What we’re about

“Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul” – Marcus Aurelius
In a world full of distractions, do we truly make time for quiet reflection? Marcus Aurelius—scholar, military leader, Roman Emperor, and Stoic philosopher of 2nd century AD Rome—found solace and strength in moments of inner stillness. Despite the chaos surrounding him, he would retreat into his thoughts, penning reflections that reveal his pursuit of lofty ideals and his honest acknowledgment of imperfections.
Join us as we delve into Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and explore how the art of reflection can bring more depth and meaning to our daily lives.
Entries are restricted after 6.15 pm. The talk will last one hour. After the event, participants can stay back for questions and interaction with New Acropolis Pune volunteers.

In the fast-paced lives we lead, it can be easy to get lost in doing many things. In the year 1600, one of the great Tibetan Lamas decided to draw a special picture in order to teach his disciples about the Art of Concentration. What is the important role of concentration according to Tibetan Buddhism? What can we learn from this special painting that can enable us to live with more clarity and meaning in today’s world?
Join us as we draw inspiration and lessons from the book ‘Concentration and Inner Awakening’ authored by Fernand Schwarz.
Entries are restricted after 6.15 pm. The talk will last one hour. After the event, participants can stay back for questions and interaction with New Acropolis Pune volunteers.
