Dear Reader,

As you pick up this edition of ACROPOLIS, the memories of new year wishes are likely still fresh in your mind. The beginning of a calendar year brings forth, almost automatically, wishes for a Happy new year. The year is certainly new, but it is worthwhile noting that whether it will be happy or not for each of us depends largely on how consciously we make the efforts to make it so.

This issue looks at key themes in the first three months of the year through a philosophical lens, in a way that is practical in our lives – celebrate new beginnings and new year resolutions in January through a simple practice of mindfulness and self-reflection; February brings with it Valentine’s day, and we look at love through the eyes of a philosopher-photographer; and with International Women’s day in March, we look at the philosophical essence of the divine Feminine. Additionally, awaiting you in these pages are inspiring takes on the world of plants, and the way of the Artist, as two pathways to deepening the meaning in our own lives.

With this first issue of ACROPOLIS in 2019, we take the opportunity to wish you happy new beginnings, renewal and rejuvenation. Wishing you a [consciously] Happy 2019!

Happy reading!
