Sometimes we “agree to disagree,” but our long-term goal is to improve our minds through group discussions. In general, Stoicism teaches us how to deal with difficult people and events, how to avoid anger and worry, and above all, how to practice moderation in all aspects of our lives. This meeting is free and open to the public.
