Join us at Stoicon 2025, the world’s largest gathering of modern Stoics, happening Saturday, October 18 (10 am–5 pm EDT). This year’s theme—Engaged Citizenship—could not be more timely. I’ll be speaking on “Civil Discourse in an Age of Outrage,” exploring how Stoic wisdom can cultivate courageous citizenship— the kind that is outspoken yet principled, well-reasoned yet able to listen and understand. 

Registration for Civility Summit 2026 is OPEN—one year after our inaugural summit united 450+ civic leaders from 350 cities, 10 countries.➡️You're invited! Join 20+ visionary civic leaders and world-renowned experts online for practical and empowering tools YOU can use to lead boldly in uncivil times and foster a culture of civility.

This fall, Canadians in several jurisdictions will have the chance to Elect Civil. Elect civil means using your vote to support leaders who lead with civility, not just talk about them, people who build bridges, engage respectfully, and lead with integrity. Diane Kalen-Sukra first shared the call to "Be Civil. Elect Civil" in her Spring 2024 article published by the National Civic Review, "Incivility Anywhere is a Threat to Civility Everywhere".
