Meditation Group
A Safe Meditation Space for Veterans
Dr. Ayesha Suneja will be leading the team through guided meditation, which can help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, enhance focus, and support overall mental well-being. We look forward to seeing you there!
This meditation group is non-denominational and open to all veterans, including both beginners and experienced meditators. No prior meditation practice is required, and participants do not need to know how to meditate or quiet their thoughts. The focus is on creating a safe, supportive space to slow down, settle the nervous system, and experience calm and awareness.

What to Expect
This meditation group offers a slow, guided experience focused on creating a sense of safety and ease in the body and mind. You do not need any prior meditation experience, and there is no expectation to quiet your thoughts or “do it right.” Sessions are gentle and supportive, with simple guidance to help settle the nervous system, increase awareness, and build practical grounding skills. You are always in control of your participation and may engage at whatever level feels comfortable for you. The emphasis is on presence, regulation, and connection—not performance.
