Name: In-Person Secular Social
Start: 2025-12-21T00:00:00.000Z
Location: Chuck's Hop Shop Central District

Let's get together before church and discuss this week's passages from The Daily Stoic! Each day of the year has a corresponding "devotional reading" (so to speak). Each week we discuss the readings since our previous meeting, from the previous Monday through the Sunday of the meeting, and share what resonated with us, what we found profound, and what insights we can apply to what's going on in our lives.

Each reading is about 3 minutes long. They're all self-contained, so you don't need to worry about catching up - feel free to jump in on any week's session!

This is an online event hosted on Zoom. You can register for it here:

This is one of those events where more people show up than RSVP on Meetup, so don't be discouraged from attending just because of a low RSVP count.

People talk a lot about having "healthy boundaries" -- but what does that actually mean? What makes a boundary "healthy"? For that matter... what makes it a boundary at all? And what stops someone from saying, "My boundary is that I get to yell at you" or "my boundary is that you have to give me half of your money so that it's fair"?

In this talk, we'll cover how to distinguish a boundary from a request and why it's so important that we do so. And we'll talk about how to tell when someone is abusing the concept of "healthy boundaries" in order to gain unhealthy power over you.

This week's speaker will be Mikki Phoenix.

After the talk, we'll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.

Please join us for our in-person Secular Social!

We will be meeting at **Chucks Hop Shop** in the **Central District**. Lots of amazing beers and ciders to try, as well as non-alcoholic options. This venue is kid and dog friendly. Limited food is available inside, but they usually have a food truck on site and they welcome outside food, so feel free to patronize any of the nearby restaurants (Tacos Chukis!) or the PCC hot food deli.

There is only street parking, so if you are able to take public transit that is advisable (bus 48 and 2 are nearby).

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
