Practical Wisdom Workshops

In this workshop we will go to the heart of philosophy by following some particularly practical philosophical paths. We will explore how philosophy can come to life and how it can come to your life, by helping you live well, everyday and every night.

You will be introduced to, or reminded of, some great practical living tools including Self Knowledge, Courage, Service, Good Company and Universal Love.
