the academy of life.

 

our life academy is designed for adults who are ready to learn what we didn’t cover in school.

from managing money and mastering communication, to understanding health, relationships and creativity - we bring together experts and local legends from all walks of life to share real-world knowledge and ideas.

otium is a latin word from ancient rome to mean leisure time for personal development and intellectual growth. at the academy of life, we embrace the concept of otium by providing a series of talks and workshops to stimulate your mind, led by guest speakers such as academics, authors, former sports players, poets, artists, scientists, politicians, motivational speakers and entrepreneurs.

all of our sessions are in-person and afterwards we encourage open discussion amongst attendees to explore your ideas with each other.

learning doesn’t stop at graduation, it is a life long pursuit.
