On 12 August 2023, New Acropolis Main centre hosted a talk “Freedom to Be Yourself,” delving into the concept of true freedom and the ability to remain authentic despite external circumstances.
The Speakers examined the various facets of freedom, emphasising the importance of making choices aligned with one’s true self. The workshop highlighted the pursuit of inner freedom through philosophy as a way of life, using Stoic philosophy as an example to explain the approach of responding to external circumstances with inner strength and ethical choices.
Participants were encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and choices in the context of inner freedom, ultimately leading to a better understanding of themselves and their path to genuine freedom. Practical exercises helped attendees connect these philosophical concepts to their daily lives, fostering a deeper appreciation for the journey to inner freedom. The event served as an invitation to join the ongoing voyage of self-discovery through philosophy and its invaluable role in achieving lasting freedom.
