ABOUT US

We are a non-profit organisation which has offered practical philosophy courses since 1956.

Inspired by a universal philosophy, we are guided by the great teachings of the world including Advaita, Plato & Socrates, Sufi and the Buddha.

Practical philosophy students have been practising the awareness exercise and mantra-based meditation for over 60 years.

Philosophy House was built in 1913 and has been our home since 1984. The building boasts beautiful classrooms as well as dining and residential facilities.

As part of the Wellington Heritage Festival, we’re opening our doors to anyone who would like to visit. Sunday November 1st from 9.30am - 4pm. We’ll be offering regular tours around Philosophy House as well as several lectures on the history of 33 Aro St and the courses we offer.

We are an Incorporated Society and registered charity (CC10905).
