A Discipline represents a structured major and learning journey where members actively develop skills and earn credentials in their chosen field. Upon joining, members can select one or more paths aligned with their spiritual practice or personal growth goals. Each Discipline has a Magister who serves as a subject matter expert who presides over the leaders and coaches for that path.
Paths offer accredited certifications based on completed classes and accumulated credits. Once certified, members continue their professional development through continuing education and practical experience, ensuring their credentials remain current and relevant.

The Discipline in Usui Ryoho Reiki is a profound journey into the traditional Japanese system of energy healing as rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui and transmitted through the Hawayo Takata lineage. This is not merely a certification program; it is a holistic path of spiritual development, self-purification, and service. The curriculum emphasizes the Five Precepts of Reiki as a foundation for life, moving beyond technique to cultivate tanden (energetic center), mindful presence, and a heart of compassionate action.
This major treats Reiki as a living, meditative art form - a Dō (way/path)rooted in its Japanese origins while honoring its Western adaptations. Students are guided to become clear vessels for Rei (Universal/Sacred) Ki (Life Force Energy), developing skill in hands-on and distant healing for self, others, and the world.

The Discipline in Divination Studies is a rigorous academic and experiential exploration of humanity's timeless quest to understand fate, free will, and hidden knowledge through symbolic systems. This program transcends mere fortune-telling, positioning divination as a sacred technology for dialogue with the subconscious, the collective unconscious, and the subtle patterns of the universe. Students will master multiple divinatory languages from tarot and astrology to geomancy and scrying while developing the critical intuition, ethical framework, and psychological insight necessary for responsible practice.
This major operates on a core principle: The tool does not see; the seer sees through the tool. The focus is on cultivating the inner oracle - a state of receptive, interpretative clarity.

The Discipline in Parapsychology is a rigorous, multidisciplinary program that bridges the ancient human experience of the anomalous with the methodologies of modern science. This field, historically termed "psychical research," seeks to empirically investigate and understand phenomena that appear to operate outside current models of physical causation. The curriculum is built upon a foundational tension: to approach the mystical with empirical rigor, and the empirical with mystical open-mindedness.
This is not a program in belief, but in disciplined inquiry. Students are trained to be both skeptics and visionaries capable of designing controlled experiments for Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP) or psychokinesis (PK), while also understanding the profound philosophical and psychological implications of such phenomena. The core mandate is to ask the questions mainstream science often ignores, using the tools mainstream science demands.

NSE/IAOTH Certified Parapsychology Practitioner (100/200/300 Hours)
NSE/IAOTH Certified Paranormal Investigator (100/200/300 Hours)
