COURSE
With Mark Mathews
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
