Free Public Talk by Donna Raftery, Sunday 22 March 2025; 2.00 – 3.30 p.m. Topic: Exploring Right Use of Mind

How do we determine what is the right use of mind? What lies beyond the incessant chatter of thought waves and can we experience this? Is it our nature or habit?
 
Reclaiming headspace…
 
This is prime space – how much of it do we truly own? How much are we influenced by what we hear? What we see? Are the thoughts our own and where do they come from? Are they always useful? Can we cultivate peace of mind?
 
During the talk we will explore the wisdom tradition and modern sources to determine what the mind is really for and how we can better understand the function, faculty and power of the whole system within.

The event runs from 2.00 – 3.30 p.m. at the English Language Centre, Salisbury Road, Hove BN3 2GB. All are welcome. Contact us to reserve your place via phone on 07501324150 or by email at philosophysussex@fses.org

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.

Our popular courses are practical rather than academic and draw on sources of wisdom from East and West, past and present.
