Graduates of the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program take their new way of being in the world to a variety of professions. Some return to their careers in law, medicine, public interest organizations, psychotherapy, religion, or business with a radically expanded orientation and help create new ways of approaching their fields. Some use their knowledge in the field of education, facilitating a transformation of consciousness and practice in their students. Others effect change through their work as writers, consultants, or activists. Among the alumni are:
