A 9-Month GradUATE Journey of Co-Creation with Spirit

Stay tuned for the next opportunity to join.

Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

A 9-Month Sacred Yes Journey

One of the hallmarks of the USM journey has always been the Second Year Project, a sacred invitation to bring something meaningful into form while being deeply supported by spiritual principles, practice, and community. Over the years, we’ve witnessed individuals consistently soar beyond what they thought was possible, discovering new capacities, courage, and aliveness as they said “YES!” to their Soul’s call.

Projects may be modeled on a Second Year Project, take the form of a Relationship Project, or even a Sacred Healing project if you’re a CHH grad.

In that same spirit, you’ll also have the option to form a Project Team—offering support, accountability, and community as you bring your Sacred Yes into co-creation.

“Your hopes, dreams, and inspirations are legitimate.
They are trying to take you airborne,
above the clouds, above the storms,
if you will only let them.”
William James

This new offering will take shape as a 9-month container beginning in April 2026 with one online class per month which will include a Working Your Process trio with other USM Grads and large group sharing with USM Faculty each month.

A Gym For Your Consciousness

A Message From Emilio Diez Barroso​

USM Graduate, Class of 2009
Member of the USM Board of Trustees since 2016
President & CEO of USM since 2024

As a USM Grad, you know the power of being in the USM energy field. Do you remember those moments of transformation and insight—when suddenly something happened in a trio, or maybe someone’s sharing inspired you—and you knew things would never be the same?

Some part of us may have imagined that having these tools meant that we wouldn’t get so triggered again, that those monumental shifts in perspective would put an end to all our challenges.
Our USM education certainly makes issues easier to navigate, but this human experience seems to be rich with opportunities for healing. We know that growth is a process, not an event.
Think of this Membership like a gym where we get to consciously dive into those areas of our lives that need attention.
Saying YES is an act of self-care that prioritizes our commitment for healing and transformation in a space where our souls gather to learn, grow, and elevate together.

After signing up for the membership, one grad shared:

“I know I can do this work on my own … but I also know first-hand the power of accountability + the blessings of doing this with a loving community supported by the line of energy that works through the University.”

If you’re called to share Soul space and move higher into the Light within the Sacred container of the USM Online Classroom, join us.

A wonderful group of graduates is already gathered. Come meet old friends and make new ones as we dissolve any unconscious barriers that block us from the Awareness of our Oneness with All That Is.

As we know, Spirit meets us at the point of action. Discover what gifts of Revelation, Liberation, and Grace Spirit has for you!

Mary Hulnick

What an extraordinary gift it is to be awake to Love … to accept responsibility for the state of our consciousness, for the unfoldment of our lives … to recognize the opportunities to be of service, to live a more fully surrendered life … surrendered to our Essential Loving Nature, surrendered to Spirit, and surrendered to the Awareness of that which informs and guides us and our unique path of unfoldment and service here on the planet.
