Brisbane Stoics

Our little group meets monthly with 20-plus members turning up each meet. We focus on a broad range of stoic topics, which we present in a lecture and discussion format. We are interested in the Stoic idea of fellowship and encourage our members to build supportive friendships with one another. For more information check out our site at www.brisbanestoics.com

Copenhagen Stoa

We are still meeting monthly using a virtual platform as we now consistently have members from various places in Denmark and the southern part of Sweden. We are still testing a new format where the topic is formulated as a question as it encourages more discussion and participation and gives us a chance to also practice the Socratic Method.

A great summer picnic with good food, music and fellowship. The most fun event we do is hiking (walk & talk) , and will probably have done about 10 by year's end. Celebrated with Redwood Stoa their 10th anniversary and a milestone for us to look forward to in 2028 !

Our Stoa is lively and active, with regular meetings since its foundation, in January 2022. Discussions are open, and every participant is free to propose a topic. We discuss Stoicism as a way of life, daily practice, the role of free will, how to master emotions, the role of reason and its bound with the Logos of the Universe. Meetings are organized via MeetUp platform. Join us at www.facebook.com/groups/munichstoics/

Redwood Stoa

Celebrating our 10th year as a continuously-meeting monthly stoa, we recently had two in-person meetings - one in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and one in the Regional Botanic Garden in the hills above Berkeley. At the garden, we were able to sit in the shade of a small redwood reserve to have our discussion. Thanks to everyone who came; our next meeting (November) will be on line.

Rheinland Stoiker

2023 ist our year of the virtues. Our group continues growing. We started meeting online on a regular basis every other Thursday and discussing the virtues in depth and “in reverse”. That means we’re reverse-engineering the meaning of the virtues based on the text of the ancient Stoics and modern academics - thus avoiding to apply our own meaning to what each virtue means. Everybody can join our meetings, which are held in german language and don’t need any specific level of knowledge. You can find more about use here: https://www.stoiker.net/gemeinschaft/rheinland-stoiker

Stoa Gallica

Our French-speaking group continues to grow (80+ members). We're holding our third Stoicon-x in Paris on November 25 at the Université Paris Dauphine (https://www.billetweb.fr/stoicon-x-paris-2023). We have also translated the Stoic Week booklet into French to enable our members who are less at ease with English to participate in Stoic Week (6-12 November). Every month, we organize face-to-face Stoic meetings for around 80 people in Lausanne (Switzerland), as well as virtual meetings for our members, who are scattered throughout the French-speaking world (mainly France, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada). Find out more about our events and activities on our website: https://stoagallica.fr/

Stoa Helvetica

Stoa Helvetica has been in existence for just over a year and currently has three (!) members. I am sure that we will find many new members in the coming months and years.

Stoics of Daytona Beach

This is a small group, but some of the members will be attending Stoicon this fall year.

Stoics of Washington, D.C.

The Washington Stoics have been continuing to have casual meetings at a local bar & grill roughly once a month. Lately we have been working through the Meditations, choosing a few books at a time to designate for discussions. We have primarily been using Facebook to organize events (https://www.facebook.com/events/254649714042657/), but we also use an email list to try and include members who aren’t on Facebook (https://groups.google.com/g/stoics-of-washington-dc/about).

Tampa Stoics

An active group with 2 meetings a month (one discussion, one walking meditation). Edin is the organizer and writes the outlines each month. The group is currently reviewing the book “Stoicism and Emotion” by Margaret Graver. The group is open to the public; anyone can attend and build their Stoic practice. Note: they have changed venues recently to accommodate more people, so please visit the meetup site for the new address: https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Stoics/

Manchester Stoics

Continue to meet monthly online via Google Meet, details can be found via our Facebook group here: https://m.facebook.com/groups/398232340356000/ or by contacting me directly at [email protected]

The Practicing Stoic

We continue our close reading of The Enchiridion of Epictetus with in-person, twice monthly gatherings. A typical meeting will consist of 5 to 7 people, a few of whom will be new to the subject. We have particularly enjoyed the discussions and camaraderie of the group. It is low-key and inviting, yet not without flourishes into wide ranging topics.

Tokyo Stoics

We meet on the last Saturday of the month and are now in our fifth year. We have over 500 members, and limit the in-person events to 25 people at the request of the host venue. Meetings are in English, and we have participants from all over the world. Last year, we loosely based meetings on David Fideler’s Breakfast With Seneca, focussing on a different chapter each month. Using this book to set the theme, each meeting was based around several longish excerpts of Seneca. Having stuck with this for a full year, we recently moved on to Pierre Hadot’s The Inner Citadel, preparing worksheets with excerpts from the Meditations in a similar way. We’re planning to start a Japanese-language meeting too, with the first meeting set for November. https://www.meetup.com/Tokyo-Stoicism-Meetup-Group/
