EpicureanFriends Zoom Meetings

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!
