The School of Life Community Membership is a global community for people who want more meaningful conversations - and a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

It’s a place to meet thoughtful, like-minded people and explore the things that matter most: relationships, work, anxiety, purpose and how to live well.

Members join regular live events, including sessions led by Alain de Botton and our faculty. These are not just talks, but guided conversations - spaces to reflect, share experiences and connect in a more open and honest way. Members also have access to a wider programme of in-person events and special gatherings, offering further opportunities to connect

Membership includes access to The School of Life App, where everything comes together in one place. Alongside a rich library of articles, films, podcast and practical tools, members can join an exclusive community space - a private, members-only environment to continue conversations, share reflections and build meaningful connections over time.

Events can be discovered and booked directly within the app, making it easy to take part and stay connected wherever you are in the world.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, think more deeply, or feel less alone in life’s challenges, this is a space to do it - together.
