Welcome to Mind Friends.
According to Aristotle, one of the highest goals in life is working towards wisdom; but not just "head knowledge", a step further, applying the knowledge to practical living. He called this Phronēsis - practical wisdom.
Mind Friends aims to promote full, productive and joyful living in young people today by integrating the ancient wisdom of philosophy with practical skills of living well. The concept of friendship applies equally to the way we relate meaningfully to others as it does to the way we relate to ourselves - our inner lives.
My work is mainly in schools where I am engaged full time, building friendships with students and opening for them ways of thinking and living with full and deliberate intention; becoming the people they were uniquely born to be.
