The Wisdom Collective
The Wisdom Collective exists to support the development of independent learners, who think, relate and create with greater depth. Through facilitating philosophical discussions, and teaching mindfulness, we provide people with opportunities to learn about their own intellectual, social, and emotional capacities, and give them the tools to explore and expand these in everyday life. The Wisdom Collective brings people together to develop their critical and creative thinking skills, and their ability to relate to others, understand differing perspectives, and understand themselves.
Our sessions involve active, collaborative learning. Based on games, questions, discussion and reflection, they animate participants to grapple with issues on their own terms and direct their own learning. By instigating debate among participants, and eliciting reasons and explanations from them, facilitators help participants to develop their own ideas on topics, and build the confidence to take risks and experiment in uncharted territory.
Our approach is influenced by Philosophy for Children (P4C), the science and philosophy of embodied cognition, and the thinker and physicist Bohm, who developed a particular approach to dialogue.
