The 5-day Residential Course
What You Will Learn
We can spend so much time frantically chasing and looking for answers outside ourselves, finding very little lasting satisfaction. Instead this course gives you a toolkit and processes for discovering the real Wisdom Within yourself so that you can live wisely with justice, purpose and direction everyday.
The Light of Reason & Transformation
- Simple practices
- Discussion
- Exploration
- Practical Process
What is reason? How can it enrich and transform our lives? How to develop the faculty of reason in decision-making, action and truth. What gets in the way? A 2400 year old practical process to put to the test.
Unity in Diversity
- Simple practices
- Discussion
- Exploration
- Practical Process
In a world of multiplicity and diversity what connects us? How does wisdom help us see and understand what it is that connects us? Practical Philosophy for discovering the truth of things, not theoretically, but in your own direct experience.
Inspiration
The content of this course is inspired and drawn from a full and complete version of the 10 week practical philosophy course called Wisdom (as delivered by the School of Philosophy) but expanded into a fully immersive, transformational direct experience of what it means (in practice) to access the Wisdom Within and to live wisely. As such this immersive residential course is open to all, no previous experience needed.
