Have you figured out the meaning of your life yet?
We're a school of philosophy, dedicated to helping people find meaning in their lives through the exploration of timeless, universal wisdom, eastern and western.
Philosophy doesn't feed you answers. It helps you to think and to ask the right questions. It points to some useful directions where your search for meaning may bear fruit.
It's when your own direct experience is gained through practice, then discussed in a group of fellow seekers, that real understanding and wisdom dawns.
Deep experience
Here in Hertfordshire, we've been running philosophy classes for adults for more than 50 years. Over 1,500 people have benefited from their experience with us.
Tuesday evening discussions that can change your life
Our next introductory course is in January 2026
Our next introductory offering - Philosophy 2: Happiness - is a great way to begin your journey and explore life's big questions in a fun and accessible way.
Lots, lots more to support your learning...
The ten interactive discussions are supported by a suite of learning materials:
- Learning modules on all the key themes, which you can study at home in your own time.
- Practice sheets to support your practice and record your observations
- Study and Practice Day at an inspiring countryside retreat - a great way to consolidate your learning
- A YouTube channel packed with great FREE content. Learn about Plato's Cave, Stoic philosophy, why study Sanskrit and the joy of Meditation. And more.
- Our popular Philosophy Cafe brings people together from all over the country on Zoom for a facilitated, themed discussion. The sessions are great fun and FREE, so no need to attend every week. If you're craving some good company, this is the perfect solution. More details here.
So much more to experience!
For students enrolled on one of our courses, we can offer support and tuition to establish a daily practice of mantra meditation. Join the thousands of others who have taken up this authentic, traditional meditation practice since we first offered it in the 1960s.
Also for our existing students, we offer a range of weekend or week-long retreats to help deepen both understanding and stillness.
