What we’re about

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!

Sat, Sep 27, 2025, 2:30 PM AESTStoics in the park: Centennial Park Sydney
Centennial Homestead, Centennial Park
Unlike 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.

Join us to read through and discuss Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Google books has a FREE PDF you can download.

No need to do any homework, we will read together and discuss. Am looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

We like to meet outside on the deck at the CH Pantry, it is shaded by some beautiful figtrees, however it is not protected by the rain. In case of wet weather we will meet at the Vernon Pavillion. The Pavillion is completely covered, situated on Parkes Drive, opposite the Duck Pond, next to the silver coffee van.

BYO - something to sit on (e.g. towel)

The Imperial at Clifton, Clifton
Socrates Café are gatherings around the world where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange philosophical perspectives based on their experiences, using the Socratic Method.

A typical Socrates Cafe group meets in a public place, is open to anyone who wishes to attend, and dive deep into dialogue on a particular topic which is chosen by vote or which is announced shortly in advance. There are no prerequisites, and no reading or other preparation is required.

Please post in the comments a question you'd like to nominate for us to explore Socratically.

Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 6:30 PM AEDTAlex Lykos NEANDERTHAL – another encore performance
The Factory Theatre, Sydney
join our social get-together, to support an encore of NEANDERTHAL**, from Marrickville local Alex Lykos.

Alex Lykos came from humble beginnings; a proud Greek-Australian and Mathematics Teacher in Marrickville, he crossed over into the Arts and made an impact! From local theatre to the big screen, I feel so proud to have witnessed the evolution of Alex—first as a playwright, then as a screenwriter, and now, stepping boldly into the world of stand-up comedy.

Before the show, we can meet in the beer garden food trucks on-site—I highly recommend the Jerk Chicken!

📌 Tickets are selling fast—secure yours soon!
