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

This week, we’ll be finishing the course by discussing how to put everything together into a personal Stoic practice, the levels of Stoicism, and how much we can expect to achieve. We'll also discuss an example of a Stoic daily plan.
