  • Panta Rhei - The world is in flux and we're moving with it

    by Simona Panayiotou

    The ancient Greek philosophical concept of Panta Rhei —“everything flows” — taught by the philosopher Heraclitus around 500 BC, conveys the idea that reality is in a state of constant change and becoming. True understanding, he believed, comes from accepting and adapting to this continuous flow rather than resisting it.

    This feels especially poignant now, as the world reshapes itself before our very eyes. Seasons shift. Markets evolve. People move across oceans in search of possibility.
