One-off Sessions
This is an exciting new venture starting Easter 2026. These One-off informal sessions in the school holidays will explore any philosophical topic or question which you or others might present. No prior knowledge will be required. If you have a question or a topic you would like to discuss please send it/them to Peterr@fses.org. There will be a wide variety of interesting studies or activities to practise at each session. There may be guest speakers and we will try to make each session engaging, practical, enjoyable and hopefully enlightening. If requested we could also cover topics which students may have missed in the early parts of the course.
Experimentation & Questions
There will be an element of experimentation and we will endeavour to explore any question with an open mind, keeping it as practical and relevant as possible to life today through direct experience.
If you have questions or topics you would like to discuss, bring them along and we would be happy to explore them with the group.
Generally we would expect each session to involve three elements:
1) Study of some aspect of philosophy from East or West possibly great philosophers like Plato, Socrates, Shankara, Lao Tsu, Dalai Lama, as well as Sri Shantananda Sarasvati and other teachers from the great seats of Vedantic wisdom in India. We will make sure it is appropriate for those who attend and will always welcome and respond to questions.
2) Practice a philosophical exercise and share our experiences.
3) Enjoy tea and coffee and good company in the Hub Cafe.
It takes place during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays on Tuesdays 2.15-4.30pm at The Hampton Inspired Hub, 3 Ashley Rd, TW12 2JA. (Conference Room) and the next sessions will be around Easter on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th April 2026.

Past students might like this opportunity to reconnect and join us even if only for one session, and newcomers are of course very welcome. Just turn up on the day or book a place in advance. We recommend you join our WhatsApp group to keep up to date on the weekly holiday sessions.
We will always endeavour to find fresh ways to energise and inspire the practical work of philosophy for all our students as well as those from all UK Branches of the School and everyone is welcome whether you study regularly with our school or not.
