If you’re one of those people who suspects there might be more to life, our ten session course in practical philosophy could be for you.

The course uses some of the great philosophies of east and west to put life into sharper focus. It is open to all regardless of age or background.

It includes simple, potentially life-changing exercises to free people for what’s important, from what’s not.

Come to our free open evening and taster session on Tuesday 1 May to meet the tutors and students and to find out more.

Our students meet in groups, led by a tutor. The emphasis is on experience rather than theory, observation rather than opinion.

You are encouraged to test what you hear and then share what you experience. The more you practise, the more you get out of the course.

With a wider view, day-to-day life takes on a different and fresher perspective.

We look at the power of the present, how to be more yourself, happiness and its sources, wisdom and its uses, and beauty and its causes.

Subsequent terms include meditation, the differing ways of action, knowledge and devotion; and, importantly, the chance to build on the practices learnt in earlier terms.

The course is designed for those eager to make the very most of life, unfettered by the passing show, unchained by the fads of the moment.

It appeals most to those who are undaunted by the great questions of human existence. What is it for? What am I for? Where do I fit in?

Over the years, hundreds of people from across Hertfordshire and beyond have completed the introductory course in St Albans. Many have gone on to subsequent classes.

Sometimes the habits of a lifetime can take a while to go. If you’re on the look-out for a way out to a wider world, this could be it.

Should you decide the course is for you, you can enrol (by cash or cheque) at the open evening for just £80 for the course of ten evening classes - a £10 reduction on our normal price of £90.
