation becomes an internal vacation and healing Temple that helps us balance our energies and prepare for loving action.
