The course was facilitated by Gigi and Mikaela Falk, who have brought a deep connection to this
work. “Our goal is to help others see themselves and the world in novel and eye-opening ways.
Through this Community Program, we explore what “the Art of Human Being” is all about. We
look at what it means to be human and we connect to our humanity by exploring topics like
authentic connection, open-hearted listening, and perspective shifting. We’re planting seeds that
we hope will offer opportunities for greater reflection, authenticity, courage, and passion in daily
life. Ultimately, we’re just sharing what we wish we learned in school,” comments Gigi Falk.
