I’m probably a stoic at heart in this meditation brought that out in me. 50 days on this is just the beginning and I plan to do the long meditations again which will be 25 days. It was really good.

Long and interesting. Not sure that the explanation of the chapter and meditation needed to be on separate days so I combined the two. Thank you for the course. I learned alot.

— Jennifer, November 2024

I appreciate the practice and the deeply invested guidance I received from this course!

— Leah Allan, November 2024

I have been interested in stoic philosophy for many years. Your course and meditations have given the teachings of these wise philosophers more depth, relevance and meaning. Thank you for this enriching experience. I have so enjoyed the last 50 days with you and the Stoics and will continue to consciously embrace the stoic principles within my everyday thoughts words and actions. Thank you 🙏

Every sitting opens only once you have sat the one before it. No one is turned away for money — write and ask.
