Shakespeare Study Days at Brinscall Hall

28th – 30th December 2024

In this, our 35th year of Shakespeare study at Christmas, we will study Richard II and its poignant portrayal of personal downfall. We will have the opportunity to savour the lyrical speeches and enjoy its poetry.

“I have been studying how I may compare,

This prison where I live unto the world…”
Act 5 Scene 5

 

 

Come and enjoy the company of others studying the play and relaxing in the homely environment of Brinscall Hall from the 28th to 30th December. We shall spend time reading and discussing the play and watching videos of key scenes.
Attendance will be in person only and the charge for each day is £25 which includes lunch and refreshments. Each day will commence at 9.30 am and finish around 4.30 pm. Please have a copy of the play with you.

Bookings will close on the 20th December.

Practical Philosophy Courses for Everyday Life

How it works on our educational courses

A tutor presents material, and leads a discussion based on what arises. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge. Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.

The present moment

“This course ‘woke me up’, particularly to the present moment. Learning to use the ‘full stop’ between daily events and pausing, rather than everything running in to one continuum”

Very practical

“I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has been very practical and has given me lots of tools and exercises to use in my daily life. Coming back each week and feeding back to the group has reinforced what I have learned and given me extra pointers”.
