In this session, we will explore how Stoic philosophy can help us face grief and loss with greater clarity and calm. Is grief a sign of weakness, or a natural part of life to be understood rather than overcome? Drawing on the writings of Seneca and other ancient Stoics, we will reflect on the nature of grief, the impermanence of life, and ways to cultivate resilience and acceptance.

To facilitate a lively discussion, we will read brief extracts from Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. A printout will be provided.

This event is completely free.

**\*\*Please note the time and venue.\*\*** It is a simple meeting room, but there are vending machines in the centre, so you may want to bring some change so that you can get a drink.

There is a waitlist, so if you need to change your reservation, please do so promptly to allow others enough notice to attend.

The group is non-religious and apolitical, focusing on practical philosophy.

No previous knowledge is needed. Newcomers welcome!
