Whether you are new to Buddhism or have previous experience, the principles we will explore in this course will encourage you to look deeper within, unravel inner obstacles, and engage in practices that lead to freedom from attachment, judgment, and inner turmoil.

Through exploring the works of the great Stoic thinkers—Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius—you'll gain insight into the core principles of Stoic thought, such as the power of perspective, acceptance of what we cannot control, and the pursuit of virtue as the highest goal. Join us as we uncover strategies for handling stress, making wise decisions, and developing a mindset of gratitude and strength.

Epicureanism: Pleasure and Materialism opens up one of the most transformative philosophies of the ancient world. This course is designed not just to explore Epicurean ideas but to engage with them as living, practical tools for finding peace and contentment in our own lives. 

We’ll dive into the Epicurean notion of pleasure—not as mere indulgence, but as a path toward a tranquil, fulfilled life rooted in simple joys and mindful experiences. Together, we’ll examine how materialism, in its ancient sense, invites us to value the natural world, our bodily existence, and the present moment. Through reflection and practice, you’ll uncover what the Epicurean good life can mean for you today.
