The Twenty-Nine Pages is a summary of some of the concepts used by Muhyiddin ibn ‘Arabi in his metaphysical system. Not only does this short book offer a rigorous introduction to key terms and concepts, however, but by studying this text under course conditions, complemented by awareness and meditation practices, work and zikr as well as other texts, it is possible for the ideas in the work to open up in us and meet their native image within our own consciousness, since they are a description of the human reality that is our very selves.
Aimed primarily for students who have completed a Forty-Day course or similar, this course is nine days long and will serve to revisit and consolidate what we have previously studied and to develop and deepen our condition further. It also provides a springboard for the 99-day course that we aim to offer in winter 2019-20.
Other people are welcome to apply to join the course as well; please contact us to discuss.
Accommodation: The course is fully residential and begins with supper on Friday 15 March. It ends at lunchtime on Sunday 24 March.
Cost: The fee for this course has been kept as low as possible at £350 including accommodation and all meals. If you are genuinely unable to afford this fee, however, please contact us and we will do our best to help.

About the courses at Chisholme
All courses at Chisholme, however much their formats differ, begin with the principle of the absolute unity of existence, in view of which unity all life, in whatever sphere, is interconnected and interdependent.
If this is so, then who and what am I? Is it possible for me to come to know my reality and place within the one absolute existence? And what is the way forward, to know myself within the context of unity? That such knowledge is possible, and that there is indeed a way towards it is the reason for all courses that Chisholme offers.
There are different lengths of courses at Chisholme. From a weekend to six months, the course comprises a beginning, a middle and an end and has a continuity of participants throughout. Each participant begins at the same starting point as every other, and all complete the course together. To begin at the beginning, it is important that each participant, whatever their prior learning and experience, enters upon the course with ‘beginner’s mind’, as far as possible putting aside all previous understandings, with a freshness of intent and enquiry.
This kind of knowledge cannot be taught as such, and for this reason Chisholme has no teachers. Rather, this knowledge is within each of us already and reveals itself as and when we are ready, when the time is right. Chisholme’s courses aim to provide the best circumstances for each participant to approach this transformational moment, whether during the course or in the future.
Each person’s journey to self-knowledge will be different.
