Educational charity

As the School of Philosophy Midlands is a registered Educational Charity (not-for-profit) and all tutors, assistants, admin, maintenance and refreshment teams are all volunteers from in and around Birmingham, the school still has overheads it has to pay such as rent, electric, advertising, phone, rates, etc.

To help towards us continuing and being able to pay for the up-keep of the school we are happy to receive any and all donations, no matter how small or large.

How it works on our educational courses

A tutor presents material, and leads a discussion based on what arises. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge. 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.

Frequently asked questions about our courses

What does ‘Practical Philosophy’ mean?

The course is practical in the sense that it is designed to be of direct use in our everyday lives. The intention is to stimulate enquiry and through this expand the way we look at the world and ourselves.

How do I register for the course?

Online or by calling 0121 330 1878.

If you register online, you will receive a confirmation email with your day of attendance. If you register by any means other than online, you will receive a receipt confirming your registration.

Can I attend a local face-to-face course?

Yes, we have a local Birmingham venue where you can attend the course face-to-face. We also have other venues across the UK.

Do I need previous experience?

No, all you need is an open and enquiring mind. The course is intended for everyone, regardless of education, occupation, race, political or religious belief.

Are the face-to-face courses Covid-19 safe?

Face-to-face meetings will be held safely following all COVID-19 guidelines for your complete peace of mind.

The present moment

“This course ‘woke me up’, particularly to the present moment. Learning to use the ‘full stop’ between daily events and pausing, rather than everything running in to one continuum”

Very practical

“I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has been very practical and has given me lots of tools and exercises to use in my daily life. Coming back each week and feeding back to the group has reinforced what I have learned and given me extra pointers”.
