Weekend and weeklong residential retreats are available for those students who wish to study and practice philosophy without the distractions of daily life. Music, art, calligraphy, economics, mathematics, Sanskrit, the education of children, the Hermetic tradition, the Renaissance and dance are explored in greater depth in informal study groups formed by interested students. Many students have been participating in Philosophy Foundation courses and retreats since it was founded in the 1970's. We welcome you to this community. Please see ' Course costs ' for up to date information.
Meditation leads to great inner clarity, peace and happiness.
With continued practice these qualities can become part of everyday experience. We teach meditation based on the Vedanta tradition, which involves two periods of meditation each day sitting quietly and listening within to the sound of a mantra. The course ' Introduction to Meditation ' includes a traditional initiation, follow up tutorials, a meditation weekend shortly thereafter, and continued care and support for meditation as long as you want it, even if you stop attending courses.
