A 10 Week Introductory Course in
Practical, Living Philosophy
 

The Introductory Course in practical, living philosophy includes 10 classes, run over an 11 week period, allowing for a one week break in the middle of the course.

Sessions are of 2 ½ hours each and include a break for refreshment.

The course offers you 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.
