Philosophy Day (Slovenia)
Every year we remember the philosophical heritage on Unesco’s World Philosophy Day. To honor it, New Acropolis in Slovenia organized two events, that happened on November 21st.
In Ljubljana, a public lecture titled “Three Powers of the Soul” was given, to explain the balance of love, intellect and will, forces that are intertwined within a human being. The goal was to become aware of the powers within us that can bring unity.
In Maribor, we prepared a more practical workshop titled “How to achieve great things”. After a short introduction, the group was presented with challenges which demanded team effort to be completed. To understand how to achieve unity by harmonizing our natural diversity, we sought answers in the teachings of great philosophers. Afterwards we repeated each task, this time with much better success.
We are passing the torch out of gratitude to those great masters who have shown the path for their successors. On this day, we celebrate their memory, while striving to live a life of gratitude every day.
