AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL COLLEGE
An education in becoming.
A small residential cohort of young adults, ages 17–22, spending a multi-year arc learning, building, and going inward.
THE PROGRAM
What would happen if a tightknit group of all-in young people committed to a goal and gave it their all?
Gaining real practical skills, tapping into their full potential, learning from processes and mentors, and leading the way for others to follow. Everything here is an answer to that question.
A small residential cohort of young adults spends a deliberate, multi-year arc learning, building, and going inward until the foundation for a whole life is genuinely theirs. Built slowly, and built to last beyond any one lifetime.
OUR PILOT YEAR
One Year. Three Parts.
The cohort lives together seven days a week. A Preparation Cohort establishes the framework first; each year’s group refines it for the next.
01
Building a sacred space at SoHum
Hands-on construction and stewardship. Designing spaces that support learning, silence, and community. Learning by building something that will serve for generations.
02
Supporting ASP1 students
Living in service and leadership with young students (Ayurvedic Studies Program). Mentoring, guiding, and holding the culture. Developing responsibility, communication, and relational wisdom.
03
Creating the future of Beyond U
Producing the courses, media, and resources that will shape the program. Filming, writing, designing, and innovating together. Leaving a legacy that reaches beyond our time.
AT A GLANCE
The essentials, plainly.
