May all be happy! Everyone wants to be happy. Philosophy's sole aim and motivation is to make happiness available to everyone. 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.

Many of them arising from questions from members' everyday lives, problems and sources of happiness. Meeting together for discussions on various philosophical topics at the Willow tearoom in Central Park Peterborough, The Orchard Grantchester and other places. First Saturday of each month at 10am in the park (except January when it varies). And the Orchard usually on the second Saturday. All are welcome
