Upcoming Stoic Events

Autumn is the season of Stoic events, and I’d like to share three I will be participating in this year:

• Conversations with Modern Stoicism (Sep. 9)

• Stoic Wisdom for Mental Health and Wellbeing Professionals (Sep. 28)

• Stoicon (Oct. 21)

And one in-person event hosted by my colleagues at The Aurelius Foundation:

• Stoic Icons: The Legacy of Seneca, Epictetus, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius (Sep. 23)

See below for more details and links to each event. And to see more upcoming Stoic gatherings happening online and all over the world, check out the Modern Stoicism events calendar.

Conversations with Modern Stoicism (Sep. 9)

Every month Modern Stoicism hosts a free online event to highlight a particular Stoic topic. It’s designed to be interactive—audience members have a chance to interact with the speaker and with each other. The result is some pretty remarkable in-depth discussions about Stoic living. In September I’ll be speaking about an important and frequently misunderstood topic: good emotions in Stoicism.

Stoic Wisdom for Mental Health and Wellbeing Professionals (Sep. 28)

Hosted by 501(c(3) nonprofit organization Stoicare, this is a continuing professional development event for psychologists, therapists, counselors, coaches, mentors, social workers, and everyone else who works in fields related to mental health and wellbeing. Topics include:

• Powerful Stoic principles to help yourself and others

• Effective techniques to use with clients

We have a stellar lineup of speakers from a variety of mental health and wellbeing backgrounds, including keynote speaker Tim Lebon, substance abuse therapist Scott Corey, mindfulness and leadership consultant Becky Schmooke, and many others.

Stoicon 2023: Beautiful Stoics (Oct. 21)

This year’s Stoicon has an extra special theme: Beautiful Stoics! I am so excited about this program—so many of my favorite philosophers talking about the connection between Stoicism and beauty. We will also get to hear a musical recital by Sharon Lebell, a talk on “Dancing with the Stoics” by Nancy Sherman, and a keynote address by noted psychologist John Vervaeke. It will be a one-of-a-kind event!
