Ho‘oponopono: A Path to Inner Peace and Connection
Presented by: Ben Onanian
About the presenter:
Ben Onanian was born in Iran to Jewish parents and came to the United States at the age of 17 to pursue his studies. Over the next 45 years, he built a successful career in electronics and computer systems, fueled by a lifelong curiosity about how things work—both in the physical world and within the human mind.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ben has devoted much of his life to exploring spirituality and psychology. His perspectives have been shaped by influential works such as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the writings of Carlos Castaneda, Conversations with God, A Course in Miracles, Zero Limits, The Power of Now, and numerous other books on Buddhism and meditation.
This lifelong journey of inquiry and self-discovery has led Ben to practices like Ho‘oponopono, which align deeply with his commitment to personal growth, healing, and understanding the interconnectedness of life.
