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 2.00pm – 3.30pm 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

Free Public Workshop on Sunday 30 June 2024 By Khush Marolia
Topic: The Beauty and Grandeur of Vedic Chants

In recent years along with the acceptance of Yoga exercises as beneficial for health and well being many people have been exposed to and become familiar with the sounds of Vedic chants promoting relaxation of the body, calming of the mind and elevating our emotional ground. After a brief introduction covering the origin of Vedic chants the workshop will practice the sounding of three invocations, on Guidance, Perfection and Peace, in Sanskrit and their translation into English with a view to enlightening the mind with meaning and arousing the heart with positive emotions. Be prepared to participate.

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 schoolofphilosophysussex@gmail.com
