"My experience of Jewel's capabilities as a mentor reveals that she
has a gift for compassionately opening spaces of safety that
provide a ground to explore beyond normal awareness and experience
the freedom and potentials of our consciousness. In
addition, to promoting access to expanded awareness, she has the
capability to venture through that expanded window of
consciousness to connect and share her perceptions, thereby,
introducing alternative versions of consciousness to the experiencer."

"Jewel Lauer has been leading the “Just Sit Meditation” gatherings are our church since May 2008. Her gentle, loving leadership has fostered the development a welcoming and embracing community of people each Monday evening at 5:15 pm. Persons representing a variety of contemplative traditions feel welcome to “just sit” together 40 minutes followed by a short time for discussion. Jewel often brings spiritual readings relevant to the contemplative journey and fosters conversation and answers questions after meditation time in an empowering and non-judgmental way. “Just Sit Meditation” has been a welcome addition to the spiritual programs of our community."

"Jewel's Just Sit Meditation gathering is an invitation to relax: your mind, your body, and your expectations about how meditation is supposed to be done.  I have meditated for nearly 35 years in several different disciplines and all of them require some technique.  So, when I first encountered the Just Sit meditation, with no method, my first reaction was to say ' What do you mean there's no method?  This is madness! How will you know if you are doing it right?'  Of course, that is the point.  As the saying goes: 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating.'  The end result is what matters, and participants always seem to receive the calm, quiet space they need."
