After completing the Introductory and Foundation courses, you are invited to continue your adventure in practical philosophy. Further courses are offered, which serve to expand and deepen students’ appreciation of the search for wisdom.

Practical philosophy is not so much a subject of study as it is a way of life, and 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 next courses are starting the week of Monday 3rd February 2025.

Starting Monday 3^rd Feb 2025 6:30pm – Ongoing Courses Online (Zoom)

The Online Ongoing Courses are a follow-on from our Foundation Courses and we explore other great themes/concepts e.g. Āgama , Absolute, Dharma, Brahman etc which can be found in the sacred and divine teachings or scriptures in a variety of religious traditions. These courses  are profound and enriching, especially in the context of sacred and divine teachings, can provide learners with a profound connection to the spiritual wisdom that has been passed down through generations. These themes are deeply interwoven in the spiritual traditions of the world, and studying them offers a chance to explore fundamental concepts of reality, consciousness, and the divine.

These online courses consist from one session per week for 10 weeks, each session lasting 2 hours. After the first 5 weeks there will be a 2 weeks break followed by another 5 weeks. The price is $149 per person and the concession (Healthcare or Pensioner card) price is only $99.

Starting Tuesday 4^th Feb 2025 6:30pm “The Absolute”-  Ongoing Course Face-to-Face

The word ‘Absolute’ is from the Latin word soluere which means ‘to loosen’. It gives us the words ‘absolve’ and ‘absolution’. When things are ‘absolved’ or receive ‘absolution’, they are set free. This is why the word ‘absolute’ has come to mean unlimited, infinite, and complete. Combining these two meanings, the word ‘absolute’ signifies that which is unlimited, infinite and complete and that which brings freedom. We will consider the Absolute, and what might mean for each of us, using concepts we studied in past courses like the law of three, the five kośas, and the law of seven and we will hear again from Plato as well as other philosophers and poets.

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.
