Sedona, AZ — September 2026 The University of Sedona and the University of Metaphysics will host their annual Graduation Conference Week from September 13–17, welcoming graduates, faculty, and guests from around the world. Among this year’s distinguished graduates is local award‑winning author, educator, and shamanic life coach Anke Otto‑Wolf, who will receive her Doctorate in the Philosophy of Metaphysics.
Dr. Otto‑Wolf’s work is deeply rooted in the traditions and metaphysical power of Native cultures. Her teachings honor earth‑based wisdom, relational consciousness, and the Indigenous understanding of the natural world as a living, guiding presence. Her shamanic path aligns with these ancestral perspectives, weaving them into modern metaphysical practice and emotional‑spiritual development.
During the conference week, Dr. Otto‑Wolf will deliver two presentations exploring land‑based consciousness, Indigenous metaphysics, and the restoration of inner balance through relational awareness. Her sessions will highlight how metaphysical principles can support emotional independence, resilience, and inner sovereignty for both adults and children. Both presentations will be transmitted worldwide via a dedicated livestream URL, allowing global audiences to attend the conference in real time.
Her early life in divided post‑war Germany — chronicled in her memoir My Peace of the Wall (2012) — shaped her lifelong commitment to inner freedom, resilience, and conscious self‑discovery. With a professional background in journalism, public education, and teaching‑learning development, she has spent decades helping children and adults rebuild inner stability, self‑worth, and emotional strength.
“Receiving my doctorate in metaphysics is not only an academic milestone — it is a continuation of a lifelong journey toward inner freedom, resilience, and earth‑rooted wisdom. My work honors the Indigenous understanding that the land itself is a teacher, and I am committed to helping children and adults reconnect with their inner authority before the world overrides it. Metaphysics is not abstract theory; it is lived experience, and I am grateful to share these teachings during conference week.”
Dr. Otto‑Wolf’s upcoming book, “Begin BEFORE It’s Too Late,” calls for a complete reset in modern parenting. The book emphasizes strengthening children’s inner voice and authority before the world overrides it — a preventative, empowerment‑based approach grounded in her BEFORE Framework™ and her award‑winning TOLEY RANZ® program.
