Friday 31st October to Sunday 2nd November 2025 - Waterperry House, Oxfordshire

Join us for a refreshing and inspiring weekend retreat at the beautiful Waterperry House and Gardens in the Oxfordshire countryside. Held twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, these popular weekends offer a valuable opportunity to step back from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the essence of philosophical living.

The focus of the retreat is the conscious practice of quietening the mind—to enjoy life more fully, more presently, and in the uplifting company of like-minded people. Through mindful attention and working with the senses, we allow whatever is before us to become our teacher.

The retreat is suitable for both newcomers and returning students. Limited places are available. Rooted in the principles explored in philosophy classes, the weekend offers a practical and contemplative space to:

Cultivate a deeper peace of mind
Engage in hands-on sessions that embody key philosophical ideas
Pause regularly between activities to restore awareness and presence
Participate in guided study sessions with fellow students
Meet and connect with others committed to living philosophically
Explore harmony within oneself and with the world around

Optional activities may include:

Calligraphy to quieten and focus the mind
Sacred geometry
Mindfulness practice sessions
Bread making
Drawing on the right side of the brain
Singing
Contributing to the care of the house in a spirit of service

The house is managed by the School where all activities such as preparing meals and house cleaning are carried out by the students and tutors.
