Stoicism & Spirituality: Master Yourself… or Let Go of Yourself?

Two ancient systems. One modern problem: how to live well.
Stoicism teaches control, discipline, and self-mastery.
Spiritual traditions teach surrender, acceptance, and release.
Are they fundamentally opposed—or just different paths to the same outcome?

Stoicism = control of the self
Spirituality = surrender of the self
They sound like opposites—but both promise the same thing: peace.
So which actually works?

Join us for a fast-paced, thought-provoking discussion where we put these two philosophies head-to-head (in small groups) and see what survives.

Bonus fun …
… are these quotes from Stoics or Eastern spiritualists?

“God is near you, he is with you, he is within you.”

“He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty”
