Sydney Stoics Topic Dinner: The Art of Temperance

Join us for our first quarterly discussion dinner 🍽️. This night marks the Autumn Equinox—the precise moment in the Earth’s orbit where day and night sit in perfect equilibrium. During the evening of balance in the universe, we gather to discuss the Stoic virtue of Temperance (Sophrosyne).

Temperance is not about deprivation; it is the wisdom of self-regulation and the strength to remain steady like a coastal headland amidst the shifting tides.

"If you seek tranquillity, do less. Or (more accurately) do what is essential... which brings the double satisfaction of doing less, better." — Marcus Aurelius
