About New Acropolis of Atlanta
New Acropolis of Atlanta is dedicated to
helping all people in the metro-area live more meaningful and
thoughtful lives. We aim to help move society towards greater
degrees of self-knowledge and social responsibility through the
promotion of philosophy, culture, and volunteering.
Philosophy
Philosophy is “love of wisdom”, a profound
search for truth and meaning. Philosophy is about improving
ourselves and changing the world we live in by being that change. It
is to know ourselves so that we can be ourselves. Our philosophy
courses include Wisdom of the East and West, Theological Symbolism,
Moral Philosophy, Introduction to the Wisdom of the Orient,
Psychology, Comparative Religion, and much more…
Culture
New Acropolis promotes culture as a way to
express the human values of generosity, creativity, understanding,
fraternity and eclecticism. These cultural values lead to
self-improvement and transformation. Cultural activities include
seminars, courses, museum visits, visits to sacred sites, historical
exhibitions, artistic exhibitions, theater, concerts, yoga and tai
chi. We promote a spirit of openness to the rich diversity of
culture. In addition, sacred cultural traditions allow us to
transcend the secular world, enter the sacred, and reconnect with
nature.
Volunteering
To volunteer is to express one's true self. It
is to give with an open heart. Unfortunately, our society sometimes
promotes an attitude of “give and take” which causes us to forget
the true nature of generosity. Volunteering is a great way to
develop a pure, unconditional contact with the unselfish aspect of
our nature.
