About the OrganisersThe seminar is organised by the <a href="https://schoolofphilosophystalbans.org/" title="https://schoolofphilosophystalbans.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">School of Philosophy, St Albans</a>, a volunteer-run educational charity and a branch of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, celebrating 50 years of teaching philosophy and meditation in Hertfordshire. Our role on the day is low-key: simply to manage the event and facilitate the discussion so that all participants get the most out of the experience. About 'This Sacred Land'This Sacred Land is an imaginative, multiyear initiative by the School of Philosophy and Economic Science and its branches across Great Britain. It aims to explore and celebrate our nation’s spiritual bedrock: its sacred rivers, forests and mountains; its Christian and pre-Christian sites of worship, pilgrimage and devotion; its sages, saints, poets and great thinkers and how, in modern times, this innate spirituality is finding new forms of expression among people of different faiths and of none.
