Philosophy for a Flourishing Life: Emotions, Suffering & Peace of Mind (downstairs)
2025-10-09 10:00 - 13:00 | Catherine Cookson Room
Can philosophy help us navigate emotional pain and
cultivate inner peace? This half-day course explores
how Stoic and Buddhist thought address suffering and
resilience. Participants learn practical strategies for
emotional well-being—like letting go, perspective-shifting,
and practicing compassion. A guided loving-kindness medi-
tation offers a gentle way to develop greater empathy and
self-awareness, helping us respond more wisely to life’s chal-
lenges.

Spanish Conversation
2025-10-09 18:00 - 19:30 | Sid Chaplin room
The Spanish Conversation Group meets every Thursday at 6.0pm until 7.30pm. The cost is still £3 per meeting. A new arrival is not expected to pay on the first evening.

We continue to welcome new members. The standard is very fluid. As long as you can read or write or speak some Spanish you will fit in. If – after a few meetings – you feel that your own standard is too far below or above the rest please discuss this with the Group Leader (Crispin Welby). It is perfectly acceptable to sit and let the conversation flow around you. The level spoken is suitable for those who have studied the language at a school or night clases and/or for those who have battled with shopkeepers in rural Spain or in deepest Mexico.
If you do not know any one who is in the Group please phone me on 0191 417 88 46 and I will put you in touch with someone who can explore the situation further.
¡Adelante! ¡Venid todos!
Saludos,
Crispín
