Epicurus advised his students to study and practice his philosophy with like-minded friends, and the best way to get to know other participants at the EpicureanFriends forum is to talk with them in our regular Zoom meetings. This next level of interaction adds a new dimension that moves beyond just typing words on a screen, as we study and promote the philosophy of Epicurus together!
Every Sunday we host a Zoom to discuss Epicurean philosophy for our forum members. Our summer 2025 topics for discussion are based on the forum FAQ section. Each week will be a different topic. If you are interested in attending the next one, please post to the meeting thread in this forum, or message Cassius or Kalosyni.

In the spring of 2023 EpicureanFriends sponsored a weekly book review of "Living for Pleasure: an Epicurean Guide to Life" by Emily Austin. We were honored to have Ms. Austin herself participate with us in the final session. Watch the Activities forum for future similar programs.
