About us
This meetup is a friendly space for anyone interested in building resilience through Stoic wisdom and other helpful philosophical traditions. We meet for rational, respectful conversation focused on practical tools for living well—calming the mind, strengthening character, and applying ideas directly to everyday life. Open to beginners and longtime practitioners alike, and enriched by insights from Stoicism, CBT/REBT, mindfulness, and any approach that helps us live with clarity and courage. We look to Stoic virtues and wisdom the way ancient navigators used Polaris- the North Star - as steady, reliable guides that help us steer through life’s shifting winds. We welcome wisdom wherever it appears—across time, culture, and creed—if it leads toward understanding, self-command, and goodwill.
Please take note of our meeting guidelines:
Be positive, be respectful, and focus on learning and practice rather than arguments or politics.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Seneca on Crowds
·OnlineOnlineWhat effects do crowds have on our character?
In his Letter to Lucilius (7), Seneca addresses this question and also gives some interesting historical details about the games in ancient Rome. Join us for this important conversation. We will be on Zoom, and the link is posted closer to the meeting time.
We'll provide excerpts for discussion- but here are two links to online versions if you'd like to read ahead (note, this letter is about the games and can be graphic!).
