Stoicism and the Art of Living: Impermanence, Loss and Death [day course]

Date

Wednesday 18th September 2024

10am until 3pm

Venue

Guildford Institute, Ward Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 4LH

Fees

£42.50 | Concessions £40 | Members £35

Description

In The Stoics accepted that death, our own and that of others, was an inevitable part of life. Their acceptance of death is rooted in their world view that change and transformation are desirable and necessary. In this course, we will explore the Stoic techniques for understanding death, such as Marcus Aurelius’ notion of a ‘cosmic perspective’, seeing things as they truly are, and learning to face our own departure from life with equanimity.

N.B. There will be a 1-hour break for lunch.
