Celebrating Braziers Park: 75 Years of Curiosity, Community and Conscious Change

Braziers Park is a community, charity for alternative education, and an architectural treasure hidden deep in the South Oxfordshire countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Soil, Soul, Society:

Braziers Park’s Education Guiding Vision for 2025 and Beyond

At Braziers Park School of Integrative Social Research, we are embarking on a renewed journey in 2025, guided by the triad of Soil, Soul, Society – a profound framework of ecological and spiritual consciousness articulated by educator, activist, and thinker Satish Kumar. This philosophy will shape our calendar of events, workshops, and courses inspiring participants to engage with the natural world, deepen inner awareness, and cultivate sustainable communities.
