Our founder, Colbey Beurin Forman PhD, is a Kabbalist and Rabbi who lived and studied in Jerusalem’s old city, a master with 40 years of training in the martial arts, and a student of Yogi Bhajan who brought Kundalini Yoga to the west. His unique experiences and learnings gave him a rare glimpse into the repeated pattern shared by various spiritual master teachers about an upcoming time of “gathering of the sparks”.

In the Hopi tradition from Native American culture, they speak of the five colors of man that are divided around the world and then, at the foretold time, come back together. More than 3000 years ago the Kabbalah also predicted of a time where the sparks of the world would reunite into a flame that would be the awakening of a new era for mankind. According to the Hebrew calendar this would occur by the year 5760 which in the Gregorian calendar, which we now use, was the year 2000 – a similar prophecy is in the Vedic tradition. According to Yogi Bhajan, the new age began on December 21, 2012. There are other closely linked yogic traditions that have set the year 2014 as the time of this collection. In biblical language it is known as the “Messianic time”.

Although there is a slight variation in the specific dates, (this could be accounted for by astrological inaccuracies and different calendars) the times are strikingly similar, coming from seemingly separate sources from around the globe.  This time is said to open a new dawn of enlightenment, awareness, and most importantly integration – leading to thriving for all people on earth.

At Beurin University, we are guided by these great universal wisdoms and spiritual teachings that are coming together only now, and are unifying from around the world to bring about a global wave of Thriving.
