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.
Anyone curious about philosophy, personal growth, or practical wisdom—no prior experience needed.
Just an open mind and willingness to explore!
