Also known as Brockwood Park, Brockwood Park School
The Brockwood Park School and Krishnamurti Foundation Trust at Bramdean in Hampshire, England — Jiddu Krishnamurti's principal European educational and talking centre from the 1960s to his death in 1986. The 36-hectare country estate was acquired for Krishnamurti's work in 1969 by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust (UK, established 1968). Brockwood Park School (founded 1969) is an international co-educational boarding school for students aged 14-19, following the same educational philosophy as Rishi Valley. Krishnamurti gave annual talks on the Brockwood Park lawns from 1969 to 1985 — the Brockwood Park talks and the Oak Grove (Ojai) talks are the two principal archives of his late philosophical statements. The adjacent 2001 Krishnamurti Centre for adult retreats, and the Brockwood Park Trust's Mountain Garden ecological restoration project, extend the Krishnamurti work.

Jiddu Krishnamurti established his principal European educational and talking centre at Brockwood Park in Hampshire, England, when the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust (UK, established 1968) acquired the 36-hectare country estate in 1969. He founded Brockwood Park School in 1969 as an international co-educational boarding school for students aged 14-19, following the same educational philosophy of inquiry and non-conditioning as Rishi Valley (1926). Krishnamurti gave annual talks on the Brockwood Park lawns from 1969 to 1985; the Brockwood Park talks and the Ojai Oak Grove talks together constitute the two principal archives of his late philosophical statements. The 2001 Krishnamurti Centre at Brockwood for adult retreats continues his work.
