About the teacher

Lorin Roche

Dr. Lorin Roche holds a PhD and has researched the physiology of meditation for over fifty years. He is known for his translation and interpretation of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, published as The Radiance Sutras, which Deepak Chopra has described as evoking 'spontaneous joyful insights into the nature of reality, self, and existence.'

Roche developed Instinctive Meditation and Pranava Meditation approaches, and co-founded the Radiance Sutras School of Meditation with his wife Camille Maurine, offering 200-hour meditation teacher training certification, live classes, workshops and masterclasses.

Meditation is a naturally occurring rest state; it is resting in yourself while remaining awake and alert.
