USM is life-changing, experiential work. It is, by far, one of the greatest gifts I could ever have given myself. The processing I learned to do while at the University (10 years ago!) continues to help me grow,and to authentically give back. Imagine a world where each of us clearly remembered what we were meant to bring to the world - our divine purpose. What if we were easily and naturally practicing our brilliance, our joy, our authenticity, our own unique form of Spirit Embodied, as a way of life? That mindset, that commitment, is what I personally learned from the University of Santa Monica, and what I continue to integrate in my everyday life experience.
There aren't enough good things I could say about the University of Santa Monica. The work that they do there is unimaginably important and my experience there has been life-changing beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The faculty are incredible, professional, and I always felt taken care of. I love USM and believe that it is a movement that anyone would be lucky to experience.
What would your life look like if you could take all the unresolved issues and other barriers that are keeping you from being the best version you could be? This was the basic question that I was asked by a dear friend who was attending USM at the time. Needless to say I signed up within weeks of that conversation and to this day, continue to be awed by the divine timing of her words. What I do in life is not as important to share here as is who I am inside while I am doing it...I use my USM education every day probably in more ways than I even realize. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!
Attending USM was one of the best and most powerful experiences of my life so far. My life changed in ways I never could have imagined when I first heard about it and decided to enroll. Before USM, my marriage and life was stagnant and my zest for life was absent after years of neglecting caring for myself and putting everyone and everything else first. After USM, my marriage is closer than ever and we are in a very peaceful place as a family overall (even with teenagers in the house:). I found my calling and started a new career that I love as a coach helping others uplift their lives. I now experience joy, aliveness and fulfillment in my life on a regular basis and when I don't, I have the powerful tools to assist me in returning to my sense of joy and aliveness rather than wallowing away and wasting my time in anything less than that. The work I did on myself and tools I learned at USM profoundly impact me, my family and everyone I come into contact with each and every day of my life just because of who I now show up as; a peaceful, vibrant, powerful, loving and beautiful woman who knows who she truly is. I am forever grateful to Ron and Mary Hulnick for following their calling and creating this institution and for me for saying, 'Yes!' to mySelf and giving myself this gift.
Before USM I was living my life according to what others wanted of me...parents, co-workers, spouse, etc. It was chaotic with wild emotional swings inside of me and my outside life was similar with hectic schedules, people and commitments I really did not want to do. In essence: I was abandoning mySelf to the world around me and felt I had no personal power. While attending USM, my greatest learning became my awareness of the "core" of who I Am and with what I wanted to fill my life. In essence: I became very grounded, slowed my life down to simple pleasures. Emotions became keys to awareness and change. After USM I live a designed life and share with others the satisfactions, beauty and fun that comes from my ability to make choices for life, love and satisfaction. If you are considering attending, I highly encourage you, yes you. It's one thing to say "It changed my life for the best." It's another thing to live it! Go for it!
I did USM's 2-Year Master of Spiritual Psychology Program. It changed my way of relating to myself, from a victim to a fully empowered woman. This is a huge transformation for me, and it's had amazing effects in my life. I've had more success co-creating a wonderful career and am opening to relationship in new ways. Most importantly, it's opened a space inside of me to experience my own loving and forgiveness. For this and so much more, I am eternally grateful.
Attending USM is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The program taught me personal skills that have served my career, my relationships, and personal growth -- all that will last me a lifetime. I highly recommend this program wholeheartedly for those who feel called to take it.
At USM I discovered a career in psychotherapy and went on to become a licensed clinician. I saved my marriage which was then in tatters, and now is thriving. I developed a range of communication skills that has led to public speaking opportunities, publishing a book, and being asked to give trainings in multiple work settings. Whether I am working with people experiencing severe psychosis on a locked in-patient unit, coaching highly-skilled leaders in advanced relationship building, or working in multiple states in private practice, my core USM education continues to add value, joy, and a sense of fulfillment every day of my life.
Getting my Graduate education at University Of Santa Monica was one of the most important decisions I've ever made. What a gift to graduate after 2 years study at USM only to discover it changed my entire life! Many years later I still am experiencing using the practices and principles USM taught me, snd am more productive, more loving, and I'm able to give much more back to the many communities I belong to with a greater depth of focus. At a time when many in our world are taking, there couldn't be a more important time to learn how to give back and flourish in our own lives, simultaneously.
This education, i have to say, even if it is cliche ~ is priceless.
I took my first USM class in 1988 and have never looked back. I was in my late 20's lost in a busy professional life in NYC that felt nothing like the life I had planned. It was a pivotal point in my life, opening me to a new sense of what was possible and opening my heart to be a powerful, kind, loving and fulfilled person. The sense of purpose and the freedom I got with my degree far exceeded the expectations I had for a graduate education.
One day I woke up and realized that through practicing the principles and practices of this program I was living the life of my dreams!
I have been back many times over the last 20 years, and to volunteer and take other programs (I am back again this year) that have all continued to enrich my life.

Spectacular, life changing, and practical education! Everything you learn at USM will help you in your life, and help you to help others in a much better way. Best possible educational experience. Excellent faculty and staff.
USM has saved my life. I no longer face the day with doom and gloom. I am able to face the day with grace. Anger is shedd. I have joy in my waking hours and throughout the day. The tools that USM provides reside in me now and life is great. Alex Textor
This organization changed my life. I discovered my gifts and learned to live authentically. Attending USM was the best thing my husband and I did before having our three children.
USM has been the most impactful organization of my life. They operate with the highest level of integrity and a commitment to excellence. I encourage all who feel called to both attend their programs and to support this organization's success financially.
USM has been life changing for me. The principles and practices that are taught have been so amazing and effective. I am very grateful for the teachers Ron and Mary Hulnick, as they truly are masters in their craft. I would recommend this program to anyone. Not only will your life change for the better, it will then have such a positive effect on those around you as you become more and more the Authentic Being you were meant to be on this planet.
The program offered by USM is life changing. USM is making a positive change in the universe one person at a time and the ripple effect of that contribution is healing our planet. I am privileged to be a graduate of the Spiritual Psychology program (2002) with an emphasis in Consciousness, Health & Healing (2004) and am thriving in my life in great part because I practice the skills and tools that I've learned at USM. I share these skills and tools with my family, friends and clients and rejoice in witnessing their lives improve exponentially. Immense gratitude to Ron & Mary Hulnick and everyone involved in the creation and sustainment of USM!
Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick, Co-Directors and Founding Faculty at the University of Santa Monica created the impeccable programs in Spiritual Psychology and Consciousness, Health and Healing. I thank them both for modeling for me what it means to reside in an unconditionally loving consciousness. They also drew the divine being out from within me and taught me to use everything for my learning, growth and upliftment. Their sweetness, strength of heart and devotion to serving Spirit changed my life, making it better, way better and a whole lot more gorgeous, too.
The University of Santa Monica has profoundly changed my life in many ways.
Their program in Spiritual Psychology assisted me (and so many others) in looking deeply at myself, both inwardly and outwardly. By utilizing the skills, practices and principles they teach, I was able to let go of patterns that didn't serve me and cultivate ones that work for me and for those around me.
Over the years since I graduated, I've used what I learned at the University of Santa Monica to improve my relationships, make lifestyle improvements, and grow my businesses while making them more conscious, soul-centered and sustainable.
