• Your body is your instrument to experience the world. This is the only requirement to join Meditation in Motion. We believe that your body is your temple and your mind is your ally. It is never too late to love and care for both deeply, so you can have an awesome relationship with yourself. If you happen to be a somatic or movement professional, this program will guide you into new subtle ways of experiencing your body in action.

“Meditation is not making the mind quiet. It is tolerating all the noise without resistance and discovering the silent depths. Meditation is not sitting still. It is enjoying your motion on all levels, including the sub levels, where stillness and exquisite motion seem to be one and the same.” - Lorin Roche, Ph.D.
