Joanie Forest
Assistant to Betty Jones
Joanie's journey is a testament to the transformative power of dedication and learning under remarkable mentors. Her meditation journey, spanning from the transformative teacher training with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to years of teaching across the US, showcases her commitment to personal growth and sharing the benefits of meditation with others. Embracing eastern astrology in the 80s opened up a new realm of spiritual exploration for Joanie, culminating in a profound partnership with the revered Indian astrologer, Dr. M P Uniyal, who became both her spiritual guide and astrology mentor. Under his guidance, Joanie expanded her knowledge to encompass both Jyotish and the psychological aspects of western astrology. The significant move to Los Angeles in pursuit of deeper studies is a testament to her unwavering dedication to learning and growing. Her subsequent collaboration with Betty Jones and ongoing studies in Vedic Astrology at the Saraswati School of Meditation and Wellness exemplify Joanie's continuous pursuit of knowledge and her commitment to sharing her wisdom with the world. Joanie's story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking out mentors, embracing new horizons, and staying dedicated to personal and spiritual growth.
