The city of Mérida became the perfect setting for the ‘Philosophical Walk II’ organised by the New Acropolis International Organisation. This event brought together more than a hundred people in a day full of enriching and transformative activities, which offered attendees the opportunity to connect deeply with themselves and explore philosophy from a practical perspective.

Activities for the Body and Soul

The Philosophical Walk II was a celebration of holistic wellbeing. Activities began with Yoga and Tai Chi sessions, where participants were able to harmonise their body and mind through gentle, meditative movements. Massage therapy and holistic healing offered moments of relaxation and healing, allowing attendees to release tension and balance their energy.

Meditation, a central practice of the day, provided a space for introspection and calm, essential for self-knowledge and inner connection. Participants found in these practices a way to reduce stress and increase their overall well-being, thus discovering new ways to take care of their physical and mental health.

Conference on Personal Purpose: The Ikigai

One of the highlights of the event was the lecture on Ikigai, a Japanese philosophy that focuses on finding personal purpose. Attendees became aware of how to align their passions, vocations, missions and professions to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

The exchange of ideas and experiences during this talk allowed participants to reflect on their own life paths and how they can apply the principles of Ikigai to achieve a more fulfilling and rewarding existence. It was an enriching space for dialogue and sharing of perspectives.

A Transformative Encounter

The success of the Philosophical Walk II is not only measured by the large attendance, but also by the depth of the experience lived by each participant. The combination of physical, therapeutic and philosophical activities offered a holistic approach to wellbeing, highlighting the importance of caring for the body, mind and spirit.

This event demonstrated how philosophy can be practically applied in everyday life, providing tools for personal growth and self-realisation. Attendees not only enjoyed a day of activities, but also took away a new approach to life, inspired by ancient wisdom and adapted to the needs of the modern world.

Final Reflections

The New Acropolis Philosophical Walk II in Merida was, without a doubt, a complete success. Participants left with a renewed understanding of themselves and a clearer vision of their personal purpose. The day reaffirmed the value of philosophy as a guide for life, capable of inspiring profound and positive change in those who practice it.

This event is a testament to New Acropolis’ commitment to promoting knowledge and holistic wellbeing, and we look forward to future gatherings that will continue to enrich the life of our community.
