Seneca & The Stoic Response to Grief

This is the Monday night meeting for Orlando Stoics. It's online.

This week we are reading 2 articles on grief and how Stoicism can help reduce the impact of grief on your life. The participants are welcome to bring personal experiences to the meeting, to gain advice from others. Also, the second article selected for this week is optional: it’s from the New Yorker magazine and talks about the tragedies in the life of Seneca.

In general, Stoicism teaches us how to handle difficult people and events, how to avoid anger and worry, and overall to build community and use moderation in all aspects of our lives.

Our group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and how it relates to science, culture, philosophy, other belief systems, and even pop culture (books and movies). If we differ in our opinions, then "we agree to disagree". The long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions.

This meeting is free and open to the public.
