The Wisdom Within - 10 week course (Hawthorn - Tuesday Evenings)
Melbourne School of Philosophy presents ’The Wisdom Within’ - a 10 week course held onsite at our Hawthorn campus (45 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn), starting at 7pm on Tuesday 17th September 2024.
‘The Wisdom Within’ introduces you to some of the great philosophical teachings from around the globe and allows participants to look at life and its meaning, the world and its causes. It asks what holds us back?
What sets us free? and importantly invites students to see life as a place to test the words of the wise. Are they applicable now, centuries later? As companions on this exploration, we have concepts and ideas put forward by some of the greatest minds; Socrates, Plato, Confucius, Buddha, Epicurus, Emerson, Vivekananda and a modern exponent of the philosophy of Unity, Shantananda Saraswati.
’The Wisdom Within’ course also explores ways of bringing humanity’s great philosophical insights into our everyday lives, placing the emphasis on learning from our own experience, that most powerful of teachers. It poses the question Who am I? and gives practical ways to explore the answer.
Themes explored in the 10-week practical course include:
• The nature of wisdom
• Self-discovery and self-knowledge
• Different levels of awareness and wakefulness
• The power of mindfulness and the present moment
• What it means to live justly
• The nature of energy and how to best use energy
• The light of reason and the nature of beauty
• Finding unity in diversity
There is no attempt to cover all philosophical systems, but there is plenty of opportunity for anyone interested to engage in lively discussion of the big questions of life and the world around us. Previous students have discovered a more mindful presence and effective action in work, study and every aspect of daily life.
