Stoic Get-Together (Aug. 2026)

These monthly "**Get-Togethers**" are centered around a theme or topic that attendees can discuss casually with each other. They usually occur every third Saturday at 9:00-11:00 a.m. ***in person***—outside in one of L.A.'s fine parks. The goal of these meetings is community-building and growth through an open-minded exchange of ideas. The topic of the upcoming meetings is discussed and announced on our Discord server and newsletter. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. See you then! **—Justin K. (*[justin@lastoics.com](http://justin@lastoics.com/))*** **P.S.** If you enjoy these meetings and want to see more, consider being a regular or one-time donor to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 99-1615600): [https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/support-lastoics](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/support-lastoics) .
