Brockwood Park is located in a peaceful yet accessible part of Hampshire, UK. Set amongst ancient woods and the rolling hills of the South Downs, Brockwood is the ideal setting for inquiry into the whole of life. The elements of Brockwood Park complement each other and form a unique whole. The Krishnamurti Centre is a quiet retreat centre designed for adults to explore the work of Krishnamurti and its relevance to their lives. Brockwood Park School provides a unique education for teenage boarding students from all over the world. Inwoods Small School is an independent day school for primary-aged children. The Foundation ensures Krishnamurti’s teachings are preserved and available worldwide.

The Krishnamurti Centre

This place must be of great beauty, with trees, birds and quietness, for beauty is truth, and truth is goodness and love.

Krishnamurti

The Centre’s collection of books, video and audio recordings is available for all guests. The library contains copies of all Krishnamurti’s books and many translations. There are two video rooms and portable devices are available for guests to use. The bookshop stocks a comprehensive selection of Krishnamurti books.

The Krishnamurti Foundation

Established in 1968 as a registered charity, and located at The Krishnamurti Centre, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust exists to preserve and make available Krishnamurti’s teachings.

The Foundation serves a global audience by providing worldwide free access to Krishnamurti videos, audio and texts to those who may be interested in pursuing an understanding of Krishnamurti’s work in their own lives.

In describing his intentions for the Foundations, Krishnamurti said: 

The Foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt.

Brockwood Park School

Brockwood Park School is an international co-educational boarding school offering a personalised, holistic education for around 70 students aged 14 to 19. The school, the only one of its kind in Europe, is deeply inspired by Krishnamurti’s teachings, which encourage academic excellence, self-understanding, creativity and integrity, in a safe, non-competitive environment.

Here at Brockwood, we are responsible for creating the soil in which there is freedom. In that freedom, we can flower in goodness.

Krishnamurti

Education at Brockwood goes beyond more traditional kinds of learning. Not exclusively academic, its mission is to help students learn the art of living, bringing together aspects of learning, sensitivity, open-mindedness and self-reflection that are too often ignored.

Inwoods Small School

As its name suggests, Inwoods primary school is set amongst beautiful woodland, a short walk from Brockwood Park School. Far more than simply a place in nature to acquire knowledge, the school provides a nurturing environment valuing relationship, self-knowledge and reflective observation, resulting in creative, inquiring and attentive minds.

Get Involved

For young adults (aged 19 to 35, or the young at heart, subject to available space) interested in Krishnamurti’s teachings, the Krishnamurti Centre provides an opportunity for inquiry and engagement over 2 to 4 weeks. Brockwood Park also provides a similar opportunity for eleven months for young adults aged 23 to 35.

Based on the needs of Brockwood Park or the Centre, we accept a limited number of residential volunteers, providing the chance to explore fundamental questions of life in light of Krishnamurti’s Teachings.

Spaces are limited. We receive many applications and consider various factors such as skills, experience, needs, and the capacity to live residentially with others to make a decision.

Additionally, we are always pleased to hear from people interested in Krishnamurti who are keen to find out more about employment at Brockwood Park. We may not have a suitable position advertised at present, but it is helpful for us to be aware of your interest in consideration of our future employment needs.

We also welcome volunteers working from home on various projects, particularly the translation of subtitles at the Krishnamurti Foundation.

Please email us a brief CV with a cover letter about yourself and how you heard about us.
