"A few years ago I felt as if my life was just a mess of deadlines, commitments and daily decision-making. It took the sudden loss of a loved-one to show me the fragility of our existence and the crime of not enjoying it to the full. "Now, once a week, I indulge in the luxury of parking all of that mental clutter on one side for a few hours, and discussing with people who are on a similar journey, elements of the Bigger Picture, such as wisdom, truth, reason and beauty - the very things that give our lives its real quality and richness. "Most importantly, by participating in the course, I have learned how to allow that quality and richness into everyday activity. Learning what some of history's great thinkers believed, and hearing how their philosophies are routinely translated into daily experience, has shown me how to think more creatively, achieve a better work-life balance and tap into resources I never even knew I had."

"Philosophy class is the best 2 1/2 hours of my week, in the peaceful company of like minded people looking for answers for questions of life, hoping to realise the truth."

"A fascinating and enlightening still point and time of reflection amidst a week of hassle and noise."
