Come to learn, grow, and experience personal and academic transformation, and be a part of a diverse, inclusive community of students from all over the world.

With our unique Consciousness-Based approach to education, commitment to sustainability, and emphasis on student wellbeing, our campus will provide you with a living and learning environment that nurtures mind, body, and spirit.

“Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, the world shifters, the game shakers. They challenge you, break you open, uplift and expand you. They don’t let you play small with your life. These heartbeats are your people.” – Danielle Doby
