What we’re about
Welcome to the Stoic Philosophy Practice Group! Please join our main group to RSVP to all our events - https://www.meetup.com/stoicism/
Our group is dedicated to the exploration and practical application of Stoic philosophy in our everyday lives. Our goal is to foster a supportive community where individuals can deepen their understanding of Stoicism and cultivate the skills necessary to embody its principles.
At our events, we'll dive into thought-provoking discussions, explore practical exercises, and share personal insights and experiences. From exploring Stoic texts to reflecting on real-life scenarios, we strive to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that Stoicism becomes a tangible and transformative force in our lives.
Join us on this journey of self-improvement and philosophical growth. Connect with like-minded individuals, learn from one another, and embark on a path towards living a more virtuous, resilient, and tranquil life. Together, we'll navigate the challenges and triumphs of practicing Stoicism in the modern world, drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of this ancient philosophy.

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 temperance, discipline, self-restraint, and the utility of self-denial. We’ll also be going over a practice designed to help us learn to hate our vices, instead of loving them.Here's the video we'll be watching: https://youtu.be/G1nM9UCJCIs?si=Y4YfW181FSTjimQR&t=4903

"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
