This Boundless Freedom
“This Boundless Freedom points to the natural reality that is all there is. There is no such thing as separation. All there is, is what appears to be happening: boundless energy, which is whole and complete simply by being itself. There is nothing to find because nothing has been lost. All seeking is born out of the sense that there is something missing. A sense that turns out to be entirely illusory and to have never actually happened at all. Freedom never went anywhere. It was always just this.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Our online events are always recorded and the recording is sent to all registrants via email within a week, usually sooner. The recordings remain available for at least 1 year. We also occasionally record and/or livestream our in-person events. If that’s the case, you’ll find it noted on the given in-person event page.
It’s part of our core values to make our events as accessible as possible. If you are not able to pay within the sliding scale, we’d still like to make it possible for you to join by offering a partial scholarship. Please contact us on web@opencirclecenter.org to request a scholarship.
We offer our events by donation or sliding scale with scholarships available to make them as accessible as possible. We still however have many expenses to pay and therefore we ask that you contribute as much as you can comfortably afford for an event. Most of the funds are paid directly to the teacher. The remainder goes towards Open Circle’s expenses so that we can keep our platform in operation. Your generosity also helps cover any scholarships we offer to those unable to pay within the sliding scale.

You’ll find an overview of the nature of our events, including the common types and formats, in our About Events page.
Most events consist of a guided or silent meditation, a talk by the teacher, and time for questions and sharing. There may be other practices such as somatic exercises, movement practice, dyads, etc. Each teacher chooses the format freely according to what they feel supports their message best, so formats may vary.
The recording email may have landed in the spam or promotional folder in your inbox. After confirming it’s not there, please contact our support team at web@opencirclecenter.org.
Most of our in-person events require advance booking. However we do offer some events where you can just show up. Please check the event page relating to your event. We will clearly state there if advanced booking is required.
If in doubt, you can always email localevent@opencirclecenter.org to double check.
