This year, at Stoicon 2018 in London (organized by John Sellars, assisted by Amy Valladres) , we again hosted over 300 participants and fielded a number of talks and workshops!\u00a0 In the weeks following, quite a few people wrote about their experiences at the conference, the conversations they had, the talks or workshops they attended, and what they learned.<\/p>\n
Since Stoicon is one of the main events planned and put on every year by the Modern Stoicism organization, I thought what these participants had to say would likely be of interest to our readership, particularly those who could not attend the conference.<\/p>\n
Below is a list of the longer pieces about Stoicon 2018 out there at present.\u00a0 Several are in other languages, but if you can’t read those, there’s always the translate function in your browser, or Google Translate!<\/p>\n
