New Acropolis Toronto

🌍 On the occasion of Mother Earth Day, New Acropolis Canada two wonderful volunteer activities combining action and reflection.

🧹 In Toronto, a park clean-up to take concrete care of our environment and make a simple yet meaningful contribution toward positive change.

🐾 In Montreal, a philosophical conference on the theme “Animals have a soul!”, opening a space for dialogue about our relationship with living beings, consciousness, and respect for nature.

Two different activities, but one shared goal: to develop a more human, responsible, and harmonious awareness toward Life and the planet. 🌱

✨ This Tuesday, we continue with our Philosophical Live Series.
Continuing this space for lively and in-depth dialogue, we invite you to join us for Episode 3 of our international live series.

This week, it will be in English!

🎙️ Topic of the week:
“Seneca and the Shortness of life”

A dialogue about the work of this Stoic philosopher, who reflected upon and left us with much knowledge about how we make the most of our time. It will be a great opportunity for us to reflect on this as well and apply it to our lives today.

👤 Guest:
Prof. Aidan Murphy,
🗓️ Tuesday, February 3

💬 This series was created to show how we practice philosophy:
accessible, well-structured, and profound conversations that connect major themes of human thought with everyday life.

👉 Important reminder:
✔️ We will have a live session every Tuesday, always at the same time.

🧭 An invitation to think together, to listen attentively, and to keep philosophy alive as a path of knowledge and inner transformation.
We look forward to seeing you. 🙂

Do You Know Homer’s Odyssey?

In this epic of literature and mythology, Odysseus faces countless trials as he attempts to return to his homeland, Ithaca, after the Trojan War.

🧜♀️ On one part of his journey, Odysseus must sail past the Sirens. Their song is irresistible, and deadly. The only way to survive is not to listen.

Odysseus protects his sailors by sealing their ears with wax so they cannot hear anything. Yet he chooses to listen himself. To ensure he will not be seduced, he asks to be tied to the ship’s mast.

As the Sirens sing, the sailors continue rowing forward, and Odysseus, bound to the mast, bravely resists.

This episode symbolizes all the forces that seduce us and pull us away from our goals. The path to fulfillment is full of enchanting obstacles, but like Odysseus, we must remain tied to the mast – our principles, the highest point of our inner ship – to cross adversity and emerge victorious.
