The “New Acropolis” in Heraklion, organized a book presentation on “The Secret Doctrine of Plato.” The author of the book Mr. Savvas Pattakos, spoke about the basic ideas that are analyzed in the book. Then,  he signed copies of the book with special dedications to all participants.

The Book Club that promotes and organizes the Seneca Library, presented the book entitled: “The Trail of the Dragon. Nature and Symbol in Alchemy, Mythology and Christianity” by its author Saulo Ruíz.

The Trail of the Dragon is a remarkable text about mysteries that have lain hidden for centuries, forgotten in their own obscurity due to the loss of the esoteric meaning behind them. Now a path to their understanding opens up before us, clarifying a very significant era in the history of thought, dispelling the mists of the origin and future of the cosmos, transforming our conception of the world and furthering the sublimation of the individual.

The Publishing House of New Acropolis Slovenia published a new book titled ‘An option of life’, comprising a selection of articles on psychology and philosophy by  Jelena Sikirić, psychologist and director of New Acropolis Russia.

The presentation of the book took place at ‘Literature House’ in Maribor, and included some words on the author and selected readings of her work.
