Continuation Courses

For those wishing to continue with the exploration of practical philosophy, further courses are offered by the School of Philosophy, which serve to expand and deepen students’ appreciation of the search for wisdom. Practical philosophy, indeed, is not so much a subject of study as a way of life, and thus these courses provide the opportunity for ongoing exploration. There are many students around the world who have been attending the School’s courses for several decades!

The Continuation Courses are a follow-on from our Introductory Course and we explore other great themes as detailed in the Topics section below. Structured similarly, they consists of one session per week for 10 weeks, each session lasting 2 ½ hours, including a break for refreshments. The cost is $250.00 per person (concession available), payable in full before the course commences. The only pre-requisite is the completion of our Introductory Course.

Meditation

For those who wish to take it up, the practice of Meditation is also offered to students.

The system of meditation offered by the School of Philosophy is mantra-based. Though this ancient practice originates in India, it has no religious implications or restriction to any religion, but is designed to awaken the human spirit which is not bound to any religion. Thus it serves to support and enrich the lives of all people, no matter what their background.
