Metaphysical Degrees
I have closed down the CUA website and am putting everything onto this website, it makes admin and keeping tabs on things much easier for me. We have been offering Degree programs for over 14 years now.

There comes a time in every soul’s journey – a quiet threshold where turning back is no longer an option. Not because the path behind has disappeared, but because the one ahead has awakened something too true, too vital, to ignore.
To pause here – or retreat – would be to dim the light that has only just begun to shine. Once you reach this place, you’ll feel it in your whole being. It is the opening of higher consciousness – a deepening awareness both within and around you. A remembering of your essence. A return to your authentic self.
My path, my prayer, is to walk alongside others who are ready for this turning.
To guide – not with answers, but with presence – those who are willing to let go of who they were in order to become who they truly are.
It is freedom I serve.
– Freedom from inherited limits.
– Freedom from the silent agreements that ask us to be smaller than we are.
– Freedom to dream with purpose, to act with clarity, and to live from a place of empowered self-trust.
And in every interaction, no matter how small it may seem, my hope is to offer a spark – a shift – a gentle ripple. For I believe that even the smallest gesture, when aligned with soul, can grow into a wave of healing that touches many. And together, these waves may rise into something vast – something luminous – lifting our shared consciousness toward a greater good for all.
The Center of Universal Awakening (“CUA”) is dedicated to assisting people in becoming knowledgeable about metaphysical concepts, grow to their fullest potential and recognize their innate talents that lie within each and every one of them. CUA is here to assist others in their spiritual evolution and awakening, to share with them knowledge, experiential practice, and worthy credentials. CUA is dedicated to assisting spiritual healers and teachers, as they pursue their life purpose and life work, learn to live with integrity and grace, and teach others how to do the same. The class environment is based on empathy and compassion, as this is a space where true learning can take place, where all facades and personal defence mechanisms are dissolved.
CUA gives its students substantial academic information so that they are knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects and techniques that many spiritual seekers and healers are using in their efforts to heal themselves and others. The purpose of these studies is to assist you in becoming a radiant, steady source of love and grace through self-healing and introspection and to share these qualities as you heal and teach others.
Our mission: To raise humanity’s awareness and consciousness, which will lead to a more peaceful, considerate, accepting and loving society – to do no harm and to do right.
Our Online Campus
A Flexible and Accessible Pathway
At CUA, we have embraced a fully online approach to learning – one that honors the pace and demands of modern life. We understand that many people are juggling full lives, where traveling to attend in-person classes simply isn’t possible.
Our home study programs allow you to learn in a way that suits you – from the comfort of your own space, in your own rhythm. There are no rigid deadlines or pressured schedules. You are lovingly held in a spacious container of up to three years to complete your studies.
Please note: if no assignments are received within one year of enrolment, we’ll gently assume you have chosen to step away and will un-enrol you from the course. If you wish to return, it is as simple as reaching out – we will welcome you back and guide you from there
How Home Study Courses Work
Courses are self-paced, which means you can begin at any time. Some segments of the Metaphysics Degree and Certificate courses may take longer than others, for example, the first part, being Introduction to Metaphysics or Meditation & Visualization, may only take you one week to complete, whereas the Reiki Level 1 to Advanced may take you three months or longer. Please note that we work on a trust basis, which means that should you complete one of the segments before the end of the month and wish to move onto the next one, we will send it to you, fully trusting that you will continue to make the monthly payments and thus covering the cost of the segments you have been sent.
Although the courses are self-paced, you may not complete more than four segments per month (four full segments – segments with (a) and (b) [sub-segments], for example, are only classified as one segment, due to their brevity). This is to ensure that you are actually absorbing the course material and not merely racing through it all in order to get a qualification or to meet personal time- setting goals. Please ensure that you fully understand a segment before moving onto the next. Assignments and, in some instances, case studies, will be given for each segment. These are to be completed and returned to us for grading (unless otherwise stated). You will only be sent the next segment once your assignment/s and case studies have been handed in for the previous segment. Assignments are graded on the accuracy of your answers based on the course material. Papers will be graded within 48 hours of submission (usually faster). You will receive a certificate of completion for each course completed. There is one certificate for a package completed, not a single one for each attunement that comprises the package.
Degree Program Overview
The first part of the course kicks off with looking inside yourself and learning how to change attitudes and beliefs that no longer serve you; and how to release memories and mind-sets that are holding you back and keeping you from realizing your full potential. It is important to undergo self- healing in order to begin your path on a clean slate. This will make you feel more motivated, stable, empowered and in control of your life. To kick-start this process, we offer the Etheric Clearing Empowerments, as well as the various “flush” systems (found under the single attunement systems).
We will then assist you to establish what you want from life, discover your life’s purpose and how to create your reality, based on these answers. Your foundation will now be solid, and you will be ready to move on to learn how to heal others.
We go on to awaken the healer in you and give you practical skills and knowledge to build your healing business through our Master’s Degree. Your healing skills are then honed, and you go on to learn more advanced methods of healing. By the end of your Degree course, you will be feeling confident in your abilities and ready to start seeing clients. Your extensive and comprehensive knowledge will also give you a competitive edge.
This course balances the masculine energies of knowledge with the feminine energies of intuition and subtle energies – often people try to advance spiritually by using their only mind, by gaining knowledge (masculine energies). To use intuition and also to change things on an energetic level, however, requires feminine energies, hence the various attunements being included.
The Bachelor’s Degree program comprises 7 subjects, which are compulsory, plus 4 single attunements of your choice.
The Master’s Degree program comprises 9 more subjects of your choice. Subject categories are covered later in this Prospectus.
The Doctorate Degree consists of further subjects and single attunements, together with a research paper / thesis.
Tuition and Enrolment
Enrolment is open to anyone of good character, who is at least 18 years old, regardless of their country of residence. There are no prerequisites with regards to prior education, however, students must have a good command of the English language, as courses are currently only presented in English. CUA is one of the very few metaphysical universities that does not insist on a high school diploma as a prerequisite.
How to Enrol
Fill out the application form completely and accurately (at the end of this Prospectus) and e-mail it to us. If you would prefer a Word version of the enrolment form, please e-mail us.
Choose a payment option and make payment of the initial deposit. Please note that we accept bank transfers and debit/credit card payments (through PayPal). This means that you are able to make full payment if you wish and put it through the budget section of your credit card.
No applications will be processed without having received the initial deposit. Please allow up to 24 hours for your application to be processed (usually much faster). Once your application has been processed, we will send you a link to course material. You will not have access to the full course until all fees have been paid. Should you be paying the fees monthly, you will be allocated a number of subjects according to payments received.
Cancellations and Refunds
The course fee is non-refundable. The CUA expends considerable time and effort in organizing your coursework, not to mention the time and personal attention of your course mentor. As such, there are no tuition refunds for payments that have been made to the CUA. The one exception is for degree programs that have been paid for in full, in which case the CUA would pro-rate any refunds as outlined below. Any refunds will include a deduction of a US$300 Administrative Fee to cover associated costs, as well as the cost of the courses already emailed to you.
Withdrawal within 3 days of enrolment: full amount, less $300 Administrative Fee and cost of courses already emailed to you.
Withdrawal within one week of enrolment: 50%, less $300 Administrative Fee and cost of courses already emailed to you.
Withdrawal within two weeks of enrolment: 25%, less $300 Administrative Fee and cost of courses already emailed to you.
Withdrawal after two weeks: No Refunds
In addition, course materials and monies already paid are non-transferable to other incoming students.
Tuition Options
The tuition for each payment plan is all-inclusive; there are no additional fees (like admin fees, certificate fees, etc.). Tuition rates are locked in once a student enrols and makes the initial deposit. This rate will not be increased (or decreased) on your student account, so long as you remain an active student. Should you miss a payment, you will not be charged double at the end of the following month, but ordinary payments will resume, with the course taking longer to pay off. Should you miss more than three payments, you will be un-enrolled and, should you wish to continue with your course, you will need to contact us. To avoid missing any monthly payments, it is encouraged that you place either a monthly stop order on your account that makes an automatic monthly payment to us, or if you have access to internet banking, you can choose to pay a recurring monthly payment for “x” number of months, or to click on the PayPal “subscribe” button when ordering. Please feel free to communicate with us should you suddenly find yourself in an undesirable financial situation, as we fully understand that money does not grow on trees. Having said that, please also remember that, besides this being a commitment, this is also an investment in yourself, which means that it should be a priority for you.
