Curious About Life?
So Are We.
Philosophy can give us a greater sense of perspective on life.
It can simplify, clarify and enrich our lives.Meditation reduces stress, improves sleep, mood and memory.
You don’t need to have studied philosophy before, all you need is a desire to examine life and enjoy it more fully. These are practical, tutor-led group discussions.
Classes are open to all, held in person, and also via Zoom.
