What we're about
This is a new monthly MeetUp for people interested in Stoicism and Stoic philosophy in the Greater Milwaukee area, hosted at the Shorewood Public Library.
We'll be discussing modern day interpretations and applications of Stoicism, classic Stoic texts, thinkers, and ideas, how people use and live out the philosophy today - and whatever else members of the group would like to talk about.
Some months - for instance during October, which features International Stoic Week - we may hold additional events.
Upcoming events (4+)
Weekly reading will be:
Read Letter 58 of the Moral letters to Lucilius by Seneca the Younger
Topic: We are reading through the Moral letters to Lucilius. We will read and discuss each letter. Even if you don't do it the conversation will not be diminished much if you do not do the exercises.
We are Reading the RICHARD M. GUMMERE translation
All letters can be found here

***
General: We will discuss Stoic Philosophy in general, I will present a few Stoic practices that can be directly employed in your life in order to reach a little more equanimity in this crazy world and discuss specific reading that are encouraged but not necessarily required to be read.
This weekly MeetUp of the MKE Stoic Fellowship is being organized by MKE Stoic Fellowship member, and Graduate of the College of Stoic Philosophers - School of Essential Studies, Dan Hayes.
We are meeting on the internet. I will post a hangouts link in the messages of this meetup just before the meeting for you all to join.
As with all of our events, all are welcome!
