#Happiness&Mindfulness

Finding what makes you happy takes time, effort, and determination. Philosophy Works is a lively 10-week course where you meet others just like you in the search for deeper meaning and true happiness in life. We learn together, drawing from the timeless wisdom of great philosophers to make sense of the world around us. We can help you get there for a small registration fee of $10. 
For those looking for a meditation practice, the School offers training in a traditional mantra-based practice that is ancient but ideal for our contemporary Western lifestyle.

Philosophy Works offers practical tools that cultivate a foundation for meditation that supports sustained happiness, regardless of success or failure. Students report significant benefits from meditating, a central offering of ongoing courses at the School of Philosophy.

So why choose Philosophy Works?

Feel less stressed and more confident at work.

Build deeper connections with your partner, family and friends.

Find your place in the world through your own happiness.

Appreciate the beauty that surrounds you every day.

Find practical solutions to your most troubling thoughts.

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.

“I imagined that Philosophy Works would be theoretical and full of “ideas” to fill an already busy mind. Pleasantly I was surprised to discover that it was the opposite – being practical and about clearing the mind of unnecessary clutter.”
