WHAT IS
PHILOSOPHY AND INNER WISDOM?
The goal of Practical Philosophy is to help us discover our inner happiness, wisdom and freedom. Practical Philosophers enjoy a clear mind, a forgiving and generous heart, and become change-makers in their communities.
Time for a shift in consciousness.

COURSE FOUNDATION
There is no attempt to cover all philosophical systems, but there is plenty for anyone interested in the big questions of life and the world around us. The course draws on the great philosophic ideas of East and West, which lead to mindful presence and effective action in work, study and every aspect of daily life.
The course includes ideas put forward by Socrates, Plato, Confucius, Buddha, Rumi and Kabir, Epicurus, Emerson, Vivekananda and Maharaja Sri Santananda Saraswati, a modern exponent of the philosophy of unity or Advaita.
Nevertheless, the emphasis is on learning from the most powerful of teachers: our own experience.
Our courses will inform you and transform you.
