Communication is a Game — Here's How To Play

For nine days Tariq Cayne lived amongst Costa Ricans in Puerto Viejo. It was a very refreshing experience that challenged his cultural beliefs that he didn't know he was plagued with. Through this experience, Tariq discovered what gives us strength in humanity; togetherness and the ability to cooperate. Join us for this Share Life Academy workshop where we take these lessons learned and discover The Communication Game.
