We're a school of practical philosophy and mantra-based meditation with hundreds of satisfied former and current students from the past 50 years.

Route One: Eight Tuesdays that could change your life

Do you ever get the feeling life may be passing you by, without really understanding what it's all about? Philosophy doesn't give you the answers but it can help you search in useful directions and maybe find some along the way.

Our next course: Philosophy Made Practical

Philosophy Made Practical is a great way to begin your journey and explore life's big questions in a fun and accessible way.

Our tutors share their love for timeless wisdom from both East and West, guiding your group through various topics. They encourage you to challenge your own ideas and take a fresh look at what's actually there - both around you and within you.

You test out the ideas in practice in your everyday life.

This course of eight weekly sessions is the perfect introduction to the potentially life-changing principles, practices and insights of practical philosophy.
