The Ubiquity Graduate Degree

The Ubiquity Graduate Program combines the US and European designs of graduate programs with a blend of taught learning with research and writing. The thesis or dissertation must demonstrate excellence at every level. It must show awareness of the history of the literature in your particular area; demonstrate careful analysis and understanding of the field in question; and, most importantly, show how your insight can be applied to the real world. The dissertation must be scholarly and utilize extensive bibliographical data and footnotes. It should, in other words, be an impeccable work of research.

Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions

Gabor Fináli

GaborFinaliHWL

Gabriel Fináli is a Neolog rabbi from Budapest, Hungary. Born in 1977, he grew up during the era of the Iron Curtain and witnessed the political transformation that reshaped Eastern Europe as he reached adulthood. His personal search for meaning mirrored that of a whole region redefining its identity.

In the 1990s he lived in Israel and the United States, a decade of optimism and openness for both countries. During that time, he became an observant Jew, but later grew critical of orthodoxy and chose the Neolog path — a moderate reform movement that seeks to understand Jewish sources in their historical context while maintaining recognizable traditions and rituals.

For more than twenty years he has served as a religious leader, and for almost a decade as an ordained rabbi. He has written many articles, questioned taboos, and engaged in debates on faith and modern life. He has worked with youth, taught in schools, and prefers informal settings to share Jewish wisdom.

Active in interfaith dialogue, he also leads a music band through which he reaches people who might never attend a synagogue. He lives in Budapest with his family, near his community’s synagogue, Ohel Avraham — the Tent of Abraham.

Aunty Ivy

AuntyIvyHWL

Aunty Ivy is a proud Grandmother, Mother, and Global Aunty from Aotearoa (New Zealand), and the founder of the OUR Foundation. Her journey began as a healer working with youth, supporting those facing addiction, homelessness, and intergenerational trauma by integrating culturally grounded healing practices and healthy ways of life.

Motivated by a deep commitment to global harmony, Ivy embarked on a decade-long global walkabout, engaging with communities, the unhoused, United Nations leaders, and grassroots organizers across many countries. These shared experiences shaped her understanding of culturally connected solutions, highlighting the importance of identity, storytelling, and ancestral knowledge in restoring resilience and well-being.

Ivy has since consulted for healing homes and community centers, aligning Indigenous wisdom with contemporary frameworks. Her work bridges generations and worldviews—promoting leadership rooted in cultural identity, funding impact-driven projects, and advocating for sustainable humanity.

Through her voice, presence, and practice, Ivy brings healing, clarity, and connection, helping others remember that true transformation begins with honoring where we come from. Her life’s work is a testament to the enduring power of culture to create peace across people and place.

Her work is devoted to the recognition that we live in an ensouled world and to the restoration of the lost sense of communion between us and the invisible dimension of the Cosmos that is the source and ground of all that we call ‘life’.

She lives in the UK near Winchester with her husband, artist Robin Baring, close to her daughter and grandson. Her two wide-ranging websites include a playlist of over 100 talks and interviews on YouTube and the audio recordings of The Dream of the Cosmos and her latest book about The Forgotten Feminine Face of God.

Helene Lindmark

HeleneLindmarkHWL

Helene Lindmark was born in Liikavaara, above the Arctic Circle, in the northern region of Sápmi. The landscape of long winters, shifting light, and deep relationship with the land shaped her early understanding that life is relational, between people, nature, memory, and future generations. She carries ancestral roots from Sámi, Swedish, Finnish, and other northern minority traditions of Scandinavia and the Arctic. For her, heritage is not something to claim, but something to care for. She serves as a custodian of northern knowledge traditions, holding them with integrity while engaging the realities of contemporary society.

Her professional foundation is in social services and psychiatric trauma care, where she spent many years walking alongside individuals and families through investigation, treatment, and long-term recovery. There she came to understand resilience not as a concept, but as lived reconstruction. The quiet strength required to rebuild a life after rupture.

Her own path has moved through many layers, personal, cultural, professional, and spiritual. Experiences of loss, transition, and renewal did not fragment her. They deepened her.

Whatever context she enters, leadership, community, education, or dialogue. Her orientation remains the same, grounded in the heart, guided by inner clarity, and anchored in responsibility for future generations.

Eisenstein’s work covers a wide range of topics, including the history of human civilization, economics, spirituality, and the ecology movement. Key themes explored include anti-consumerism, interdependence, and how myth and narrative influence culture. According to Eisenstein, global culture is immersed in a destructive “story of separation”, and one of the main goals of his work is to present an alternative “story of interbeing”. Much of his work draws on ideas from Eastern philosophy, the spiritual teachings of various indigenous peoples, and the New Age.

As an activist, Eisenstein has been involved in the Occupy and New Economy movements. He has promoted eco-villages, permaculture, local currencies, gift economies, economic degrowth and universal basic income. Noting the influence of conspiracy theories on Eisenstein’s writing and activism, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, Matthew Remski described him as the “poet philosopher of conspirituality.” Eisenstein was a senior advisor for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Magdalena Smieszek

MagdalenaSmieszekHWL

Dr. Magdalena Smieszek is an international lawyer, humanitarian, and educator working at the intersection of human rights, development, and planetary futures. For over a decade, she has worked with UN agencies including UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP, and IOM, inside the very systems designed to protect human dignity. What she encountered, again and again, was that those most affected by global decisions are often the least able to shape them.

This experience led her to ask not only how law and governance function, but who they are for, and what kind of inner capacities are required to lead in a world shaped by complexity, displacement, and rapid technological change.

Magdalena’s research explores how legal and governance systems evolve in response to global challenges. She has numerous publications on the subject of international law, peacebuilding and the governance of emerging technologies, and is the author of The Evolving Psyche of Law, a psychohistorical account of human rights in relation to refugees, migrants, and citizens.

She writes The Cosmocitizens’ Tribune, a Substack exploring planetary citizenship as an inner and civic practice. She is also the founder of Cosmocitizens Foundation, an initiative devoted to building ethical and civic foundations for a planetary era, so that governance, technology, and law serve human beings, not the other way around.

At the heart of her work lies the simple question of what does leadership become when it is guided not only by intellect and power, but by conscience, ethics, compassion, and the courage to imagine a different future?
