Join us for an evening of Stoic philosophy and discussion. We'll kick off the event with a short presentation exploring one of the core ideas of Stoicism, focusing on its real-world application with some practices drawn from the texts. Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.

This week, we’ll be discussing the right way to receive and return benefits so that we build bonds of love and interdependence with others. We'll talk about how gratitude returns the debt of kindness, how to deal with ingratitude, and whether we should be grateful to God and Nature. We'll end by discussing a practice from the texts designed to help us put all this advice into action in our daily lives.

Here's the video we'll be watching: [https://youtu.be/G1nM9UCJCIs?si=Cf5MJnIhyNyD_lTV&t=10319](https://youtu.be/G1nM9UCJCIs?si=Cf5MJnIhyNyD_lTV&t=10319)

And here's the text, along with the rest of the resources for the course: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-6r2KFyv7f-vChnX-9eKovdFsQ6DYoc_CV5RZtJb9XA/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-6r2KFyv7f-vChnX-9eKovdFsQ6DYoc_CV5RZtJb9XA/edit?usp=sharing)

Thanks so much for your interest, and please remember:

*"There is no such thing as good or bad fortune for the individual; we live in common. And no one can live happily who has regard to himself alone and transforms everything into a question of his own utility; you must live for your neighbor, if you would live for yourself."* \- Seneca\, Letters from a Stoic\, Letter 48

Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.

This week, we’ll be discussing the Happy Life, Stoic joy, and how our pursuit of virtue should also make us the happiest people. We'll also talk about how to deal with critics, and how practice Stoicism if you aren't temperamentally suited for it.

Stoicism 101: Week 11 - The Happy Life

If you're interested in going deeper than just the intro classes and exploring the community side of Stoicism, please join us for Sunday Stoa.

We begin at **4:00 PM (ET)** with 10 minutes of Stoic breath meditation followed by 15 minutes of writing practice.
At **4:30 PM**, we move into introductions and social time.
At **5:00 PM**, we’ll listen to selections from the original Stoic texts and then discuss the ideas they present.

This week, we’ll be listening to Letters 48 and 49 from *Seneca’s Letters from a Stoic*: *On quibbling as unworthy of the philosopher* and *On the shortness of life*.

Here's the text and video if you’d like to check them out

Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.
