Philosophy Works!

Explore life’s questions and discover lasting happiness.

The lively inquiry-based conversations will provide tools and techniques to help you experience joy and freedom while feeling more present and connected to those around you. You will learn about the benefits and practice of mantra-based meditation, and upon completion, we invite you to our meditation course.

What Students are Saying

Students at The School of Practical Philosophy & Meditation talk about what makes the work done at the School practical rather than theoretical.

“What I have learned here is not theoretical. We discuss going through our daily lives and applying new skills and ways of experiencing things that allow me to cultivate more insight, happiness, and calmness.”
