Welcome to the Academy of Self Knowledge (ASK)
The online courses offered by ASK are aimed at the student, who is serious and committed in the quest of self-knowledge. The courses are designed for in depth home study, combined with practical exercises and written assignments. We at ASK will support the student’s learning and study goals primarily through use of a facilitator assigned to each student to guide and assist the student throughout the duration of the course. The online nature of the courses allows students to work at their own pace and convenience.
The ASK courses are based upon the teachings of its founder,Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri, a writer-philosopher whose teachings combine knowledge and experience of the spiritual wisdom of the East with a practical and first hand understanding of the West.
We look forward to welcoming you online, on a rewarding journey of self-knowledge.
ASK Offices
The headquarters of ASK are in Pretoria, South Africa. We also have offices in the UK, USA, Pakistan and India. Please see the Contact Us page for further details.
Academic Facilitators
Each office has a team of academic facilitators. Assignments are submitted online by the students, and reviewed by the students’ personal facilitator. The assignments are not graded, instead, feedback and advice are provided in order to assist the students in their progress throughout the lessons. An online journal is maintained for each student. This journal may be accessed by both students and facilitators in order to constantly review the students’ progress.
Seminars and Workshops
Students will be invited to send any comments and questions they may have regarding each lesson. At periodic intervals, Shaykh Haeri will conduct a seminar in Pretoria. During these events a selection of key questions and comments will be answered. The seminars and workshops will be recorded, and sent to each of the offices whereby each of the facilitator’s will ensure that the students may obtain access to these events.
