– What People Are Saying –
“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
“It may seem dramatic to call this life-changing but it really might be. I entered this workshop almost completely green having only dabbled in meditation through the various apps which did not work because I had no clue what to do or how to do it. There were so many little nuggets and key concepts that just clicked in how they were presented. It was a little nerve-wrecking to put myself into such a personal class with complete strangers but Gigi and all of the students had such positive energy that I immediately felt comfortable. The class became a staple of my week and I was excited to share my learnings and soak in the new teachings. Overall an incredible experience to launch my journey to explore meditation for the rest of my life.”
– James Fierro, New York City Real Estate AgentI
“Gigi and Kayla’s ‘The Art of Human Being’ is a truly wonderful, eye-opening experience. Gigi and Kayla both hold within them a curiosity and dedication to helping others live their best lives that is truly inspiring. The best part of the workshop is that it is attainable for everyone, no matter the amount of experience you bring with you. From first-time meditators to mindfulness experts, all are welcomed and walk away feeling a sense of community and love that is greatly sought after in a place like NYC. Catch these two wonderful ladies while you can! Thank you Gigi and Kayla, I can’t wait for the next workshop.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Gigi and Kayla brought together a community of inspiring, open-hearted individuals, willing to explore the inner world and exchange experiences. The weekly ritual of coming together in ceremony, brought a sense of the sacred to the secular world we ordinarily live in. I am deeply grateful for the friendships I made while attending their workshops, and am looking forward to continuing to be a part of the expanding community they are building.”
– Michael Ian Kirsch, Co-Founder of Axis Mundi, Musician, Producer
“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!”
– Dan Lerman, Doctoral candidate at Columbia University’s Teachers College, Founder of Latitude Tutors, and Teacher at Saint Ann's School
“This three-day workshop was such an inspiring and empowering experience! Kayla and Gigi gave instructions and facilitated discussion in a ay that was authentic, non-judgmental, and eye-opening. I discovered a lot about myself through meditation exercises and learned concrete tools to apply to everyday situations. The class atmosphere was also welcoming and engaging so everyone can be at their own pace regardless of prior experience with mindfulness. I recommend this class to anyone interested in personal growth and discovery!”
