This Correspondence Course is an in-depth, personalized training in the female-centered approach to meditation and energy practices from our book:
Meditation Secrets for Women:
Discovering Your Passion, Pleasure, and Inner
Peace
by Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, Ph.D. (HarperOne, 2001)
(click HERE to

In this year-long journey, we delve into the twelve Secrets of energy ecology that every woman needs to know. Whether you are a teacher of yoga or meditation or a beginner on the path, this course is intended to give you a deeper foundation in what works for the female body and psyche, and for your individual nature and life.
These liberating Secrets bust open the stereotypes and show you how natural, vibrant, and pleasurable meditation can be:
• Tap in to your inner roots and draw strength, nourishment, and inspiration
• Experience profound release of tension
• Get vital energy from all your emotions
• Celebrate your sensuality, inner beauty, and flow
• Honor your instincts and inner authority
• Cooperate with your hormones and biorhythms
• Connect to your primordial female power
• Move and breathe in your divine essential being
"Wise, wonderful and revolutionary. It returns the whole human being to joy, restorative serenity, and embodied, psychological and spiritual expansiveness." – Sylvia Perera, Author of Descent to the Goddess.
"Women's meditation insights and needs are very different from the traditional methods used for centuries by men in monasteries. Meditation Secrets for Women teaches you how to meditate with full access to the emotions and body wisdom that are a part of the divine." – Christiane Northrup, M.D., Author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
More Praise for Meditation Secrets for Women
If you are not familiar with the book, you may wonder what type of meditation we propose. This approach does not adhere to a specific tradition, yet it is informed by many. No dogma here. Lorin and I know from our decades of teaching that women are natural meditators. Rather than impose a structure from the outside, in this course, you learn to claim and cooperate with your innate wisdom to find healthy, pleasurable, ways to meditate.
Read an excerpt from the Introduction
Each chapter covers one of the essential Secrets and is full of helpful insights, information, and anecdotes from other women. The friendly format includes:

Going Further
Reflections (great for journaling)
Your body and psyche are pulsating with wisdom and intelligence – your direct and personal communion with the infinite. Meditation Secrets for Women gives you twelve different doorways into that connection.

Meditation puts us in touch with the larger body in which we live and move and have our being:
A field of vibrating energies that gives birth to creation
A body of love that nourishes and sustains us
A network of information that inspires and in-forms us
A movement of evolution that heals and transforms us
The sanctuary of meditation allows your body, mind, and heart to commune with the forces of life and love. It is sacred time and space in which your nervous system can let go and receive the communication.
When Meditation Secrets for Women came out in early 2001, it was the #1 bestselling product under $25 on Amazon. It struck a chord of truth. I’m proud to say it’s been translated into German, Dutch, Czechoslovakian, and Japanese, and on its way to more. We receive emails from women all over the world. How I love the web of connection!
“It's like eating candy or taking a deep breath reading your wise and lively words. Like taking a walk in the woods or going swimming. (And the best thing: it inspires me to do those things, too). It feels warm and gentle and powerful and very reassuring. I feel recognized in who I am: a passionately living woman who wants to discover, share, love and enjoy and who, deep inside (or not so deep if I listen carefully) exactly knows how to do those things. How to live healthy and happy and fully.” – Ida, the Netherlands
Back then, women’s spirituality had taken root in some circles, but no one – until our book – had asked what women need in meditation. What must women know to thrive in their practice and get the greatest benefits?
Some people were shocked and even outraged. Why should women have their own approach? It just wasn’t on anybody’s map. The truth is, most meditation traditions are from male, monastic practices from the Far East and distant past. Many thanks to the monks and yogis for what they have preserved (and I have experienced and loved those forms), but let’s face it, they don’t have a clue about what works for women.
The time has come. It is up to us, Women of the 21st Century, to discover and evolve a female-savvy approach!
“My friends and I deeply cherish your book Meditation Secrets for Women. It has personally freed me and lifted great weights of expectations in meditation from my heart and soul. I frequently give copies of the book as gifts to family and best friends. It is a treasure; thank you!!!!” – Mary Jo in San Jose, California

Who should take
this course?
Mothers,
daughters, lovers, wives, business women, artists, homemakers,
professionals, therapists, yoga teachers, students, bodyworkers and
healers of all kinds, dancers, wildwomen, gentle spirits,
passionate and compassionate women awakening to their divine
essential nature...
Wherever you are on Planet Earth, this is a context to have live
interaction with the author and go deeper into the movement of your
soul.
You receive the benefit of Camille’s decades of experience,
from her first formal meditation in 1972 to developing this
approach and teaching thousands of women (and always learning).
Along the way, the practices have taken on depth with her training
in dance and body therapy, studies in Jungian psychology, and
immersion in Continuum Movement since the early 80’s. Not to
mention, for 27 years she has been cross-pollinating with Dr. Lorin
Roche, her husband and co-author, and one of the most comprehensive
and insightful meditation teachers on the Planet.
Bio.
Female meditative practices are not “one size fits
all.” No dry and rigid discipline for us. Women must have
more than one entry into meditation, so that we can meet ourselves
in a healthy way no matter what is going on in our world, in our
bodies, in our hearts. That’s why there are 12 Secrets
– luscious, love-drenched, life-giving gateways to the
Self.
It’s important to find what works for you and your individual
life, awareness practices that you love and want to do. Whether
you’re a beginner or advanced inner traveler, your practice
should evolve as you evolve – now, doesn’t that just
make sense?
I am
reading your book "Meditation Secrets for Women". I cannot say
enough about how much I appreciate it! It's a great, great book.
Your experience and your insights are simply invaluable... I only
regret I didn't come across it sooner... Your book is very
helpful...especially now as I am going through "endarkenment" -
what a clever way to put it!!! – Julia, a
psychiatrist
Initiation into
the Mysteries

the radical truth: You are an incarnation of Divine Creativity in
female form. Embrace your next level of embodiment and
expression.
Your body and psyche are pulsing
with innate wisdom and intelligence, clues to your organic
unfoldment of energy. In this course you learn how to follow that
wise movement, with Camille as fierce ally and gentle guide.

and love, enhances all your relationships, and ignites your

Finding the
flow:
Beginning our venture close to the
new moon
(December 11th) is auspicious. We are
also moving into the energy of the Solstice coming up on December
21st.
The first month lays the foundation, the why and how of this
female-savvy approach. We also begin tending Secret #1: Celebrate
Your Senses.
* Update on
Scheduling our Teleseminars: In scheduling the dates and times
of the calls, I do my utmost to accommodate your preferences. I am
delighted that our participants come from all over the world. This
is a happy challenge!
In the
questionnaire you receive when you sign up, you can list your
preferred times, in order of priority. Then I coordinate times that
work for you and all. The schedule might even vary each month,
as necessary.
Some details have not been set and
are influenced by who is involved. Based on the responses from
registered participants to date, I have come up with the following
design.
I am offering two calls
each month for you to
choose from. That's how dedicated I am (smile)!
You are also welcome
to do both.
The Meditation
Secrets for Women Correspondence Course is not a
“one-size-fits-all” program. It is an in-depth training
geared to you and the other women participants. You each receive
personalized attention according to your desire and
intention.
Details will be modified as necessary to find our flow. That's one
of our feminine gifts, don't you think?
This is a pilot program. I welcome
any suggestions that will help make this experience the most
sublime and satisfying it can possibly be!
I have no doubt that this will be
an extraordinary journey together,
and am excited about sharing it with you. Feel free to
ask me
any questions, so that
you feel comfortable joining us.
In
preparation:
1) Email
Camille of
your desire and intention.
2) Register for the Course online or by check.
3) Take a flip through the book and get a sense of its range.
4) Notice what stands out, what calls to you.
5) Read the Introduction to the book.
THEN WHAT? Once you have registered, you will receive an email from
Camille with essential information and a brief questionnaire. The
sooner you sign up, the sooner you can begin!
We offer two ways to sign up – Full Tuition Plan and
Quarterly Plan Option. You will see our company name, Syzygy
Creations, Inc.
Congratulations!
You are giving yourself a life-affirming present, one that will
benefit everyone around you as well.
