Philosophy in Action Day – 9th June 25

Working together with love and mindful attention

Sunday June 9th – from 9:30 – 16:00

St Catherines School House, 26a Portsmouth Road, Guildford GU2 4DJ

We have all heard how this school is virtually entirely run by students and not paid staff, save a few for head office admin. Looking after our lovely building, St Catherine’s, requires periodic maintenance. Everyone can do something, big or small, heavy or light. However this is work with a difference.

Working together with love and mindful attention brings energy, consciousness, and joy. So you are invited to come along and practice the Four Principles of work. Yes, the building will benefit but we also will benefit. There will be an opportunity, to work together and also to discuss how we found the work sessions philosophically. What discoveries we made about our inner attitudes. What we learn can be very useful in our everyday lives. We will also have the opportunity to meet other students outside of the weekly group meetings, make new friends and have fun and companionship.

There will be some painting, cleaning, gardening, lunch prep, window cleaning and maybe even some simple sewing. Nothing will be too difficult and help will be on hand. So please dress appropriately and come and enjoy working together.

£5 covers the cost of lunch & refreshments.

Our introductory courses

A tutor presents philosophical ideas, and leads a discussion based on what arises in the group. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge and experience. Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.

What some of our students say...

“Absolutely loving the course!!"

“Absolutely loving the course!! …Really changing how I think about things and life in general.”

“...I am benefiting greatly ..."

“...I am benefiting greatly from the content and the practical nature of it. Thank you, it is enriching my life.”

“I feel more relaxed...”

“The daily awareness exercises … have changed my thinking and I feel more relaxed about situations in the media and other aspects of my daily life.”

"...helped me..."

"The knowledge and experience that I have gained from the philosophy classes has helped me to discover more about myself and better prepare for dealing with life's daily surprises and challenges."
