Testimonials
“I first experienced Gigi and Kayla’s Art of Human Being in November 2018. It is so rare to find a space where you are able to reflect on your life, connect with others and yourself, and grow through various structured workshops. Gigi and Kayla’s workshops are highlights of my week…they have had a profound impact on me - now that I have moved to London, I am just waiting for them to open something out here!”

“I was blown away by all the love and thought that went into this workshop. The attention to detail in nailing the pacing, variety, and meaningfulness of each session was astounding, and the mediators were rockstars. Tough to find all the right words but they are all great words!”

“Gigi and Kayla created a really safe space to explore the self and the self in relation to other people, to the community, to the Earth; to the Divine. They combine academic literature, science, new-age thinking, and old-age wisdom. That's pretty cool, and something we all need more of in life!”
– Catherine Hormats, Executive Coach and Organizational Psychologist
“This was my first mindfulness group I have become a part of since moving to New York. I found the people and practices of enormous value. Some key take-aways I’ve had are the power of shared consciousness and modern practices to incorporate more peace and power into my daily life. I’m so excited for the next installment of this Art of Human Being series with the wonderful instructors Kayla and Gigi.”

“While some of the concepts and sensations explored in this workshop can be foreign and (at times) challenging, it was incredibly rewarding. The energy fostered by the instructors with the group was extraordinary and helped heighten the impact of my takeaways from each lesson. You will walk away feeling empowered to continue your own personal growth in addition to your exploration of mindfulness and The Art of Human Being.”
