An
Introduction to
The Academy of Human Development
Thank you for your enquiry about classes and weekend retreats at the Academy of Human Development.
The Academy of Human Development Inc. (AHD) was formed in 2001 by a group of philosophers to assist the many people in the community looking to find some meaning and happiness in their life.
Some had suffered loss and trauma and needed guidance to get past their pain and disillusionment. Others wanted to find the missing link in their personal journey of self development. AHD has responded to these requests by making available classes, retreats and exercises, which if used correctly will overcome disillusionment and pain from past circumstances and provide a life richer in meaning and fulfilment.
Students who attend classes and weekend retreats are given a series of exercises to assist them in connecting fully with their five senses. All the senses operate on the physical, subtle and spiritual levels. Most people use only one or two of these in their everyday lives. By learning to connect fully with all five senses the experience of life becomes richer, intuition develops and the world looks brighter. AHD also has an exercise called contemplation which requires no action by students but gently brings more light into the mind and shows up any impediments to happiness.
Since AHD’s establishment, many students have experienced Enlightenment and Self Realization and the peace and happiness which come with understanding our true nature. These experiences are available to everyone but to know who we really are, we need to understand who and what we are not. Exercises to help develop inner stillness are practised. Ancient scriptures and the words of great philosophers are used as tools to Self discovery. The Academy offers a friendly and supportive environment for the transition to take place. There is an opportunity to meet in a convivial atmosphere, meet new people and enjoy the company of others with similar interests.
| Everyone wants to be happy. At some stage in life, every human being needs to go into the darkness of their own mind and make peace among the conflicting forces which operate there. Very few people have found peace and happiness by themselves. There is, in everyone’s lifetime, a window of opportunity to do this. AHD provides that opportunity. |
