About us
Unlike other philosophies named after individuals, Stoicism takes its name from a place—the Stoa, where people gathered to discuss life’s deepest questions. This makes Stoicism uniquely accessible to all—a philosophy not confined to scholars but open to everyone, just as it was in ancient times.
Now, centuries later, we continue this tradition. 📖 No homework, no pressure—just open minds and engaging discussion. Let’s explore resilience, virtue, and practical philosophy together. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Stoics by the beach Reading and Discussion Group
Cronulla RSL, 38 Gerrale Street, Cronulla, Sydney, AUUnlike other philosophies, Stoicism was named after a place not a person, making it accessible to ALL people. In ancient greco-roman times people would meet at the Stoa, where they would discuss Stoic Philosophy. We can meet in the park just as the stoic sages 1000s of years ago.
