Ongoing Courses

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!

Information about the next courses to be offered in term 3, 2024 (commencing in September) is available below.

Eligibility criteria may apply to ongoing courses and students transferring from other locations or returning from a break in attendance are invited to contact us before enrolling.

Emotional Freedom

We all experience emotions; these may change from moment to moment throughout the day. By and large all the circumstances we encounter both internally and externally lead to an emotional response.The emotions we experience have a significant effect on our experience of life. Indeed, in many ways they create our lives. Therefore, it is well worth enquiring as fully as we can into this. We will consider emotions which are more likely to be freeing and liberating and contrast with those which are more likely to be binding.

Prerequisite: completion of the Freedom in Action course.

Introduction to Plato – The Apology

We have met Plato in a number of previous courses. This term we take a close look at one of his complete dialogues, The Apology. The Apology is a record of Socrates’ speech at his trial, where he explains his pursuit of philosophy.

The Tenfold Dharma

This term we look at the tenfold Dharma as described by the ancient Indian law-giver called Manu. Patience, forgiveness, self-control, not stealing, purification, mastery over sensory organs, spiritual intellect, spiritual knowledge, truth and lack of anger are the ten aspects of law. We will examine each of these and how they can be practically applied in life to lead to freedom.
