Online Meditation Gathering
About JYO Meditation Gathering
The Journey You Own Meditation Gathering is a free, sitting meditation session designed to offer a shared, supportive space to explore grounding practices.
Sessions are held online via Zoom and take place on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and Saturday mornings.
These are low-key sessions, and you are free to join with your camera on or off. There’s no expectation to speak unless you’d like to share.
Please register once through Zoom to receive your unique joining link. After registering, you are welcome to attend any upcoming meditation gathering.
The public calendar on this page shows the most current schedule. Because dates may occasionally shift, we recommend adding the calendar to your own calendar app so you can stay updated.
We hope to see you in this community of practice.

Jyothi V. Robertson
Jyothi V. Robertson is a student of meditation practice for 40+ years and trauma-sensitive grounding practices formally for the past three years. She was raised by parents who practice meditation and lead spiritual teachings for members of their Indian community. She began pursuing her own formal exploration of spirituality as an anthropology major at Princeton University and conducted fieldwork for her thesis while living at an ashram (spiritual center) in India in 1996. As a veterinarian, she is interested in highlighting the spiritual connection between all living beings.
Jyothi has completed certifications in trauma-sensitive mindfulness, advanced trauma-sensitive meditation, deep listening, DEI, and since 2019, has been receiving training in Buddhist meditation practices and philosophy. As a student learning meditation, she is interested in exploring these practices with others in community.
