Advanced Instinctive Meditation Teachings

A comprehensive understanding of Instinctive Meditation is at the core of developing your confidence as a meditation teacher and ally. In the previous training, we became familiar with the basic principles of this path. Now we dive into the depths in our monthly live classes, thoroughly exploring the personal experience and real-world application of these themes in daily life.

Tending the fertile ground of your personal experience and understanding will support the blossoming of your own teaching style, your ability to craft vibrant meditations for your clients, and to develop classes and workshops to offer to the larger community.

In-Depth Study With a Small Cohort

We are limiting enrollment to a maximum of 60 advanced students (completion of a previous 200-hour training is a prerequisite for enrollment) in order to allow for deeper, more intimate exchanges and personalized feedback. This will create plenty of time and space with Lorin and Camille, as well the other teachers on staff, to be with your questions, insights, challenges, and revelations.

Core Curriculum

Get ready to dive more deeply into the essential themes of this life-affirming approach to meditation!

In the initial training we introduced these foundational principles and now we will immerse more thoroughly in them, with a month of classes, meditations, explorations, and discussions offered on each one. This extended time will allow you to:

  • Enrich your direct, personal experience of these themes

  • Understand more deeply how to apply them to your daily life

  • Gain a more nuanced understanding of how to weave them into your teaching

 
 

1. The Path of Intimacy

Living in Love’s Body

The Path of Intimacy is a path of love – intimacy with oneself, with life, with the cosmos. It is the practice of tending to our inner and outer worlds with curiosity, courage, and compassion. In this module we go deeper into our own Body of Love, and hone the skill of helping students develop their own capacity for loving awareness. What is it to be truly intimate with oneself?

 

2. The Doors of Perception

The Subtle Sensuous World of Meditation

Spend four weeks immersed in lusciousness with the Indriya Mandala. The doors of perception open us to the world of awe, wonder, and beauty. As we expand our sensory awareness we open to new subtleties and realms of experience that enrich our quality of life. As teachers, ongoing exploration of our own sensuality informs how we invite students into this ever-unfolding source of joy and inspiration.

 

3. Instinctive Wisdom

The Innate Genius of Life

The instincts are a mandala of the wise motions of life—the self-healing, self-evolving impulses that guide us into healthy balance. During meditation, pranashakti fluctuates between a wide range of instinctive modes as needed, every few seconds or minutes. A skillful meditation teacher embraces all the instincts as they arise in meditation, offering their wisdom. How do we help our students develop the art of recognizing, welcoming, and embracing their own instinctive wisdom?

 

4. Claim Your Inner Authority

Sovereignty and Authentic Empowerment

We continue our exploration of what it means to fully inhabit ourselves and our personal sphere of energy. We further develop the capacity to make choices in alignment with our own essential nature. As we do so for ourselves in this module, we learn how to demonstrate this quality and support our students to embody their own sovereignty and inner knowing.

 

5. Elemental Adaptability

Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Space

Let's explore the Tattva Mandala more deeply. Intimacy with the elements evolves our primordial relationship to the larger field of life, the glorious world of Nature. In this module, we deepen the connection to our own elemental nature through a variety of embodied explorations. We go further into helping students come home to the natural world and discover the self-balancing, elemental quality of their needs and longings.

 

6. World of Rhythm

Spontaneity and Flow in Meditation

Multiple worlds of rhythm pulsate continually, in our bodies and in the natural and social worlds we inhabit. These rhythms show up spontaneously when meditating. A skilled meditation teacher learns how to recognize and cooperate with the student’s inner rhythms. Through the practice of embracing the dance of our own energy rhythms, we discover new ways to help students to cooperate with the biorhythmic wisdom within them.

 

7. Embracing Desire

The Fire of the Heart

As we return to the Kama Mandala, the mosaic of energy-impulses continually streaming through the body, our personal exploration through rich embodiment practices continues to deepen. Skill in meditation includes accepting the gift and revelation of desire and emotion, and the ability to ride the motion into Essence. Embracing intensity is a great art; we are always learning. Our own experience is the ground for helping students to develop artful awareness through these practices.

 

8. The Energies of Emotion

Dancing With the Full Spectrum

For full vitality, for our mental, physical, and spiritual health, it is essential to learn how to engage with the wild and peaceful motions of emotions. This is the Emotion Mandala. At the crossroad between the physical and energy bodies, we experience a wide range of feelings and impulses seeking bodily expression. Each holds a precious gift. Develop your ability to help your students unfold this emotional intelligence through a range of embodied practices and artful expression.

 

9. Syzygy

The Inner Marriage

We continue the high art of riding our full spectrum of energies into creativity, freedom, and love. Syzygy is the dance of opposites—of desires, inner parts, and archetypes. When we embrace opposites with awareness, we find deeper union—we are both earthy and cosmic, wild and serene. In this module we explore practices that give you the felt sense of this inner marriage. Your own experience of this process empowers you to support others in their longing for wholeness.

 

10. Creativity

Bringing Meditation to the World

Evolve your personal gift of teaching meditation. What is it to live in Love’s Body in the world? Teaching is a creative art, always unfolding. Honing the microskills and principles we have studied, honoring your own unique nature, you will continue to develop your own teaching style. The essential gift of Instinctive Meditation® is providing oneself and one another with resources for meeting the challenges of living in a chaotic world. As a steward of this approach and supporting your students to live and love fully, you are contributing to the health and wellbeing of our global body of humanity.

 Appreciation From Previous Graduates

A majority of the students who take this training are now using the skills and insight they gained to serve their communities - either professionally or just for the love of it. We are proud to have been able to nurture these beautiful souls and support their compassionate work in the world.

“To say that studying with Lorin and Camille for my 500-hour Advanced Certification has been life-changing is underestimating the impact this training has had on how I live my life, and perceive the world. Diving deep into Instinctive Meditation under their wise tutelage helps me everyday to assess what is in or out of balance, to love and befriend myself in a very compassionate way, and tolerate feelings that once felt intolerable. They have given me the skills to find awe in what appears to be ordinary, and the quality of training to confidently share these skills with a diverse cross-section of humanity. With groups, I have worked in a school system with elementary age students as an artist in residence, taught meditation at an assisted living facility with a senior community, and have worked with creative people, including writers and ceramic artists, to identify their natural meditative skills as part of their artistic process. As a private meditation teacher, I have been able to use what I've learned with Lorin and Camille to work with students of all ages and professions. Some of these have included therapists, artists, lawyers, nurses, yoga teachers, and a psychologist, not to mention friends navigating through life transitions and threatening medical conditions. Everyone needs someone with these skill sets to hear, validate, and kindly help guide them through life experiences. Everyday, when I count my blessings, working with Lorin and Camille are always at the top of my list.”

“I started studying with Lorin and Camille because I wanted to cultivate more joy, more pleasure, more freedom in my own life. I have been richly rewarded in my experience with them. I truly feel this program is life-changing in that it encourages you to discover what you want and need from your own practice. As a yoga therapist, Instinctive Meditation enhances my work with clients seamlessly, since it shows me how to customize the myriad meditation techniques available and help individuals create a meditation program that suits their lifestyle, and their own personality. People immediately relate to this approach and find it easier to cultivate a meditation practice. Wouldn't the world be better if everyone knew how to meditate? This program will help you establish and deepen your own practice and gain the confidence and skills to share it with others.”
