Stoicism Sunshine Coast

This small, informal group is for the discussion of Stoic philosophy, and for mutual support as would-be Stoics. Anyone interested in Stoic philosophy can join. At each gathering, we discuss a particular topic related to Stoicism. No preparation is required, but before each meeting we recommend a short Stoic text for optional reading. There is a private Facebook group where members can chat about both Stoic ideas and the practicalities of the group.
So, what is Stoicism? Here are some key Stoic ideas (from modernstoicism.com):

~ Acknowledge that you can’t control much of what goes on in your life. 

~ See that your emotions are the product of how you think about the world. 

~ Accept that bad things are bound to happen to you from time to time, just as they do to everyone else. 

~ See yourself as part of a larger whole, not an isolated individual; part of the human race, part of Nature.

~ Think of everything you have as not your own, but simply on loan, that one day will be taken back.
