Live your best life

This 10-week course in practical philosophy explores the true inner nature of the human being. Sessions are filled with lively discussion and there are no exams to pass.

Ideas, inspiration and material are drawn from the great philosophical traditions of East and West to help participants develop inner calm and peace of mind, discover greater freedom and happiness, and realise their true potential.

The course is interactive, non-academic, and practices learned are immediately applicable to daily life (see week-by-week breakdown of course content).

Courses are offered live in-person at the School’s premises, but are also offered online in certain languages (see latest course options).

Following this introductory course, there is the possibility to pursue topics in further depth in subsequent terms, including the opportunity to be introduced to meditation.
