DESCRIPTION | The 'Science of Life based upon Practical Philosophy' is a two-year course and two levels are run concurrently.
So what is it that we do in SOL? It is a thought-provoking course - Sometimes working through old and new scientific ideas, together with many ancient and new philosophies, this group looks in detail at many interesting topics about the life we all live. In doing so, with an open mind, we learn at times to “Think outside of the Box” and consider everyday things from a different angle or perspective, all with the aim of understanding ourselves better in order to bring joy, happiness and greater meaning to life. This is the prime goal of the Science of Life group. Below is a list of the many thought provoking subjects covered over a two-year period:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION | Sue has been studying all aspects of this subject since 1987 and because the very practical ideas conveyed in the sessions have brought greater meaning to her life, she would like to pass on this valuable knowledge to encourage others to live life to the full. It is hoped that everyone taking part will enjoy learning about what makes human beings as they are, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Do your very best to practice at all times living your life "in" the present moment, not re-living the past or trying to live in the future in your head with your 'chatter box'; this practice has the potential to bring an abundance of joy and happiness to even the most troubled soul. 'Mindfullness' is a current 'buzz word' of our century and tells us very simply that we should tackle all activities in our lives with 100% 'full attention' and this alone can be a huge factor in keeping stress to the minimum and helps to combat depression. Try it? Gratitude A life lived being forever "grateful" for what you already have makes for a contented and joyful heart. And in order to have a contented heart you also need to learn to be grateful for flawed people and imperfect gifts. They can teach us so much about ourselves. Above all, be grateful for the parts of your body that do still work and move around - even if they might require a little aid! |
