THE LIBRARY


The School of Death has a wide reading list. The curriculum indulges in science and spirituality, philosophy and poetry. The accessible, the esoteric, the mind-blowing, the soul touching.

 

The school takes inspiration from perennial wisdomthe idea that the world's great mystical traditions all tap into a shared metaphysical truth. One deep root, many branches.

 

The school prefers questions to answers, paradoxes to prescriptions

and welcomes anyone who feels... something.
