New Wisdom University integrates ancient spiritual wisdom with scientific techniques for personal and planetary transformation.
Our staff in our Chicago location are soooooo ready for Spring! We welcome you to our Spring Quarter with a focus on Light, the Sun, and a life lived free of dangerous chemicals. We started our quarter with a four-week course that is really a meditation on the Sun. Our Sun Yoga course teaches us how to use the sun's rays in a safe way to enhance the health of our body, mind and spirit. It is certified by the Sungazing expert HRM, a native of India whom science has been watching for about 12 years to verify the results of his practice. HRM has lived for over 11 years nearly without food, proving that "Love—and the Sun—is all you need!"
We are very grateful to have a new instructor this quarter. Deb Villarese has spent the last 27 years of her life learning how to return to a life of purity in all aspects physical. She comes to teach us about the hundreds of chemicals the US government has permitted to be added to the food we eat, both processed and raw, and that influences us in our homes, offices and environment through our air and water. Welcome to New Wisdom University, Deb!
Dawn Covington, Ed.D. will join with the Pure Joy Club to teach more about the violet light that has the power to transform our past karma as well as our daily lives into joy—Pure Joy!

Chemicals That Make You Fat: The Medical Evidence Instructor: Deb Villarese, Representative of the "Get Clean" movement featured on Oprah, with Dawn Covington, Ed.D. of New Wisdom University Dates: May 22 and 29
What is making us fat and sick? Could it be the toxic brew that we live in 24 hours a day?
According to author Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, an expert in human metabolism, “The environmental toxins present in food, water, air, packaging, cosmetics and household products enter our bodies as ‘Chemical Calories’ that can inhibit weight loss and actually make us fatter. Chemical Calories damage the metabolic and appetite-regulating systems that compose the body’s slimming system, a vast network of important functions that maintain and control proper weight.”
Baillie-Hamilton invites us to learn how to reduce our consumption of chemicals, processed foods and get back to a more normal state of health. But many of us don’t understand how we are affected negatively by things that have been a part of our lifestyle since we were born, and that we hold as highly valuable. For instance:
––How could strawberries be more fattening than avocados?
––How could raisins be dangerous in a child’s lunch box?
––What are you wearing 24 hours a day that is a carcinogen?
This two-session course will examine the relationship between the millions of chemical compounds in our environment and our health. Our instructor, Deb Villarese, who has been studying the burden of toxins in our environment for 27 years, will guide us through the history of the introduction of chemicals into our environment after the war and how these have changed forever the ways our bodies have had to adapt to accommodate toxins in our food, our air, our water and our ecosystem that were never a part of the plan for our evolution.
Textbook:The Body Restoration Plan: Eliminate Chemical Calories and Repair Your Body’s Natural Slimming System, by Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
Readings for this course will be from this text, which proposes that Americans are experiencing an epidemic of obesity because of the chemicals present in our environment.

Sun Yoga for Body, Mind and Soul Instructor: Wayne Purdin, author of The SOLution: Laying the Foundation for a Solar Civilization and editor of "The Sun Gazette," an e-newsletter for sungazers
Back by popular demand, our Sun Yoga is being redesigned so that you may study the materials on your own while having access to the Instructor, Wayne Purdin, at any time via email. Register for this course in "Registration and Bookstore." Look for "Learning Programs" and then find the title for this course. For more information about this new format, contact our Registrar at 630/303-4234.
Sun Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years and is at the heart of every religion and the foundation of every civilization. Today Sun Yoga is rising in popularity in the form of sungazing. Science has proven that some Sun Yoga practitioners can live for months or even years without eating food, and that tremendous healing light is given by our physical sun and the cosmic light rays it emits. Mental, emotional, spiritual and physical improvements have become common among those who take up Sun Yoga.
In this course you will learn
––The biochemistry behind sungazing and sunbathing and their physical, mental and spiritual benefits
––How to practice safely and effectively
––The history of Sun Yoga from ancient Egypt to the present
––Advanced techniques and practices
Join instructor Wayne Purdin as we explore the lost mysteries of the sun that have been part of every secret teaching, from the Order of the Rose Cross to Thutmose III to Pythagoras' ancient school at Crotona to the esoteric teachings of modern masters such as Hira Ratan Manek (called HRM), the Indian mystic now visiting the US whom scientists have acknowledged to have been living predominantly on sun-energy for over twelve years. Wayne's mission is intimately connected with the work of HRM and thus he is authorized to share HRM's teachings and scientific findings with us in this class.
Here is a testimony from a practitioner of Sun Yoga:
"I, like my father, suffered from mental depression for many years. I remember being depressed as early as seven and having suicidal thoughts as a teenager. I struggled all of my life with this mental illness. After spending twenty-five years moving around the country, searching for a way to be happy, I was drawn to the sandy beaches of Southern California. It was only there, for the first time in my life, that the fog of depression began to lift as I walked barefoot on the sand for miles every day, and watched the sunset each evening as much as possible. Slowly, I began to rebuild my life.
"Then, two and a half years later, I met a man who would forever change my life by teaching me the ancient practice of sungazing. Through this simple, effortless practice, I have become mentally, physically, and spiritually balanced and whole."
"The more my brain awakens, and the more my true Self emerges, the less I 'need,' in this world. I find that the less I need, the less I 'have to do' or 'be' anything, except exactly what I am being at any given moment. Sometimes it pleasantly hits me how free I am. . . . I'm becoming more and more free, and thus many needs are falling away from me like leaves dropping off of a tree."
Tuition for Sun Yoga is $55
What's So Special About the Color Purple? Using the Violet Flame for Alchemical Change Instructor: Dawn Covington, Ed.D. with the Pure Joy Club. Dawn is co-author of Healing Our Planet, Healing Ourselves and Founder and President of New Wisdom Univesity
Discover how revolutionary quantum technology can change your life!
Learn how to transform yourself through the scientific application of the Pure Joy Violet Flame.
At New Wisdom University our core teaching is this understanding about how we can literally change every aspect of ourselves—even our subconscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings that we don't want acting in our world—into the positive type of energy we really want in our lives. Dawn has been studying and teaching about the benefits of the violet light for decades. And now she offers a new system of training for using the violet energy that will show us how we can literally ERASE OUR KARMA AND SEND US INTO BLISS EVERY DAY.
Our class on the violet flame is all about helping us to realize how easy it is to work with spiritual light and how effective the violet light can be in cleaning up the messes in our lives, in healing us, accelerating our joy levels, and helping us to transform both our past and the inner and outer environment where we live today.
We will be learning the nature of the violet flame, how it works, and techniques for using it for our own meditation and for projecting its beneficial effects to solve the problems in our world.
We'll also learn to work with angels. Angels love to work with the violet light, so count on them to participate in your violet flame practice. The nature spirits love to frolic with the violet flame too. And did you know that children and pets love to hear the violet flame mantras?
