"You have power over your mind. Realize this, and you will find strength."
— Marcus Aurelius

Philosophy is a way of life; ancient Greeks and Romans knew that very well. So they gathered in a stoa, a portico, discussing ideas about life and death, human existence, and the soul. Their theories are so timelessly relevant that we can put their teachings into practice in the here and now.
This is what we are going to do; we will gather as the ancients did inside a private museum (an oasis of ancient music in the heart of a bustling city) and meditate on ancient texts while listening to the soothing sound of the ancient lyre.
We will have the Stoic philosophers as our guides —the great Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca— while exploring the four ancient pillars of a well-lived life: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice.
So, close your eyes, relax your body and let the lyre of Apollo soothe your mind. Let's discover what the ancients have to say about what lies beyond our thoughts; what it takes to be always present in the here and now.
