Life can be seen as a journey. When we are feeling strong and clear-minded it is an adventure. The inner journey of understanding and feeling gives direction to the outer journey and makes it magnificent.
Practical Philosophy and Meditation helps us to find our direction in life.
This popular course is practical rather than academic and draws on sources of wisdom from East and West, past and present.
Philosophy aims to set you free. Free from pressures and worries, free from limiting ways of thinking, free to grow and be yourself.
Take your first steps to freedom with our 10 week course.

How our introductory courses work
- A tutor presents philosophical ideas, and leads a discussion based on what arises in the group.
- Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge and experience.
- Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.

Frequently asked questions
The course is practical in the sense that it takes philosophical ideas and shows how they can be of direct use in our everyday lives. The intention is to stimulate enquiry and through this expand the way we look at the world and ourselves.
