We offer transformative learning experiences, counselling and psychotherapy and rooms to hire in the heart of London at our 92-94 Tooley Street building. 

Our values and our culture consider the whole, both in terms of individuals and society, as well as from an organisational perspective. We orientate to working with the qualities of love and will, bringing the principles of curiosity, inquiry and responsibility to our work and to each other.
