Stoicism Practice Class

Our Stoicism Practice Class is a free event where you can learn and apply key principles and practices of Stoic philosophy with the goal of developing a virtuous lifestyle and living a happy life. Anyone is welcome to attend, from beginners to more experienced Stoics.

We work through the three Stoic disciplines: Desire, Action, and Assent. The curriculum draws on The Handbook for New Stoics by Gregory Lopez and Massimo Pigliucci, along with other resources our instructors, Marc and Mike, find useful. Each lesson is self-contained, so you can join at any point. However, if you attend the classes in sequence, they do build on each other.

We meet on the third Sunday of the month for 2 hours from 7 pm to 9 pm ET. Below is our 2023 Spring semester schedule.

Jan 22 Discipline of Desire: Desiring the Good, Big and Small
Feb 19 Discipline of Desire: Preparing for Adversity
Mar 19 Discipline of Action: Mindfulness and Humility
Apr 16 Discipline of Action: Being Pro-Social
May 21 Discipline of Assent: Applying Reason to Impressions and Desires
