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.
