    Consciousness infuses all life on this planet and beyond

    The Science and Consciousness degree programs are designed to help us deepen our understanding of consciousness and our engagement in its fields of information and energy. They provide rigorous academic and scientific teaching combined with direct experience of the subject matter resulting in grounded and embodied learning.


    Building on far-reaching research such as the 28 years at Princeton’s Engineering Anomalies Research lab and related academic study, the degrees build on these foundations that have been laid and give us the opportunity to explore areas that few have gone to before.

    “Moving from industrial to consciousness civilization is
    the exciting challenge facing humanity at this time.
    These unique degree programs prepare you
    thoroughly for this challenge and identify you as a guide for the future.”

    About Wyrd Education and ICRL

    The International Consciousness Research Labs (ICRL) was established in 1990 to continue and build on the work of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research labs (PEAR). ICRL works with communities at a local level, providing resources for individuals and organizations to expand their own understanding of consciousness as it relates to science, art, education, and health, as well as propagate that understanding to others. 

    Wyrd Education works with Wyrd Experience who inherited the equipment and library from the PEAR lab in 2020, based at the Broughton Sanctuary in Yorkshire, UK. Wyrd Education focuses on providing learning experiences that remind us of the nature of our interconnectedness.

    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

    The Creative Journey To Dissertation

    It is a 1-week intensive designed by our Dean of Graduate Studies Dr. Gyorgyi Szabo. The course is a critical part of the dissertation writing process and is a requirement for all MA/PhD candidates.

    Dr Vasileios Basios

    Senior researcher in the Physics of Complex Systems at the University of Brussels, specialises in self-organisation and emergence in complex matter, with a background in working with Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine’s team at the Solvay Institutes. 
    He delves into the history of scientific ideas and is passionate about a qualitative shift in science, challenging the dominant materialistic-reductionist worldview. Vasileios is an advocate of self-reflection in scientific practice. He aims to contribute insights from the science of complex systems, as they offer essential transformative potential. His goal is to develop a resilient network of individuals, groups and organisations to advance this transformative scientific paradigm. As a member of the steering team of the Galileo Commission, he initiated its working group activities and was the first to establish the so-called “oREgano” working group (with the help of Brenda Dunne, Roger Nelson, Jeff Dunne and Wolfhardt Janu). He is a board member of the ICRL, currently co-chairs the Scientific and Medical Network, and is part of the newly formed Wyrd Research team.

    Dr. Wolfhardt Janu

    Dr Wolfhardt Janu is core faculty for the Hack your World courses. ​​He holds a PhD in chemistry and worked for 10 years in academic research. He then moved to be a freelancer in software and hardware development for customized laboratory solutions.
    At the same time he set up his own private laboratory to investigate the relationship between matter and consciousness, his main scientific interest for 25 years. Together with his colleagues and friends he developed a new method to scan the output of two random number event generators (REG’s) for correlations, which enables one to detect with high precision changes in a non-local field, mainly known as the field of consciousness.

    On his journey, he has been practicing Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu for 19 years, discovered African Shamanism (Sangoma) and (co-)led several private scientific teams investigating the “paranormal” in theory and practice. In 2007 he got to know the work of Ken Wilber and since then he and his team(s) have been using the Integral map as the main tool to navigate and communicate on the margins of the so-called “unknown”.
    Wolfhardt Janu is married, has two children and lives in Austria.

    David Vernon

    David Vernon is a psychologist specializing in neuroscience, cognition and research methods. His research interests include parapsychology, enhancing human performance, creativity, and neurofeedback. In particular, he is interested in the implications of psi research for models and theories of consciousness.

    Paula Petry

    Paula holds a doctoral degree in Teaching and Learning from the University of Miami. After a long career at its medical school in the department of pediatrics, she resigned feeling there was a better way. The void gave way to the most improbable transformative healing. She traveled and studied with experts on the Akashic Records, shamanic energy medicine, and sound healing modalities. Her 2020 memoir, A Mother’s Courage to Awaken, Hope and Inspiration from My Daughter’s Journey in the AfterLife, helps others live courageous inner lives. Paula is a public speaker, has a private practice, and facilitates a weekly Power of 8 healing group. Her passion for helping today’s struggling youth has resulted in her curriculum, Destiny Code, teaching the precepts found in indigenous wisdom through the lens of science. She works in several capacities with Ubiquity University, its youth initiative, Humanity Rising guest, and teaches the course, The Power of Regenerative Grief.

    HH Khedrupchen Rinpoche

    Monla Khedrup Rinpoche (also referred to as Khedrupchen Rinpoche) was born in 1990 in Eastern Bhutan. He was recognized and enthroned as the fifth reincarnation of Kyabgon Monla Khedrup Jigme Kundrol, a renowned scholar and practitioner from Bhutan who was one of the main students of Jigme Lingpa, a highly revered and realized teacher of eighteenth century Tibet.

    Rinpoche started his formal monastic education from the age of thirteen in Phagchok Monastery in Eastern Bhutan under the guidance of Lama Kunzang Namdrol. In 2006, he joined Mindrolling College in India for nine years of advanced Buddhist studies in sutras and tantras where he graduated in 2015 with an acharya degree (equivalent to a Ph.D.). Upon completion he was appointed teaching faculty at Mindrolling, a great honor, and taught there for three years. He has studied directly under many eminent Buddhist teachers across various sects of Tibetan Buddhism. His main teachers are the late His Holiness the Fourth Dodrupchen Rinpoche, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyenste Rinpoche, Dza Jigme Namgyal, Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche and Khenchen Katayana. He has also completed several years of intensive short and long-term meditation retreats.

    Rinpoche is Founder and President of Khedrup Foundation, a non-profit religious organization registered in Bhutan, Supreme Head of Rephel Mebar Lhakhang, a 1,200-year old temple of great historical significant in Trongsa, Central Bhutan, and Founder and Spiritual Director of Sangchen Ogyen Tsuklag Monastery in Trongsa, Central Bhutan and Phajo Gonpa Gomde, a yogi retreat center, in Samdrup Jongkhar, Eastern Bhutan.

    Rinpoche’s activities often consist of putting wisdom and compassion into social action. In 2016, he founded Siddhartha’s Wisdom Club to introduce Buddhist wisdom and values for youth, helping them live in harmony with their inner and outer nature, particularly connecting inner well-being with environmental preservation. In 2017, he founded the Ami-Deva Association for elder citizens to help create a community of connection and belonging where they can deeply practice meditation for inner well-being. Additionally, Rinpoche is involved in numerous humanitarian activities across the country in a range of areas.

    Rinpoche travels around the world teaching and collaborating with scholars and practitioners in universities, institutes, and centers in order to innovate new skillful-means for teaching Buddha-Dharma in a modern context and to continue the lineages of Buddhism for future generations.
