O que você irá aprender

Transform Ancient Wisdom Into Daily Practice What if you could face challenges with more clarity, act with confidence when it's difficult, and find balance in a world that constantly demands more? Four Pillars: A Stoic Journey is your four-day immersion into the timeless principles that have guided leaders and everyday people through life's toughest moments. This course takes you deep into the four cardinal virtues of Stoic philosophy - Wisdom, Courage, Justice, and Temperance—and shows you exactly how to apply them in your real life. Day 1: Wisdom — Learn to see situations clearly and distinguish between what you can control and what you can't. This one skill immediately reduces stress and brings clarity to difficult decisions. Day 2: Courage — Discover the strength to act with integrity when it's uncomfortable. Face the conversations you've been avoiding and align your actions with your values. Day 3: Justice — Shift from isolated stress to meaningful connection. Experience practices that reveal why contribution isn't just nice—it's essential to your wellbeing. Day 4: Temperance — Find liberation from "never enough" culture. Learn to recognize true sufficiency and sustain your energy for the long journey. Each 7-9 minute session combines wisdom from Stoic masters like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius with guided meditations you'll do right in the session, plus simple practices to carry into your day. This isn't theory, it's experiential. You'll feel the shift immediately and build tools you can return to whenever life feels overwhelming. No background needed. This course is for you if you want to respond with more intention, handle difficult situations with a practical framework, or simply live with more integrity and less overwhelm. Just 10 minutes a day for four days. A foundation that lasts a lifetime. The Stoics created philosophy for living, for real people facing daily struggles. This is practical wisdom you can use today. "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." — Marcus Aurelius

Lição 1

Wisdom - Seeing Clearly

In this opening lesson, you'll discover Wisdom - the Stoic practice of seeing clearly. Learn to distinguish between what's in your control and what isn't, and practice stripping away interpretations to reveal the bare facts of any situation. Through a guided meditation, you'll experience the "Stoic pause" technique that immediately reduces reactivity and brings clarity to life's challenges. This foundational skill supports everything that follows.

Lição 2

Courage - Acting with Integrity

In this lesson, you'll explore Stoic Courage, not dramatic heroism, but the quiet strength to act with integrity when it's uncomfortable. Learn how Wisdom and Courage work together: one shows you what's right, the other gives you the strength to do it. Through a body-awareness meditation, you'll locate where resistance lives and practice visualizing yourself taking courageous action. You'll leave with tools to face difficult conversations, set boundaries, and align your actions with your values.

Lição 3

Justice - Living for More Than Yourself

In this lesson, you'll discover Justice - the Stoic recognition that we're all interconnected. Learn why contributing to others isn't self-sacrifice, but essential to your own wellbeing. Through an expanding awareness meditation, you'll experience the shift from "me" to "we" and recognize how your actions ripple outward. You'll explore practical ways to practice fairness, kindness, and contribution in your daily life, discovering that serving others actually serves yourself.

Lição 4

Temperance - The Art of Balance

In this final lesson, you'll explore Temperance - the virtue that brings balance and sustainability to your life. Learn why "enough" is actually freedom, not deprivation, and how this virtue harmonizes Wisdom, Courage, and Justice. Through a body-check meditation, you'll practice listening to what you actually need versus what your habits demand. You'll discover how to find contentment with what is while still growing, and leave with the complete framework of Stoic virtues to support you for life.
