Globe Institute

I visited the Globe Sound and Consciousness Institute for a sound healing workshop and open house. Globe Institute is one of those special San Francisco places. The sound healing table was a highlight but really it's all excellent: the instruments, and of course the sound system. What a treat!

Negligent owner. Basically a glorified and over priced drop shipping company for audio components. Took a week and a half for them to ask for my address after paying almost a thousand dollars. Sent order in three separate packages with no tracking info provided. Sloppy, inconsiderate and genuinely unkind. Never again Globe.

Edit for response: he just drop ships his 'sound healing' equipment from Amazon. Get real buddy you over charged for my headphones and all components and it took weeks to get. No wonder you're under 3 stars.

I called with a few preliminary questions because I was set on enrolling in one of the certification programs. I expected to receive a receptionist but I was immediately directed to David, who I know is the head of the Institute. I appreciated that he was able to receive my call but the conversation was met with so much hostility that I could not get off the phone fast enough. I was, I still am, extremely rattled by it. I had already read the website pamphlets extensively, I just wanted some clarification before putting $2000 down. I’m glad I called because the conversation I had was so jarring, I would never want to be around someone who speaks to individuals, perspective students or otherwise, so rudely on the phone. At one point he said to me, after I repeated something for clarification “Are you deaf!? That’s what I just said!”. This is not even the worst part of the 5 min conversation that transpired. It was so offputting I will be looking for another institute for my certification. In a way, I am grateful David answered and not a receptionist- as he is the primary instructor that one interacts with. I would not have known about this negative vibe unless I had this conversation. I can’t even recall when I have ever been spoken to like that by a person I did not know. I didn’t think asking a few questions was such an inconvenience or a warrant for such hostility.

I’m sure the Institute does not need or want my money- this is just a review to inform perspective students- I recommend you call David yourself and decide if you want to learn from this person before enrolling.
