Online Courses
These courses are for people looking for something deeper than the usual self-help promises. Inspired by the work of writers and thinkers such as the late Mari Ruti (author of The Call of Character: Living a Life Worth Living) these courses offer space to reflect on life’s complexities — desire, love, lack, and the impossibility of perfect happiness.
You’ll find thoughtful lessons, reflective exercises, and practical tools — not to fix yourself, but to help you think differently, reflect more deeply, and live with greater clarity and honesty.

-
Self‑paced online access—move through it on your own terms

Why This? Why Now?
These courses aren’t about self-optimisation. They’re about learning to live with honesty, curiosity, and clarity in a world that often tells us to fix, improve, and chase happiness at any cost. Through thoughtful lessons and practical tools, you’ll be invited to reflect differently — to see your life, your patterns, and your desires in a new light.
