Philosophy for all. - Anybody can access the benefits of philosophy. Everybody can have that access through the explorations that are Philosophy in the Park and Orchard.

See all- What if consciousness is just a human construct? To explain the inexplicable?Bowls pavilion central Park, Peterborough
Consciousness is one of the great unmeasurables.
So, is it really real?
Or is it the most real of all?
We live as conscious beings, or at least we think we do.
Can machines ever be conscious, be aware of their own existence?
Is it explicable at all?
So many questions fundamental to our experience of life.
