On Saturday March 28, 2026 New Acropolis main centre hosted a talk on the classic tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll as seen through a Philosophical lens.
The speaker revisited this story as more than a children’s fantasy, interpreting the Wonderland as a symbolic inner landscape and Alice as the seeker navigating life’s deeper questions.
The iconic “rabbit hole” was presented as a metaphor for the choice to move beyond surface reality—an invitation to question assumptions and explore hidden dimensions of experience.
Central to this interpretation, the White Rabbit, seen as the recurring trigger life presents—moments of curiosity or disruption that often pass unnoticed. Alice’s decision to follow it marks the beginning of transformation, echoing the human choice to pursue meaning. Along her journey, her encounters with enigmatic characters function as “teachers,” repeatedly challenging her with the fundamental question: “Who are you?”
As Alice changes size and perspective, we are reminded of the transient nature of identity and our own quest in search for truth.
The speaker suggested that truth is layered, often obscured, and demands deeper inquiry. Like Alice, we must choose to look beyond appearances, engage with life from multiple perspectives, and embark on an inner journey where, ultimately, the search becomes as meaningful as the answers themselves.
