Wisdom for Today – a five week evening course in practical philosophy, 2nd May 2012 to 30th May 2012, 19:30 to 21:45 at Jubilee Centre, St Albans (20.2 miles)
Who said modern living was easy? We live life in the fast lane. We expect to be successful, happy, fulfilled. And we want it now.
Wisdom lies in understanding that true happiness comes from within. That compassion for others comes from understanding oneself. And that life can only truly be enjoyed in the present moment.
Wisdom itself is timeless. And never more relevant than today.
An evening course in practical, timeless wisdom.
Starts: Wednesday 2nd May 2012, 7.25-9.45pm Location: Jubilee Centre, Catherine Street, St Albans, AL3 5BU
Visit: www.PhilosophyInStAlbans.org
Enquiries and enrolments: philosophy.course@ntlworld.com Phone: 01727 867645
Course fees: £50 for the five week evening course
Taking a practical, rather than academic approach, the course aims to equip you with some simple practices that help you to develop greater stillness and concentration and to look more deeply. No previous experience needed - just an open mind and a willingness to try out, during the following week, the simple practices given in each class and to share what you've discovered with the group.
The School of Economic Science has been running Practical Philosophy courses in Hertfordshire for over thirty years. Hundreds of people from across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond have enjoyed and benefited from these classes. We look forward to welcoming you.
