Practical Philosophy & Meditation Wellington

Practical Philosophy & Meditation Wellington Practical Philosophy draws on wisdom from around the world and makes it relevant and useful. What's in it for me?

Through discussion and practical practices, it provides the opportunity to discover within ourselves that life can be led simply, purposefully and happily. The School of Philosophy offers practical courses that present the great teachings of the world in a way that is relevant to one’s daily life. Philosophy is not a lofty academic study, but is rather an immediate, relevant and practical discover

y of ourselves and the world in which we live. "How can the soul which misunderstands itself have a sure idea of other creatures?". Seneca

The basis of the approach is reasonable inquiry, and students are asked to neither accept nor reject what is discussed, but to actively seek to discover for themselves whether what is proposed is true or false. Many students find a greater sense of purpose, peace of mind, contentment and understanding of themselves and the world around them, as well as the discovery of their abilities and talents which can be used to serve others.
