From Journalist to Meditation Teacher: Joh Jarvis's Journey, Part 1

How can a piece of advice unsettle a life that seems already established? In this first installment of a three-part conversation, Thom Knoles and Joh Jarvis, a fellow Vedic Meditation teacher, look back on their first meetings, Joh’s years as a journalist in Australia, and the unexpected suggestion that led her to New York City. Joh reflects on meditation, becoming a Vedic Meditation teacher, and learning to follow a path that felt more true to her.

Listen to or watch Part One of their conversation. The next episode covers Joh's work establishing The Light Inside (http://the-lightinside.org), a program that teaches Vedic Meditation inside the US prison system.
