Academic Certificate and Graduate Degrees in The Art, Science and Spirituality of Water
Ubiquity University is partnering with Veda Austin, a leading researcher on the sacred properties of water. Together, we offer an academic certificate and postgraduate degrees (MA, PhD, or combined MA/PhD) in The Art, Science, and Spirituality of Water.
Course Overview
Students who wish to go further can apply the certificate toward a graduate degree at Ubiquity University, a Master’s (MA), a Doctorate (PhD), or a combined MA/PhD in the same field. These are separate graduate programs with separate tuition fees.
Veda Austin’s Certificate Program in The Art, Science and Spirituality of Water is an academic certificate designed for anyone interested in exploring the language of water and its deep connection to science, consciousness, and human experience. The cost of the certificate is $1500.
To join a degree program, students must first register for the certificate program. However, they do not need to complete the certificate first. Both programs can be pursued at the same time.
Experience the Intelligence of Water
27:30 | Veda shares her story ahead of her Chartres teaching on her healing encounter with New Zealand artesian water, Laurent Costa’s influence, and presents her CMP freezing method. She also shares her theory of light as water’s information highway.
28:33 | Veta Austin presents her hydroglyphs work and her specific water-freezing method produces repeatable symbolic ice patterns tied to words, sounds, and objects.

Meet your Facilitator
Veda Austin is a water researcher, public speaker, artist, author, and mother who has spent the past 14 years exploring water’s structural memory and responsiveness. She has pioneered a unique crystallographic method that visually captures water’s reactions to stimuli, revealing its awareness of thought, intention, and creation through imagery.
Veda believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the universe. Her primary focus is photographing water in its ‘state of creation’ (the space between liquid and ice) where it expresses a profound and dynamic language. Through her research, public talks, and published works, she challenges conventional perspectives, inspiring a deeper understanding of water as an intelligent and communicative force.
Veda is the author of The Living Language of Water, the culmination of decades worth of her research into the properties of water as it interacts with consciousness, intention, images, music, art and more.
She is also the author of The Secret Intelligence of Water: Macroscopic Evidence of Water Responding to Human Consciousness, exploring macroscopic photography techniques and Veda’s own groundbreaking technique for recording the language of water.
Veda frequently takes her teachings to the classroom, with the aim to reconnect children to the living water systems inside and outside of their bodies, believing that the ‘tamariki’ (children) are the water bearers of the future.
She is a frequent contributor to podcasts and journals worldwide, where she shares her inspiring findings and perspectives.
Certificate Curriculum:
The Art, Science and Spirituality of Water
4 Week Overview The Certificate program is a year in duration for full immersion and mastery of the freezing techniques and philosophy.
