The Open Center is the longest-running urban holistic center and a home for spiritual practice in New York City. Since 1984, its pioneering programs have helped seed global interest in spiritual inquiry, healing arts, personal growth, bodywork and movement. While the Open Center has temporarily suspended in-person programs and events to support community efforts to contain the coronavirus, its commitment to holistic thought and learning will continue online, says CEO Ross Guttler.

“The beauty of spiritual practice and holistic living is that it can be done anywhere,” Guttler says. “While the Open Center's physical space at 30th and Madison may be temporarily closed to the public for the health and safety of our community, we are now offering a host of online programs, so you can continue your work while at home. 

“Whether it be a webinar on learning xi breathing to awaken your inner power and activate wisdom, love and vitality with author and qigong expert Robert Peng; or delving into the traditional Chinese healing arts; or teaching executive coaches and health and wellness practitioners how to build a thriving and profitable practice, the New York Open Center offers a wide variety of programs, led by teachers of wisdom, passion and skill.”
