Meditate. Integrate. Heal.
One on One Meditation with Jos
So, you’ve been meditating. You’ve tried all the apps, moved onto group classes, and now, you’re ready for more. You hear the cries of injustice, are pulled toward anti-racist work and feel called to deepen your practice on and off the cushion. You’ve seen enough to know that by being a perfectly flawed human, you have trauma-healing work to do. Welcome. We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time you meet Joslyn, an anti-racist, trauma-informed Meditation Teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition.
Plant Medicine Integration
So, you’ve been working with sacred plants. You’ve lived the mind altering and expansive experiences they offer. You are ready to ground and root these in the body by working with them in your Insight meditation practice.
Yearning to deepen and strengthen the insights, wisdom, and gifts offered by sacred plants? One on One work with Jos coupled with your personal meditation practice allows one to integrate these experiences. Jos will use her personal experience working with sacred plant medicine and secluded meditation retreat practice to guide you toward embodied integration of your own experience with plant medicine. Take the first step toward integration by scheduling your free 30-minute consult.
Trauma Healing
So, you’re a human being living an embodied life. You’ve lived long enough that you know: stuff happens. You understand that there is no way to be alive and avoid pain and emotional injury. Trauma is a spectrum, from large, single incident catastrophes to chronic, low level misattunement in your families. Painful memories, stuff you thought you dealt with a long time ago, have resurfaced, asking for a closer look. You see relational patterns repeating themselves, and want to use them as the gift that they are: an opportunity to heal.
The teachings of Buddhism take at its root that suffering is a part of the human experience, and that working with it can be a portal to freedom. Ready to do the work to lay down new pathways? Not continually rekindle old trauma? Take concrete steps toward a life of peace and freedom? Jos is here to serve you. Make the first movement toward healing by scheduling your free 30-minute consult.

Jos credits Donald Rothberg, Trudy Goodman, Spring Washam and Arinna Weisman as her sources of inspiration and motivation for sharing the practices of loving awareness with communities suffering from intergenerational trauma and systemic violence.
What People Are Saying

She brings a wide perspective to her teaching and work with people, with grounding in depth psychology, somatic psychology, and work as a therapist; in sensitivity to and awareness of the dynamics of injustice; in academic studies of multiple world religions; and in Buddhist studies. She brings into all that she does a deep passion for learning and looking deeply.”

“Joslyn brings a refreshing and purposeful awareness of place and presence to role as a mindfulness teacher and facilitator. Together, we have co-led training sessions and listening circles in refugee contexts and workshops on how to be an active anti-racist in today’s world. Joslyn’s work is always grounded in the attunement and connection that begins with truly seeing and accompanying those in front of you. She applies a social justice lens to traditional insight meditation practices to her own personal growth and to the support she extends to individuals and communities. Through our co-facilitation, Joslyn has helped me to be courageous on my journey to address trauma and understand how it is in direct relationship with my global work.”

Executive Director, iACT
“Joslyn guides her meditation students in the true tradition of Mindfulness Meditation. Where my experience tells me she excels is in her ability to create an embracing sense of safety in the personal meditation experience as well as in the communal meditation space. I am also appreciating the gentle and playful humor with which she teaches; this is a quality beyond the usual earnestness that enables me to find forgiveness in my imperfect practice. That’s a very supportive tool. Being her student is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.”

“I’ve taught with Joslyn in the Darfuri Refugee Camp Goz Amer in Eastern Chad and at InsightLA in Santa Monica. Whether working with traumatized refugees in extremely challenging situations or facing 100 more privileged people in our lovely center in Southern California, Joslyn is equally poised, effective, and at ease in the teaching seat. Her approach to teaching mindfulness and meditation is current, connected, knowledgeable, and profound. ”
— Trudy Goodman,
Founding Teacher, InsightLA
“Joslyn is an inspiring and uplifting mindful meditation instructor. My husband, who has cancer, and I have been attending a weekly class led by Joslyn for almost six months and we both feel Joslyn’s gentle guidance has brought us feelings of peace and ease and has helped us accept and address the difficulties of daily issues created by cancer. I truly feel calmer and happier after every class.”
