The New Human University

What The New Human University does

The New Human University (NHU) is a privately held educational institution headquartered in Chicago, Illinois that delivers one-year transformative programming centered on activating what it terms "inner organic technology" within adult learners. Its core product, PraxisAletheia, is a structured 12-month Mystery School program combining Source Code Meditation, the 9 Summits of Transformation framework, weekly cohort Zoom calls, QEEG brain assessments, and a required in-person week in Chicago. Students first encounter NHU through a free 90-minute webinar, apply, are screened at roughly 12% acceptance, and complete an interview with Director of Education Dr. Steven Giron before enrollment. NHU also licenses two proprietary techniques, Higher Brain Living and Source Code Meditation, through a global network of NHU-certified facilitators who deliver sessions independently.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: standalone PraxisAletheia enrollment (annual subscription with limited-time discounts), accredited Master of Arts and PhD degrees in Source Code Alchemy: Theory and Practice priced at $35,600 and $56,200 respectively (combined MA+PhD bundled at $84,900), delivered in partnership with Ubiquity University, and certification/licensing revenue from a distributed facilitator network. The customer base is fragmented across individual consumer segments—primarily consciousness-seeking adults aged 25+ dissatisfied with conventional personal development—supplemented by a smaller cohort of graduate-degree students and aspiring practitioners pursuing certification careers.

The company differentiates on a tightly integrated methodology stack (Integral Metatheory framework, Source Code Meditation, 9 Summits, Higher Brain Living) backed by peer-reviewed EEG and developmental research, including a published R=0.808 correlation between Inner Organic Technology and Mystical Experience and statistically significant MAP (Maturity Assessment Profile) growth (N=30, p<0.001). The operating model is founder-led (Dr. Michael Cotton), lean in headcount (three named team members), and supported through a webinar-driven sales funnel, a regional retreat calendar (e.g., Miami Love & Liberation), and academic positioning via SalutoGenesis research partnerships with IUHPE, STARS, and the University of Zurich Center of SalutoGenesis.
