​Inside Meditation Museum’s Free Classes in Tysons

 Ashley Hopko  October 23, 2019
(Updated 10/26/19) Just a short walk from the Greensboro Metro Station, a meditation center in the heart of Tysons offers free classes for visitors.

The Tysons spot is the second location for Meditation Museum II in the D.C. area — the other is in Silver Spring, Md. Sister Jenna, the founder of the center, said she chose Tysons because it is vibrant, multi-cultural and serves as a convenient place for people in the area.

A few weekends ago, Tysons Reporter attended one of the entry-level sessions.
It’s hard to miss — there’s a giant banner outside an aging building at 1984 Chain Bridge Road, but the museum’s door is a little hard to find. Guests must walk up a set of indoor stairs to reach the repurposed office, which consists of roughly 1,000 square feet of space.

​Soul Talk: Can Spirituality and Politics Govern?

​By Sister Jenna
Have you ever wondered who our congressional leaders are? What do they really believe, beyond what we know of their policies? Who are the people making the decisions for the lives of citizens in America?

Museums Perspective
Meditation Museum: Communing with the divine in Silver Spring
By Anne Midgette
Classical Music Critic
October 12th
Clear your mind of all your expectations about museums and what they are. Clear your mind of definitions that say real museums are not housed in a small storefront in Silver Spring, hard by the turnoff to the Capital Beltway, in a small ’60s-vintage office building with a water cooler by the glass office door. There are some testimonials and certificates hanging in the glassed-in bulletin board by the door, as well as a text that begins, “We hope your visit here will offer you a unique experience of peace and power.”

​Inclusion Revolution: Together with Love  -  Sister Jenna and JoRob Create Spiritual Hip Hop Meditation

By McKenna Rowe November 17th, 2017
When a yogi and a hip-hop artist decide to join forces and help counteract the craziness that’s going in our world, wonderful things happen….like the new album Inclusion Revolution: Together with Love. It’s an amazing example of a spiritual hip hop meditation combination.
​
Sister Jenna is the founder of the Meditation Museum in Washington D.C. and host of a popular online syndicated radio show America Meditating. She and hip-hop artist JoRob (Waldron) have come together to provide a soothing, soulful musical meditation experience. They are joined by Kristin Hoffmann and Paul Luftenegger who also provide music on the album.

Inclusion Revolution: Together with Love is a great concept to help bring newcomers into the meditation movement. Meditation can be too intimidating and exotic for many people to wrap their heads around…thus, they may never start. This work provides different beautiful, downtempo musical arrangements fused with hip-hop and soul. The music serves as a bed supporting Sister Jenna’s gentle voice. Her voice is warm and loving, and instantly shifts your psyche into one that is constructive and positive.
