Mysteries of Flourishing

The 2nd edition of the New Eleusis Symposia will take place between 25-27 September, 2024 with the central theme “Mysteries of Flourishing” deriving from the Aristotelian concept of Eudaemonia “Ευδαιμονία”. Human flourishing necessitates the flourishing of nature, all forms of life, communities, and even democracy. This year, we will once again invite internationally distinguished representatives from the fields of social and environmental sustainability, education, science, technology, and the arts. Both theorists and practitioners will join the audience on an exciting journey through our inner and outer spaces to examine the concept of flourishing and how we can collectively achieve it.

"At Eleusis, one realises, if never before, that there is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy. At Eleusis, one becomes adapted to the cosmos. Outwardly Eleusis may seem broken, disintegrated with the crumbled past; actually, Eleusis is still intact and it is we who are broken, dispersed, crumbling to dust. Eleusis lives; lives eternally in the midst of a dying world."
Henry Miller
