Discovering Unity

All courses offered at Chisholme have the sole purpose of creating the conditions for self-knowledge in the light of the unity of being. To this end the approach is experiential rather than academic, and aims to establish us in a vision and taste that can inform the rest of our lives.

The beautiful, quiet location of Chisholme offers a strong support and deeply nurturing environment for this kind of enquiry.

To find out what kind of courses are usually available throughout a year, please see below.

Is you wish to visit Chisholme, or apply to spend time here as a volunteer, then please write to the secretary.

Residential Courses

Introductory Courses

The raw material of these courses and their subject matter is us. The premise of unity – that all being is One – is the starting point and constant reference, and what will inform us in fact is our own inner reality. The design of the courses and their contents are intended solely to stimulate and nourish this process.

As each person is unique, so each course comprises different ingredients, and no two courses are ever the same.

Please contact secretary@chisholme.org if you would like to attend.
