Philadelphia Stoa

Join the Philadelphia Ethical Society and Philadelphia Stoa for the second of three enriching seminars focused on practical exercises that will enable you to cultivate personal virtue and achieve excellence. Engage with the enduring wisdom of Stoicism and Ethical Culture, two philosophical traditions that champion rationality, ethical living, and the pursuit of moral virtues. This Sunday’s seminar centers on the Stoic "Discipline of Action," guiding us to align our actions with virtue in social interactions, thereby leading lives rooted in integrity and purpose.

Want to meet fellow Stoics but don’t know where to start? Community Practice & Socials are an open forum for Stoics to gather and discuss issues in an open-ended and relaxed atmosphere. The meetings will typically open with a short meditation and text reading, followed by a group discussion. No preparation, no homework. Come as you are. After the hour finishes, come grab lunch with us and make new connections!
