The meetings can all be attended in person at the Lodge or joined online via Skype, with the exception of the Tuesday and Thursday meetings, which are only on Skype, see Guide to Online Meetings.

The Lodge is located at Robert Crosbie House, 62 Queen’s Gardens, London, W2 3AL. It is 5 to 10 minutes walk from Paddington, Lancaster Gate, Queensway and Bayswater tubes and has good bus connections.

All are welcome to participate in the meetings, for most of them you do not need to have prior knowledge of the philosophy, just an open and enquiring mind.

The page The Aim of the Meetings provides a short introduction to the methods and practice of study of the philosophy and is recommended to be read by those joining the meetings.
