Why does Stoicism resonate so strongly with us today? Maybe it was their steadfastness in the face of great difficulties. Or maybe it was their simple and direct application of wisdom to the practicalities of daily life. Or just maybe it was how they epitomized virtue in a world that was disintegrating all around them under the strain of corrupted attitudes and moral ambiguity.
Come celebrate World Philosophy Day with us as we explore Stoic virtues and values that can reconnect us to our common humanity.
We will profile the lives and wisdom of three of the most inspiring Stoics in a workshop format that includes writing and sharing our ideas on each philosopher and how they may be applied directly to our own lives.
Our eclectic approach to the philosophical quest serves as a way to discover our unity through diversity as we seek the underlying truths that connect us all. Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into the meaning & wisdom of Stoicism with us!
