2026 International Convention

Welcome to the 2026 International Convention and Formal Cap-and-Gown Graduation Celebrating 67 Years of Metaphysical Studies & Higher Consciousness Education

The board of directors and staff of the International Metaphysical Ministry and its educational divisions, the University of Metaphysics and the University of Sedona, look forward to welcoming you to our 2026 convention in the spiritual energies of Sedona, Arizona.

From our gala opening-evening dinner and opening-night ceremonies to every day of the convention, we look forward to sharing life-improving, transformative instruction from this year’s speakers.

We also look forward to the formal cap-and-gown graduation ceremony starting at 10:00 am on Thursday, September 17, and honoring our graduates as they walk across to receive their diplomas. All participating graduates must attend the graduation dress rehearsal starting at 10:00 am on Wednesday, September 16.

We are live-streaming the whole event for the first time, which will give the world an opportunity to see the depth and caliber of our graduates and the difference they are making individually and collectively. You can still sign up for the livestream for $99 to access the full event. You will receive a link and password that you can also share with friends and family. 

We are especially grateful to our attendees for their presence and contributions during this special event, and for the opportunity to join staff, classmates, friends, and family as we gather with the intention of inspiring and uplifting each other and humanity, and raising the levels of consciousness around the world.
