Oikeiosis: Make More Meaningful Connections

Stoic Enneagram Coach Sarah Mikutel

What would life be like if we felt more happy connections with people on a regular basis? How can we embrace the wider world and bring people closer to us, even if for a few moments at the seaside?

Stoics believe we are all citizens of the world, part of one global community. This is Stoic cosmopolitanism. 

The Stoic philosopher Seneca said: 

Our relations with one another are like a stone arch, which would collapse if the stones did not mutually support each other, and which is upheld in this very way.” Seneca, Letter 95, Tao of Seneca

Just like each stone in an arch depends on the strength of the others to maintain its stability, we human beings are part of a harmonious system meant to support one another.

Stoics believe meaningful connection is important to our wellbeing, and for society as a whole. 

We’re here on this Earth to take care of one another, and this starts with taking care of ourselves. I’ve talked previously about the Stoic concept of the circles of concern, which describes our relationships to everyone, including ourselves.
