What is the difference between loneliness and solitude? Is solitude an essential part of a fully flourishing life? Making reference to Existentialist philosophiser Paul Tillich; being in a body means being alone, and Michelle de Montaigne; ‘happiness depends on ourselves’ and that we ought to be content with being ‘really and truly alone’, we will explore the benefits of solitude.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
