(Jules Evans) Inspired by the work of Aldous Huxley, this project will develop, teach and assess a 4-part course in integrated education. The sessions will be captured on video and turned into an online course, and 4 videos of key ideas for YouTube. The course will teach people ideas and practices for resilience, flourishing and interconnectedness from ancient wisdom traditions and modern psychology. It will draw on research over the last decade, on ancient Greek philosophy and its influence on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Buddhism and its influence on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, self-transcendent experiences, and research on Aldous Huxley. Beneficiaries: two small groups of 15 people, (London Philosophy Club, a mental health charity) and those who engage with the online courses and YouTube content.
