Event Overview

We are hosting a special Mindful Creative Gathering — a fundraising evening designed for Torontonians across wellbeing, wellness, and creative communities.

It’s a space where mindfulness, hip-hop, and creative expression come together to explore how we care for ourselves and for each other.

At the heart of the evening is a simple idea: Mental Wellbeing → Community Wellbeing

Featuring Born I, a Washington, D.C.-based hip-hop meditation facilitator and musician, this gathering blends guided hip-hop meditation, live performance, and storytelling into an experience that feels grounded, expressive, and real.

This is an invitation to reconnect — with your mind, your creativity, and your community.

Your participation supports the growth of our community work, including mental wellbeing programs, creative gatherings, and accessible spaces for connection.

This gathering is for:

• Toronto’s wellness and mindfulness community

• creatives, artists, and cultural practitioners who are interested in mindfulness and mental wellbeing

• young professionals seeking balance and meaning

• community builders and social impact leaders

Whether you come from a meditation background or a creative space — or both — this is a place to meet at the intersection.

What to Expect:

• Guided hip-hop meditation & sound bath

• Live music performance

• Meaningful connection and community gathering

• Book signing and merch

Born I (Ofosu Jones-Quartey) is a Ghanaian-American artist, author, and mindfulness teacher working at the intersection of hip-hop and Buddhism. Blending poetic lyricism with contemplative insight, his music and teachings explore self-compassion, presence, and liberation. He is the author of Lyrical Dharma: Hip-Hop as Mindfulness and creator of the Hip-Hop Soundbath, a live experience weaving meditation, music, and sound healing.
