An opportunity to consider philosophical ideas and questions of real relevance
to all our lives. The kind of conversations we'd like to have but, in a busy world, seldom do.

The emphasis is on learning from the most powerful of teachers: our own experience. The only requirements are an interest in the subject and an open mind.

The course is offered at locations throughout much of Great Britain. Starting dates, evenings and times vary according to location.

This course is for anyone who’s asked themselves ‘What am I doing here?’, who wants to expand their world, their thinking, and the view they have of themselves.

Discussions are underpinned by the philosophy of unity, or Advaita, a universal, non-denominational teaching literally meaning ‘not two’. This is Eastern in origin, but of universal application because it points to the unity underlying all things.

The course is broad in scope, and is intended to be of real practical use in its own right. There are further opportunities available for anyone who subsequently wishes to deepen their studies.

The approach is practical rather than academic. There are no exams to pass. No sitting at desks. The course does not offer certificates or other qualifications, but something much more important – a living philosophy that is of real value in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and developing our own potential as fully as possible.


The pressing demands of earning a living and other commitments can make it seem as if there’s no space for anything or anyone else.

Practical philosophy shows that, despite appearances, space and freedom are always available, and can be found. Then the view enlarges, both of ourselves and of the world in which we live.

By experiencing this bigger picture, things change. Life becomes more fulfilling and happier. Its challenges remain, but they are seen and dealt with in a clearer, more effective way.
