The Philosophy Foundation is a non-profit institution for spiritual development. Since 1972, members have discovered how to live more consciously and joyfully in the midst of life’s complexities, inspired by the generous and practical advice from modern sages of the ancient tradition of Advaita Vedanta. The study and practice of Advaita can be of dramatic benefit, improving one's sense of purpose, state of mind and satisfaction in life.
The Foundation is pleased to share the essence of this wisdom -- a golden thread that runs through all enduring philosophies, traditions and religions. We offer introductory courses, workshops and retreats which require no prior knowledge or study.
Enjoy the stimulating company of like-minded men and women in the beautiful surroundings of historic Worcester House in Waltham, and discover the power within you to transform your life.
