Neale Donald Walsch, best-selling author of the Conversations with God series, will speak at the University of Santa Monica (USM) 2013 Commencement ceremony on August 25, 2013 at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus.
Walsch spoke at USM’s 2005 graduation ceremonies and also wrote the forward for Loyalty to Your Soul: The Heart of Spiritual Psychology (Hay House, 2010) by H. Ronald Hulnick, Ph.D., and Mary R. Hulnick, Ph.D., who are the founding faculty and co-directors of USM.
With its focus on Spiritual Psychology and “soul-centered learning,†USM is known for inviting graduation speakers who are highly respected thought leaders in the transformational education and consciousness fields, such as Iyanla Vanzant (a 2001 USM graduate), John Bradshaw, Joan Borysenko, Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, Jean Houston, Bernie Siegel, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and David Whyte.
Walsch is considered to be a modern-day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. The Conversations with God books have been translated into 37 languages, and each has made the New York Times Bestseller list. His words have inspired dramatic transformations in the day-to-day lives of his readers, as they help to redefine God, shift spiritual paradigms, and touch millions of people around the globe.
In the 2012-13 academic year, USM offered its primary degree program, a two-year Master of Arts in Spiritual Psychology, as well as two Certificate programs: a Certificate of Completion for the two-year Spiritual Psychology curriculum and a six-month Soul-Centered Professional Coaching Certificate Program for USM graduates who want to launch or up-level their coaching practices. This coming year, the school will also offer a third year emphasis in Consciousness, Health, and Healing for those students who have already completed the two-year course of study.
