On a sunny Saturday in May, New Acropolis Chicago hosted a Stoic Retreat, offering participants a thoughtful and immersive experience into the philosophy of Stoicism. The day began with a brief introduction to the history and core principles of Stoicism, followed by engaging discussions on key Stoic ideas.

Participants then had the opportunity to put these concepts into practice through a variety of reflective, dialogical, and oratory exercises designed to deepen understanding and foster inner resilience.

A warm and fraternal lunch added a sense of community to the retreat, as attendees connected over shared interests and insights. Everyone left with practical tools and inspiration to apply Stoic principles in their everyday lives.
