Epicurus advised his students to 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. Moving to this next level of interaction opens up a new dimension that's impossible just by typing words on a screen.
On the first Monday of every month we host a special Meet-and-Greet for our forum members. If you are interested in attending the next one, please post to the thread for that exact date, or to the thread "Questions About Upcoming Events" in this forum, or message Cassius or Kalosyni.

Each month on the Twentieth, for approximately an hour, we continue the ancient Epicurean practice of memorializing the founders of the School. This is also a time for Epicurean philosophy discussion. Attendance is limited to forum members who are dedicated to their continued study and practice of Epicurean philosophy, and those we know as friends from their participation on the EpicureanFriends forum. For questions about participation please message Cassius.

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.

The Society of Epicurus is an initiative led by Hiram Crespo and headquartered at SocietyofEpicurus.com. There is no official or formal relationship between Epicureanfriends.com and the Society of Epicurus, or between participants in Epicureanfriends.com and members of the Society of Epicurus, except as individuals in either group choose to participate in the other. It should therefore not be presumed that participants in either group agree with or endorse any particular activity or statement of the other. However there is much obvious overlap in areas of interest, and this subforum is made available for use in discussion of particular aspects of the Society of Epicurus, such as its Twenty Tenets of December, 2019, or any other matters of particular relevance to the Society of Epicurus.
