Welcome to the School of Philosophy Trinidad

Our primary aim is to provide a systematic study and practical guidance for men and women wishing to embark on the journey towards Self-development and the growth of wisdom.

"Our Principles and Practices"

Our hope is that every student who attends the school discovers something practical and meaningful for their life. Whether they choose to stay or move on, we aspire for their experience here to leave a positive and lasting impact.

All are welcome to join the school and its studies. Students are encouraged neither to reject nor accept what is offered blindly, but to explore and experience it for themselves.

Classes offered both online as well as Phisical Classes

Tutors offer their time for free. The School is run entirely through the generosity of its members.

The School of Philosophy in Trinidad and Tobago is a legally recognized entity, incorporated by a specific Act of Parliament: the School of Philosophy (Incorporation) Act, 1991 (Act No. 23 of 1991).

Course fees are kept as low as possible to allow the School to share its programs widely. Our doors are open to everyone.

The School’s curriculum is inspired by the world’s great universal teachings. Particular emphasis is given to the philosophy of the unity of the Self, the works of Plato, his Florentine follower Ficino, Emerson and others who speak of discovering an underlying unity and joy in all things.

The School of Philosophy is staffed and cared for by its own students on a purely voluntary basis, without remuneration. Its tutors are all students of the school who have studied their subject for many years.

"Living Philosophy: From Principles to Practice"

In addition to presenting "Practical" Philosophy to the community, students have taken the universal principles presented and, through study and devotion, applied them to the disciplines of Economics, Law, Calligraphy, Education, Art, Science, Music, and others. The results have led to a wealth of great beauty, creativity, and understanding. Public lectures and concerts are some of the ways the students and the School have so far been able to share with the community the benefits they have received.

Benefits of Meditation

Meditation is more than a practice it is a pathway to inner stillness and clarity. By quieting the mind through mantra meditation, we create space for peace and balance to emerge. This calm state reduces stress, improves focus, and nurtures emotional resilience, allowing us to meet life’s challenges with greater ease. Scientific studies affirm that regular meditation lowers anxiety, enhances concentration, and promotes overall well-being, making it a practical tool for modern living.

Beyond its immediate benefits, meditation opens the door to self-realisation. As the mind settles, deeper layers of awareness unfold, revealing a sense of unity and purpose that transcends everyday concerns. This journey inward fosters wisdom and compassion, enriching relationships and guiding decisions with clarity. In essence, meditation is not only a practice for the mind it is a way of living that harmonises thought, action, and spirit.
