Who We Are
A Foundation Built for This Moment
Welcome to the Global Wisdom Foundation — where universal wisdom meets the power of music to heal and unite. In a world fractured by dissonance, we offer a fresh approach that goes beyond the limitations of the mind, awakening the deeper intelligence of the heart and soul.
Founded by Emmy Award-winning composer Gary Malkin and inspired by his Graceful Passages co-creator Michael Stillwater, the Global Wisdom Foundation crafts and shares universal messages through ‘alchemical wisdom.’ We use music — the universal language of emotion — to shift our cultural focus from the linear mind to the heart and soul, fostering a more compassionate and interconnected world.
