Engage or Recharge…
These weekly sessions (facilitated by Peter Whitfield) let you get together with like minded people, who want to engage or recharge their interest in the practical benefits of studying and practising philosophy.
They offer a practical means to discover fully who we are, understand how to relate to the world we live in and see what gets in the way of being happy, peaceful and free.
Attendees are invited to see life as a place to test the words of the wise through practical and mindful exercises.
Peter Whitfield has been teaching the introductory courses in Philosophy for over 30 years. His love of great stories and belief in an eternal wisdom that provides practical help to live life fully, truly and happily has helped thousands of students.
The Introductory Philosophy course has transformed so many lives and the Philosophy Café is an opportunity for anyone, current students, past students, family or friends to come along and be inspired.
With Peter’s facilitation, the Friday night Philosophy café promises to be a new, flourishing event. Come along, be a participant and Find Yourself, in good company.

We will use the four principles of platonic dialogue.
Platonic dialogue
- Truth is the goal
- Be willing to be refuted
- Listen with full attention; give space to the other person, don’t monopolize the stage – everyone’s voice is important
- Ask questions
