Destiny
The Writers
Lorin Roche, Ph.D. & Camille Maurine
Guy meets girl in a car wash. The guy is 84, a Hungarian-born Jew, and he starts talking story. The girl, Camille, is a writer and she listens. One thing leads to another ...
Husband-and-wife team Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine are researching and writing Lou Lenart’s story for the book and documentary. They are also producers of the documentary.
When Lou met Camille and Lorin, he recognized that they had “the sensitivity, passion, and knowledge” to understand his experiences and his devotion to the cause of Israel. The idea for them to write the story evolved unexpectedly from their conversations.
Lorin Roche is the author of five books about the passions of the heart as revealed in meditation, and is an expert in interviewing techniques. He has a Ph.D. from the University of California at Irvine, in Social Science. In his research he adapted anthropological techniques to the study of intuition and meditation. Since 1968, he has worked with educational institutions, athletes, hospitals, the military, the homeless, and creative professionals.
Camille Maurine is the author of two books and the creator of Moving Theater, a process of re-enacting one’s life story in performance. Trained in dance, drama, and the healing arts, Camille creates one-woman shows and has directed numerous theatrical productions.
The couple teach “Wild Serenity” – meditation and movement practices for following the call of the heart. They are the authors of Meditation Secrets for Women (HarperSanFrancisco) and Meditation 24/7 (Andrews McMeel/Simon & Schuster).
. . . Camille really did meet Lou in a car wash on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, California, July 2005.
