It considers:
- What holds us back?

Some of the themes we’ll cover in the Introductory course
The Wisdom Within
Philosophy means the love of wisdom. Our course is intended to show how philosophy may help us enjoy richer, less stressful and more useful lives.
Know Thyself
Who am I, really? My body? My emotions? We look at practical ways to explore who we really are and how to tap our true potential.
Living Justly
According to Plato, justice and injustice do not start ‘out there’. They begin within ourselves. We discuss the practicality of Plato’s ideas on justice in our daily lives.
The Present Moment
We review our own experience of attention through a model featuring attention centred, captured, open and scattered.
