Culture

 

In New Acropolis we not only recognize the prevailing need to rescue and develop, from an integral perspective, the art, the science, the mysticism and the policy, but we make an effort for giving back to the Human Being his skills to change himself  through the empowerment of all his capacities.

That’s why we rely on volunteers within our members who work arduously for building ways across each of these disciplines, putting into constant practice all kinds of activities related to them

• Tristan Institute of Arts
• Alexandria Program
• Institute of Philosophical Martial Arts
• Institute of Hunan Science, Hermes
• Cultural Activities (chats, conferences, etc)

Tristan Institute of ArtesRETURN

The Tristan International Institute of Arts promotes artistic activities in different countries of the world, always orientated with a humanist - philosophical profile.

All of them turn around a common axis: the practice of Arts as embody of the beauty and as achievement of a balance that must be reflected in all the aspects of the human being, collaborating in the biophysics harmonization, the development intellectual, moral and intuitive.

The Institute was founded in 1988, by Professor Delia Steinberg Guzman, chairwoman of the I.O.N.A. and at present Walter Gutdeutsch is in charge of it.

The disciplines that are practised in the Tristan International Institute of Arts are:

• Music
• Dance
• Theatre
• Painting
• Sculpture

The institute develops activities in four different areas:

1.     Artistic Area, considering that a professional deep technology skill is the necessary basis for any art, but that is not a purpose itself, but a way for the artistic expression.

2.     Educational Area, as way of training across an integral education. In every human being there is a slept artist who expects to be woken up.

3.     Cultural Area, by means of concerts, exhibitions, musical representations, recitals etc.

4.     Philosophical Area, across the compared research, the essential values must be taken up again of any art that the ancient and modern schools of philosophy contribute.

Alexandria ProgramRETURN

Inspired by the ideal one which was the city of Alexandria, as place of meeting culture and systems of knowledge, the program of I.O.N.A. that takes this name has been created in order to gather, to digitize and to issue research works, magazines, books, manuals, bulletins realized and published during the last 50 years in a dozen of different languages in 200 centres of New Acropolis spread in more than 50 countries of the world.

Among these there are included the research works presented in the international yearly conferences of philosophy organized since 1978 and which have included subjects such as philosophy of the sciences up unknown philosophers of the renaissance and the moral philosophy.

It is an intention of New Acropolis to make available great part of this intellectual and humanist effort, taking advantage of the possibilities that Internet offers. The first part of this project which consists of the digitalization of this material, is in an advanced phase and it will lead to the second phase in which there will distribute an important part of these documents through free publications in Internet, reissues, audio documents in mp3 format, audio-visual and others.

Institute of Philosophical Martial Arts “Bodhidharma” RETURN

The International Institute of Philosophical Martial Arts Bodhidharma was born with the purpose of finding common points between Martial Arts and Philosophy.

Beyond the development of the technical, tactical and strategic aspects, very important in the martial arts, seek a rescue of the spirit of the martial arts across a philosophical conscience, promoting a deep knowledge of the cultural martial traditions, on the basis that the physical movements are symbolic reflections of the nature and of the psychic conditions of the pupil.

Through its programs of practical classes there is promoted the control of the fear, of the anxiety and of the violence, besides a system of training with the aim to preserve the health of the pupil.
It is a philosophical way for those who look for deeper horizons, a reunion with theirselves across the essence of the martial arts.

The following styles are promoted:

• Nei kung
• I ai do
• Archery
• Tae kwon do
• Tai chi chuan
• Karate do
• Ai ki do

It’s organized:

• Tournaments.
• Courses of self- defence.
• Conferences.
• Seminaries.
• Demonstrations.
• Research about culture and philosophy of Martial Arts.
• Yearly meetings, nationals and internationals.

Institute of Human Science, Hermes RETURN



Through the Institute of Human Sciences "Hermes", the I.O.N.A. canalizes through the roots of the past all that could promote the future humanism, inside the frame of what we can call a culture of the renaissance.

The principal characteristic of the investigations and studies that promotes this Institute is the deep interest and commitment with the dimension of the human factor, and its implications in its relations among men, nature and the spiritual thing. What we propose is a new anthropologic spirit and the application of innovative forms of investigation that rehabilitate the mythical and symbolic dimension of the human being.

Between its more outstanding activities, we can mention this year the International Conferences of Sacred Geography, and the study trips around the symbolism of the different cultures.

The multiplicity that Hermes's figure transmits and its versatility inspires the research teams that are established in these moments in different countries.

Cultural Activities (chats, conferences, etc) RETURN



Customs, clothing, religion, rituals, beliefs, reflect the cultural values of a society. They are these values those that we hoard and transmit across the time to recreate the spiritual wealth of our people.

The culture gives the man the aptitude to think about himself. It’s her, the one that makes us specifically human beings. Through her the man expresses, become more aware of himself, looks for tirelessly new meanings, and creates works that go beyond him.

Therefore New Acropolis stimulates the knowledge and experience of all worldwide cultural expressions so the one that approaches to our activities extends his vision and leads it to meet again with the best of them and himself.
