Join us for this free members-only event on Locals.com!

If you're interested in going deeper than just the intro classes and exploring the community side of Stoicism, please join us for Sunday Stoa.

We'll kick off the event with 10 minutes of guided meditation, followed by 15 minutes of journaling practice. Then we use a combination of break out groups and larger group discussions to go deeper into a specific topic. This week, we'll be listening to Book 1, Chapters 18 and 19 of the Discourses of Epictetus, *That we ought not to be angry with the erring* and *How ought we to bear ourselves toward tyrants?*, and then discussing the ideas they put forth.

We'll start at 4pm EST and go as long as people have time to hang out. If you'd like to skip the meditation and journaling, please join us at 4:30pm.

Sunday Stoa

Online event

Join us for an evening of Stoic philosophy and discussion. We'll kick off the event with a short presentation exploring one of the core ideas of Stoicism, focusing on its real-world application with some practices drawn from the texts. Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.

This week, we’ll be discussing what the Stoics believed and how they acted, the cardinal virtues, tranquility of mind, the Stoic Sage, and role of mindfulness in Stoicism. We’ll also be going over three practices; one from Seneca, one Epictetus, and one from a different-but-complementary philosophical tradition.

Thanks so much for your interest, and please remember:

*"There is no such thing as good or bad fortune for the individual; we live in common. And no one can live happily who has regard to himself alone and transforms everything into a question of his own utility; you must live for your neighbor, if you would live for yourself."* \- Seneca\, Letters from a Stoic\, Letter 48

Stoicism 101: Week 1 - What is Stoicism?

Join us for an evening of Stoic philosophy and discussion. We'll kick off the event with a short presentation exploring one of the core ideas of Stoicism, focusing on its real-world application with some practices drawn from the texts. Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.

This week, we’ll be discussing how thinking about death in the right way can help us stop wasting our lives. We'll talk about how we waste our time, what we should be spending it on instead, and how to finish our lives each day. We'll also discuss two practices to help us at this task; Reading & Writing, and a mindfulness practice designed to help us remember *that not even the next hour is guaranteed*.
