In 2022 she joined the board of The Stoic Fellowship, a nonprofit that builds, fosters, and connects communities of Stoics around the world. She is also co-founder, along with Eve Riches, of the new nonprofit Stoicare, which aims to share Stoicism with everyone who cares about people and the planet.

Her latest book is Journal Like a Stoic: A 90-Day Stoicism Program to Live with Greater Acceptance, Less Judgment, and Deeper Intentionality.

She will be joining us for an hour at the start of our meeting (From 7pm to 8pm) where we will cover the upcoming Stoic Summit Event, her current projects and how we can get involved, and a Q&A session to round out the hour. The remainder of our meeting will cover the next chapter of our book.

In general, Stoicism teaches us how to handle difficult people and events, how to avoid anger and worry, and overall to use moderation in all aspects of our lives. We will discuss how Stoic practice can lead to a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and how it relates to science, culture, philosophy, other belief systems, and pop culture (books and movies). If we differ in our opinions, then "we agree to disagree". The long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions. Our group does NOT discuss religion or politics.

This event is free and open to the public.
