Academic Year

Our next Universal Philosophy Diploma course starts in September 2020 and finishes in June 2021. The Academic year is made up of three terms which span across the year.  

Termly Overview
Term 1 

The course starts by exploring fundamental questions around Love - what it is and what its component parts are, giving you the knowledge you need to help deepen your understanding of love. You will learn about the Zenai Practices where you see love in everything and explore the idea that our experiences in this life are because of love - it may be distorted or expressed in an uncomfortable way but it is all an expression of love, allowing you to be more compassionate with yourself and others. You will then focus on the theories of life itself to uncover your true life’s purpose, empowering you to appreciate the choices you make on a much more profound level.  

Term 2 

During the second term you will reflect on the idea of Joy being our only true driving force in life and consider the scientific effects joy can have on us as individuals and on the world around us. You will learn techniques and practices to help you understand yourself, working towards experiencing pure consciousness of your true self. You will study the philosophies behind Reiwa Healing which will introduce you to your innate connection with nature, giving you a deeper appreciation for life so that you can profoundly enjoy being who you really are.

Term 3 

The final term focuses on spirituality. While we are sometimes not aware of the spiritual side to our life, our spirituality is a really natural part of us all. You will learn to reconnect with your spiritual self and appreciate how, when your body and mind awaken to your spiritual intentions, your life becomes more meaningful. You will complete the course by exploring the concepts of freedom and responsibility and how they are created in our relationships and in our society as a whole. You will learn to be self aware, to take responsibility for being truly original and to contribute to society in an uniquely positive way.

Academic Support

When you first start at Leaves Institute, we will introduce you to your Course Leader and your personal Tutor, who are there to provide academic guidance and support throughout your time with us. Each term, you will receive a one-to-one tutorial with your personal Tutor and, as a Universal Philosophy student, you will also receive a supervision session which will help you develop in this field.
