There are no specific prerequisites other than a willingness to learn and engage with others throughout this educational experience. No specific background is needed; in fact, we anticipate everyone's unique backgrounds, perspectives, and feelings will enrich the experience for all involved. The general expectation is that participants will read each book before the deadline, generate thoughts and questions about each book and/or film, and engage with their peers in lively discussions and Q&As.

Anyone 18 and older who wants to:
Expand their knowledge and understanding of regional killer whales
Enjoys "deep diving" on topics and considering different perspectives
Can keep an open mind while engaging in respectful conversation
Looks forward to building community with other individuals who share the same passions
