Stoicism 101: Week 12 - How to Practice 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 finishing the course by discussing how to put everything together into a personal Stoic practice, the levels of Stoicism, and how much we can expect to achieve. We'll also discuss an example of a Stoic daily plan.

Here's the video we'll be watching: https://youtu.be/G1nM9UCJCIs?si=79sCVKbB6IcabEiz&t=13962

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
