Our Story

Committed to Teaching Meditation for Over 50 Years

Our Beginnings

The Organization's History

With over 100 years of combined experience, Lorin and Camille co-created Instinctive Meditation® to guide people in embracing their unique meditative paths​. From these teachings, The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation was born, fostering a global community of practitioners and teachers who are passionate about integrating meditation into daily life. Guided by Lorin’s lifelong exploraton of the ancient yoga texts and modern scientific literature,  and Camille’s expertise in embodiment and spiritual empowerment, our organization offers retreats, trainings, and resources that inspire joy, healing, and connection for all​.

Lorin’s beautiful book The Radiance Sutras, a poetic rendition of an ancient yogic text, offers a bridge between timeless teachings and modern life. Meditation Secrets for Women, co-authored by Camille and Lorin, offers all the tools and insights necessary for women to design their own custom meditation techniques, without all the restrictions of traditional practices.

Since 2015, The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation has seen over 1000 people complete our 200-hour Meditation Teacher Training, and over 90 teachers have completed our 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training. Our certified teachers help us to fulfill our vision of making these life-affirming practices of Instinctive Meditation® available globally.

The Inspiration

The Radiance Sutras

The Radiance Sutras is Lorin's poetic and inspiring translation of the ancient yogic text The Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. This work invites readers to taste 112 meditation practices, exploring the richness of their senses and the beauty of everyday life as doorways to deeper awareness. Lorin's interpretations are accessible and relevant for modern readers, offering ways to experience meditation as an intimate, joyful encounter with the energy of life itself. Each sutra is an exploration of our natural instincts, guiding readers to embrace their meditation as a dynamic and creative process​.

Here are some of the translations from this beautiful text:

  • ImageImageSutra 88
    Sutra 88
    Wander and wander to the point of exhaustion.
    Whirl until you lose all control.
    Dance until you are ready to drop.

    Then drop!
    Fall to the earth.

    Surrender to the swirl of sensations
    Surging through your form.
    Dissolve in awe as arising energies
    Continue the dance in your inner world.

    Beyond motion and commotion,
    Become the body of ecstasy.

  • ImageImageSutra 66
    Sutra 66
    Whenever any of the senses is impaired
    It becomes a gateway to infinity.

    Whether by deprivation, injury, or age,
    Obstruction of the senses
    Invites awareness of Soul.

    The mind can no longer take the world for granted.
    Attention spirals inward,
    And touches the glistening emptiness —
    The reality behind appearance.

  • ImageImageSutra 69
    Sutra 69
    Meditate on the Self as being
    Vast as the sky,
    A body of energy
    Extending forever in all directions —
    Above, below, all around.

    In the embrace of infinite space,
    Awaken to your true form —
    Divine creative energy
    Revealing Herself as you.
