Simply Be Workshop 2017
You are invited to a study day entitled:
‘Simply Be’ Workshop 2017
at Newland House, Edgbaston, Birmingham
On Sunday 19th November 2017, 9 30am to 4 00 pm
Cost £22 including vegetarian buffet lunch and all refreshments
Everyone is invited, including family and friends.
Throughout the day we will explore:
- Practice an extended version of the mindful awareness exercise.
- Look at awareness and attention.
- Study a universal holistic model of man.
- Discuss what takes us out of balance and how it may be regained.
- Activities offered to help us explore all this will be: Sounding and Calligraphy. Both demand attention, raise awareness and work on different aspects of our physical/mental/emotional being.
The aim of these workshops is to provide a useful opportunity for students, friends and family to meet together and practice with a little more focus in a conducive, friendly environment, what has been discussed to enable us to discover more fully from a practical point of view what is presented at the evening philosophy meetings. A very useful and enjoyable day for self-discovery.
The day will be conducted in the school’s usual open and relaxed manner, beginning at 9:30am and finishing at 4pm. The cost for the day is £22 which includes a vegetarian buffet lunch and all other refreshments.

How our introductory courses work
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.
Local Course
Local face-to-face evening courses available in Birmingham
Peace of Mind
Following all Health & Safety guidelines for your complete peace of mind.
Practical Wisdom
Courses in practical wisdom for everyday living. Meet with like minded individuals.
This popular course is practical rather than academic and draws on sources of wisdom from East and West, past and present.
