Our Meditation Secrets for Women community is a vibrant, empowering connection with a diverse group of women around the world. For the past seven years of the Course, we've had a splendid range of livelihood, geography, and experience – all decades of age, from the 20’s to the 80’s – an array of individual differences shared within the deep commonality of womanhood.
Many of the women have been on the journey for most (or all!) of the prior years, stating that each round through the 12 Secrets reveals important new depths and insights. Some have even become my authorized teachers, several of whom are helping facilitate the 2018 Course, Living in Love's Body.
Our web of connection is astonishingly nourishing, intimate, and enlivening – truly a Sanctuary of Love. Having this context to commune and communicate with women around our Planet is deeply meaningful to me personally, and a primary reason I continue to offer the Meditation Secrets for Women Course.
You can see our international community of shimmering hearts on this beautiful global map. Seeing us all here always tickles my heart. Wherever you are on Planet Earth, we welcome you to join us!

After a couple of rounds of the Course, inspired by the transformation being expressed, I invited a select number of women to participate in a two-year facilitator training and mentoring program, as a context to go deeper into our Female Energy Ecology. Now there are 14 women who are fully authorized to share this embodied wisdom in their own unique way – this is the circle of Golds. Several others have completed the first year – these are the Emeralds. Those who are or have been members of the global online course we call the Pearls. ~ Gold Teachers ~ Emerald Teachers ~ Participants ~ Click for More InfoYou can see our international community of shimmering hearts on this beautiful global map.

Julia Perch, MD
I was born in Ukraine, came to live in America 19 years ago. I am a single mom and a psychiatrist with special interest and experience in Women's and reproductive psychiatry. I have helped many women to heal from traumatic experiences such as abuse, neglect, and other adversity. I especially enjoy working with difficulties in mother-daughter relationships, along with issues of sexuality, intimacy, and sexual polarity in a couple. I discovered Camille's work some 11 years ago, and it completely revolutionized my understanding of who I am as a woman; what my needs and desires are, and how I can live my life with passion and purpose. I credit Camille and her work for awakening the erotic dimension of my being. Without the Secrets, I honestly don't know if I would ever discover what it's like to be truly, wholly in love, with my entire body and my soul.
Currently I pursue a vocation of a writer, and a storyteller. Most of what I write about was inspired, dreamt, envisioned during my years with Camille, and under her wise and loving guidance. I am available for private sessions incorporating Meditation Secrets for Women.

Yvonne (Vonnie June) Kendall
Meditation was new to me when I was introduced to MSW. That was over four years ago and today I cannot imagine my life without this meditation practice. I am proof that these secrets can work for everyone. After experiencing a life changing injury, I left the financial industry and started a small business in 2013, a food truck that makes Maryland Style Crabcakes and other family favorites. MSW provided the tools for me to overcome the daily frustration of not being able to perform like I could before the accident, and joyfully live and love this new version of myself. My current mantra is, "Flowing through each day in Love's Body, on the ride of my life!" I am currently available for private group or individual meditation sessions, to support healing and transformation for others who desire to live an authentic life, built on a foundation of love.
