The Leading Edge Living Wisdom Program
The Invitation
Each month, we’ll explore one core wisdom principle drawn from a synthesis of pioneering scientific research, ancient traditions, integral leadership, and personal transformation.
You’ll be guided by Ubiquity University faculty, Guest leading wisdom teachers from around the world, and supported by a trusted cohort.
What if wisdom wasn’t something you learned
…but something you lived?
The Living Wisdom Program is a 12-month immersive, intentional program for members of the Leading Edge community ready to step beyond the limitations of current paradigms and explore the deeper intelligence shaping our lives, relationships, and systems.
Designed for a small, select cohort of 12 professionals, this intimate journey invites you to slow down, reflect and engage in a monthly principle that has informed the lives of sages, scientists, and changemakers throughout history.
Each principle will allow you to deepen into what matters most, through allowing life’s distractions and noise to dissipate.
