What we’re about

We are a group of individuals who are interested in learning how to use Stoic Philosophy to not only manage but excel against difficulties that we all invariably face in the modern world.

This group was started to meet and learn from other people who are studying the brilliant, insightful ideas of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and other philosophers.

Contradictions of Stoicism
The Good Home Mt Eden, 37 Normanby Road, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024, Auckland , NZ
Come and join us for an open and engaging conversation about Stoicism its strengths, its contradictions. Was Marcus Aurelius truly the ideal Stoic he’s often portrayed to be? And when we talk about “living according to nature,” whose idea of nature are we really following?

Together, we’ll explore these questions and more, with the goal of gaining a deeper and more balanced understanding of both the benefits and limitations of Stoic philosophy. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a longtime Stoicism enthusiast or just curious
