Attendees at our events have given the following feedback
‘It was a wonderful day with excellent presentations’
‘Everything that was said made sense, fell into place and completely resonated with me. It was a wonderful opportunity to pause and take it all in. Everyone was also so welcoming and friendly’
‘This was my first experience, I was a bit reluctant with concerns of “cult-like” participation or feeling I would be preached to. It was in the wonderful introduction that these concerns were instantly dismissed. Not a religious nor cultural experience, thank you ’
‘Overall it was informative, inspiring, thought provoking and skill building, speakers were diverse and authentic’
“Thank you for the effort and the care. I really appreciate it and really enjoyed the experiences and the insights of the thoughtful and benevolent people we had there.”

About Stoic Week
Stoic Week is an annual event that invites everyone to ‘live like a Stoic for a week’.
Started in the UK, since 2012 over 20,000 people have signed up to give Stocism a try. Participants complete a questionnaire before starting and another at the end that enables organisers to assess how much following Stoic life guidance has benefitted participants.
To date the results have consistently shown that people who give Stoicism a try see a reduction in negative emotions and an increase in life satisfaction.
Melbourne’s event will introduce interested Victorians to Stoicism and help them understand how to live like a Stoic, why it is becoming increasingly popular as a way to live and how to apply Stoic principles to the world today.
