Workshop: Fate, Destiny and the Power of Choice. Saturday 3 October, London N1. 10.45am

💫 A deeply philosophical and practical workshop expanding on Plato's vision of destiny by bringing together Western myth, the Eastern concepts of Karma and Dharma, Dante’s Divine Comedy and the tragic fate of Oedipus.

There will be a practical session with the opportunity to engage with the material on a deeper, personal level. We will explore the connection between the fate we are dealt and the destiny we create, and how Plato understood philosophy as a compass for making wise choices.

🔆Plato wrote of the Myth of Er − a story of the near-death experience of a soldier who dies in battle, journeys to the afterlife and wakes up on his funeral pyre to tell the tale. Er observed how souls prepared to reincarnate, each choosing their next life, but “the responsibility lies with the one who makes the choice.”

For Plato, this moment of choice is the ultimate test of the soul: blinded by the temptation of wealth or power, many souls accidentally choose lives of misery and vice. The ones who choose wisely are those who practised philosophy in life.

📣Workshop: A philosophical workshop exploring the hidden meanings behind symbols in nature and art, as well as imagination according to Gilbert Durand.

⭐For thousands of years, symbols have been used to express the ineffable and to create a bridge between the invisible and visible dimensions. By learning to understand them better, we awaken and expand our imagination.

The International Volunteer Games brought together in Greece 858 volunteers from New Acropolis and its School of Sport, representing 24 countries from every continent, to experience sport as a path of human development, self-improvement, and fraternity.

The gathering took place in Olympia, at the facilities of the International Olympic Academy, a setting deeply connected to the history and classical tradition of Greece, and especially meaningful for reflecting on sport and the values that unite human beings.

Over several days, competitions were held in athletics, swimming, football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, archery, chess, Acroball, tug of war, rhythmic gymnastics, and Greco-Roman wrestling.

The program also brought together philosophy and culture through a series of lectures — including one given by the International Director of New Acropolis — presentations, and archaeological visits to Olympia, Sparta, Delphi, and Ancient Messene.

The Games are an initiative of New Acropolis, organized through its School of Sport with Heart, which brings together sport, philosophy, and volunteering as tools for the integral development of the human being.

Beyond the results, every experience was an opportunity to put into practice discipline, respect, perseverance, teamwork, and fellowship.

858 participants. 24 countries. Every continent. One shared ideal of self-improvement and fraternity.

69 years. Thousands of stories. One shared ideal.

Since 1957, New Acropolis has brought together people from different cultures, languages, and countries around a shared conviction: that human beings can transform themselves and, in doing so, help transform the world.

Over these 69 years, we have learned, taught, served, built friendships, and shared countless experiences that continue to bear fruit wherever we are present.

Today, we celebrate not only an anniversary, but an international community of people who continue to grow, study, serve, and bring philosophy into everyday life.

Thank you to everyone who is part of this story.

Happy 69th Anniversary, New Acropolis! 🎉🌍💚
