Welcome to The Seekers Forum
The journey to self-realization is the greatest calling of a human lifetime. The philosophical instruction to know yourself is the heart of what we do in The Seekers Forum. Through the practice of self-inquiry, we come to know ourselves in order to cultivate happier, more productive, and authentic lives. The Seekers Forum provides a place for people from all walks of life to 'Inquire Within', a place for deep dialogue, learning, and self-exploration.
Come share your journey with us,
How can the truth set you free?

“Inquire Within gives me confidence in understanding who I am and supports me in being more true to myself on a daily basis.”
“While I have a wonderful family and great friends, seldom do we engage in discussions covering topics such as those Mark explores in The Seekers Forum. One of the miracles of modern technology is that we can connect so intimately with members from around the world, to share what’s deep in our hearts and souls."
