Ph.D. in Visionary Practice and Regenerative Leadership. Accredited by Higher Learning Commission, previously regional (there's no such thing as regional "legally" anymore).
This is the first accredited "spiritual" university I've seen, that seems to draw a lot from the mythic arts and the local artist community of Santa Fe.

Almost all online. 3 residencies, 6 days, 4 days, and 4 days. All residencies in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Total cost $45,750
I live in ABQ, and I have a sense that due to the high Native-American influence here, this PhD program is very much steeped in Mysticism, Spirituality, Metaphysics and Secular Religious/ Humanistic dogma. I mean hey, if someone likes it and they get a good enrollment cohort group, then go for it. My only concern would be ROI for $45,000+ and usage after graduation. Would anyone want to utilize a person who holds a PhD in Visionary Practice and Regenerative Leadership? And would someone want Leadership based on quasi-spiritual/metaphysical approaches/solutions, rather than peer-reviewed, tested and proven, research-based competencies?
I agree. Santa Fe has a huge art culture, "hippie culture" for lack of a better word, and native culture. I lived for several years in New Mexico. The culture of that state is incredible. I do miss it considerably, part of me still yearns for New Mexico. I grew up in San Juan county, in a country house in the red cliffs near Bloomfield/Farmington by the valley between Shiprock and Aztec
