Among the food and art stalls at Apple Fest, visitors found something less expected: a school of philosophy!
But just as the human body needs bread (or empanadas) and w**e, the human being needs something more. And we were there to ask questions that aim to awaken the philosophical self. 🔥🌷
If you met us there we look forward to seeing you in one of our future events!

Dear friends of New Acropolis Chicago, Happy Fall Equinox! Fall is a season of transition. The heat and energy of summer give way to cooler days. Leaves change color, and we begin to put on layers between ourselves and the world. Yet, even though we often see fall as an end of a cycle, past traditio...

Good Luck on Your Next Failure - Turning Setbacks to Stepping Stones
This Sunday at 3pm!
We have all failed at some point in life, but how did we bounce back?
What did we learn from it?
What is the real story behind failures and why are we so afraid / ashamed / embarrassed by them? How can we actually use them as our best teachers?
