Phillips Collection Hosts Three-Part Sound Bath Series with Ofosu Jones-Quartey

A free three-part virtual sound bath series led by mindfulness teacher and singer Ofosu Jones-Quartey was listed by the Phillips Collection on February 11, 2026, as part of its Art & Wellness Club. The museum described the offering this way: “Over the course of three sessions, mindfulness teacher and singer Ofosu Jones-Quartey will lead a special series of virtual meditations and sound baths inspired by nature’s elements—earth, air, and water.”

Each session was framed as a 30-minute online meditation within the Phillips’s Art & Wellness Club. The museum’s event text invited participants to “join us for free 30-minute online meditations,” and specified that each session is “inspired by an artwork from the collection” and “includes a Spotlight Talk by a Phillips Educator about the artwork.” The listing also stated plainly, “The event begins with a Spotlight led by a Phillips Educator.”

Session I was explicitly tied to Sarah Anne Johnson’s work The Mountain Top (Tree Planting project), 2002. The Phillips Collection catalog citation for that work reads: Sarah Anne Johnson, The Mountain Top (Tree Planting project), 2002, Chromogenic print, 20 x 24 in., The Phillips Collection, Gift from the Heather and Tony Podesta Collection, Washington, DC, 2012. The program’s first session “draws inspiration from Sarah Anne Johnson’s The Mountain Top (Tree Planting project),” the museum listing said.

Ofosu Jones-Quartey appears in museum materials under his professional name and on social platforms as Born I. The Blue Spirit Costa Rica website lists Ofosu Jones-Quartey (Born I) as a teacher who led “You Are Enough: Mindful Self-Compassion & Soundbath” during Wisdom and Wellbeing Weeks 2024, Week 3, January 27 – February 3, 2024. An Instagram post excerpt shows a photo shared by Born I / Ofosu Jones-Quartey on February 06, 2026 with hashtags including #hiphop #wellness #soundbath #valentinesday #dchotels.

Logistics in the Phillips listing were straightforward: Session I is “Online via Zoom,” and Sessions II and III appear in Related Events with status “Registration Open / Free / Online.” The listing emphasized access requirements: “Free. Reservation required for Zoom access.” For accessibility requests the museum directed users to email reservations@phillipscollection.org and provided this guidance: “If you would like to request an accessibility service, please email reservations@phillipscollection.org in advance of the event. Providing two weeks’ notice is recommended, though not required. Full efforts will be made to accommodate requests. For more information, please review our visitor guidelines.”

The Phillips Collection also framed the series within its fundraising and membership messaging, asking supporters to “Help us continue to serve our community by providing free virtual events. Make a donation [...] Become a Member.” The museum listing did not include specific calendar start times for the three sessions in the excerpts provided; registration pages on the Phillips Collection site list Sessions II and III as open but gave no additional dates in the materials reviewed.
