California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) – Women’s Spirituality Program: “Our PhD degree in Philosophy and Religion with a Concentration in Women’s Spirituality is a rigorous trans-disciplinary program that prepares students to become thought-leaders and change-makers.

Our program explores varied spiritual, ecological, and political perspectives rooted in care for the Earth, each other, and the Sacred.”
