THE HOUSE OF LIFE

THE HOUSE OF LIFE

The House of Life is a practical study centre for an integral approach to the perception of reality.

By integral we indicate a method which forges the physical, psychological and intellectual organs of human perception into a qualitative whole that is able to transcend the sum of its parts. We are adamant that this cannot be divorced from lived experience. Indeed, we define philosophy in its original and literal sense—a love of wisdom—and also in its original context—a way of life.

In short, our philosophy is not a system of mental abstraction but rather a means of experiencing the integral nature of reality through making ourselves integral.
In this approach, we are inspired by the same muse which gave rise to the most influential wisdom schools of the ancient and medieval worlds:

—The Egyptian Per-Ankh (house of life);

—The Pythagorean School;

—The Platonic Academy;

—The Islamic Bait al-Hikma (house of wisdom).
