Brisbane Stoics Christmas 2025 Meetup
Join us for our festive Christmas meetup to celebrate the year and connect with fellow members!
This month we're taking a break from our usual presentation format to reflect on the past year together. We invite you to bring a brief reflection on a lesson you've learned or a theme that's been on your mind this year. Sharing is completely optional, but we'd love to hear your thoughts if you feel comfortable.
What to bring:
- A reflection or theme from the year (optional to share)
- Food to share (if possible)
- Your own plate, cup, and chair
Location: We'll meet in the park outside the library. If weather doesn't cooperate, we'll move into the library meeting room.
We look forward to celebrating the festive season with you!
