Enter the Luminous Bardo of Dharmata with us at Sparrow, a contemporary funeral home (modern charnel ground), and return to life renewed, refreshed, and re-birthed!

Find a comfortable position, relax, and prepare to experience the dying process as described in the Tibetan Book of Dead, and later adapted for psychedelic trip sessions by Drs. Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (aka Ram Dass).

Before and following the journey, we invite you to visit our new DEATH EDUCATION SALON, curated by death doula Daphne Mac. Engage in further study and open conversation about death and dying with professionals in the field.

This event is a sound bath. That means you can sprawl out on the floor, but please bring your own mat, pillow, and blanket. As well as any offerings of the senses (i.e. food, incense, candles, flowers), for our Psychedelic Buddhism altar installation.

CHRIS DINGMAN | Vibraphone

NYC-based vibraphonist and composer Chris Dingman is known for his distinctive approach to the instrument, at once sonically rich and conceptually expansive. In his captivating solo performances, he casts an enveloping atmosphere, creating layers of simultaneous sound that take listeners to a transcendent place. Chris has worked with the legendary artists Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter and many other of today’s jazz and world music luminaries. Based in NYC since 2002, Chris had been documenting his solo improvisations privately for many years. When his father entered hospice care in 2018, he created the 5-hour extended album Peace. This led to an ongoing evolution of his solo music and his critically acclaimed albums Journeys Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Chris actively tours and has performed worldwide. NPR, the New York Times, AMNY, and many other publications have profiled him. He has received fellowships and grants from Chamber Music America, New Music USA, South Arts, and the Thelonious Monk Institute.
