Welcome to Melbourne City Stoics
Salvete!

Melbourne City Stoics is a group dedicated to the discussion and practice of Traditional Stoicism. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your Stoic journey, we welcome all who share an interest in this timeless philosophy.

Founded in 2019, we originally began as a Meetup group, steadily growing over the years before transitioning to Facebook due to rising costs. Now, we’re expanding our presence with this website to continue fostering thoughtful discussions and deeper engagement with Stoic ideas.

Our meetings focus on Stoic literature, including works like Moral Letters to Lucilius by Seneca, while also exploring how Stoic principles apply to various aspects of life.

“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.” — Epictetus

We meet once a month, typically midday on a selected weekend in Melbourne’s city center. If you’re interested in exploring Stoic thought, engaging in robust discussions, and gaining new perspectives, we’d love to have you join us.
