The foundation Module at the School of Practical Philosophy:

In this day and age - due largely to the sheer volume of mass communication - the complexity and pace at which we live means life has never been so stressful. We appear to be passing through life at a frantic speed.

Peace of mind in this uncertain, anxious world is only to be had through a better understanding of ourselves and thus our own relevance to it. A twelve week course is offered to this end. This not only looks at profound principles leading to a new outlook but suggests simple steps towards living a better, more meaningful and serene life whilst unlocking our full potential.

The benefits of the course are many and varied. Here are some of the things that are frequently mentioned:

"It gives the opportunity of living a life that offers true satisfaction, that transcends conflicting desires."

"It grants the means of discovering a source of creativity that allows me to meet the situation, whatever it might be, with freshness of thought and lightness of touch."

"It helped me find happiness in the everyday as well as in the exceptional."

"It lets me enter into far more honest and richer relationships; to say what I think and carry through what I intend; to give of myself open heartedly."

"It offers a way of finding a source of inner peace and certainty."

"I gained a general sense of calmness, tolerance and respect. It helps me live a more peaceful and focused life."
