Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

Connect to wisdom and deep relaxation under the guidance of meditation teacher, hip-hop artist and author Ofosu Jones-Quartey aka Born I.

Heart Sutra SoundBath

The Heart Sutra conveys the essence of the perfection of wisdom, or insight. Listening to a recitation of this Buddhist sutra can take us beyond cognitive understanding and into a felt experience. A Heart Sutra soundbath, by encouraging profound relaxation, creates a spacious ground in which insight is invited to arise. 

At this Heart Sutra soundbath event, Ofosu will offer a guided meditation followed by a crystal bowl soundbath and talk on the nature of freedom as expressed in the Heart Sutra.

Students will come away having nourished their minds and hearts with spiritual art and will have a deeper and non-linear appreciation for their own true nature as freedom itself.

Who is this event for?

This event is for anyone who is interested in an experiential teaching on the Heart Sutra and/or simply relaxing to the healing sounds of crystal bowls.

Everyone is welcome, no prior meditation experience is necessary.  

Where is this event located? 

This event will take place in person at the Benedict Canyon Retreat House and online via Zoom. Yoga mats, blankets, chairs and meditation cushions are available. Please bring anything else (eye masks, extra layers) that may help bring ease and comfort to your experience.

Find directions, accessibility, and important parking information here.  Zoom details will be sent via email immediately after registration.

Attending In Person? In keeping with the principles of the dharma that underlie our activities, primarily non-harming, we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend in person. Masks are optional as all attendees are fully vaccinated. Attendance is limited to allow for social distancing.
