    This is an informal Stoic philosophy discussion hosted by the New England Stoics. We meet to listen and learn from each other. Often our discussions cover introductory topics in Stoicism. All levels of experience welcome!

    If you're interested in learning more about Stoic philosophy, you can read an introduction here: https://www.stoicfellowship.com/assets/pdfs/Stoicism-101.pdf

    We facilitate an open dialogue, but we do not tolerate aggression or personal attacks.

  • Stoicism Practice Class

    Online event

    Our Stoicism Practice Class is a free event where you can learn and apply key principles and practices of Stoic philosophy with the goal of developing a virtuous lifestyle and living a happy life. Anyone is welcome to attend, from beginners to more experienced Stoics.

    We work through the three Stoic disciplines: Desire, Action, and Assent. The curriculum draws on The Handbook for New Stoics by Gregory Lopez and Massimo Pigliucci, along with other resources our instructors, Marc and Mike, find useful. Each lesson is self-contained, so you can join at any point. However, if you attend the classes in sequence, they do build on each other.

    We meet on the third Sunday of the month for 2 hours from 7 pm to 9 pm ET. Below is our 2023 Spring semester schedule.

    Jan 22 Discipline of Desire: Desiring the Good, Big and Small
    Feb 19 Discipline of Desire: Preparing for Adversity
    Mar 19 Discipline of Action: Mindfulness and Humility
    Apr 16 Discipline of Action: Being Pro-Social
    May 21 Discipline of Assent: Applying Reason to Impressions and Desires

    Donations are appreciated. We use donations to pay for the Meetup, website (nestoics.org), and event materials. We do not profit from donations. You can donate on our main Meetup page via Pledge.

  • Women's Philosopher's Cafe

    Online event

    Are you a woman? and would you like to explore how the Philosophy of Stoicism can help you navigate the obstacles of life and bring peace of mind to the most challenging of moments? How to develop Stoical Practices in your day to day life to maintain composure and tranquility no matter what life may throw our way? Women seem to juggle a life that requires us to be many people rolled up into one. Please join our meeting to use as an open forum to discuss the challenges each of us face as women in relationships of all facets of life. Let us as a group explore concerns and stresses. We can develop a community for discussion that is indicative to our gender outlook and then to face a world with our passions and goals in clear understanding first to ourselves and then to navigate with confidence as we enter our day to day lives.

    This forum is to inspire women. It is also to encourage women to be comfortable in joining the discussions and organized classes of our New England Stoics that meets every other Sunday enriching us as a whole and educating each other as to how to handle a modern life full of conundrums!

    All you need to bring is your open mind, brilliant being, and perhaps pen and paper to take notes on your thoughts and inspirations to be shared.
    This is an ONLINE event .
