Experiences
The School of Life isn’t just a place to learn; it is – just as importantly – a place to connect with people who are curious about emotional intelligence, interested in understanding themselves and eager to build meaningful and sincere friendships.
Introducing our new Experiences – a series of in-person events in London and New York that bring you together to talk, to explore your mind and to build connections with others in an atmosphere of play and psychological discovery.

Drawing as Therapy
A therapeutic evening where the skill being developed has nothing at all to do with drawing ‘well’ and everything to do with psychology.
BOOK NOWTherapeutic Retreats
Our Therapeutic Retreats are designed to offer participants a holistic approach to healing and mental wellness through a mixture of ideas and therapeutic interventions in an atmosphere that is warm, creative and focused on change.
Book Socials
Every few months, we invite anyone interested in The School of Life to gather in a bookshop (or, sometimes, another congenial venue) for the very best kind of social event: one in which we can discuss ideas, share thoughts and meet new people.
