I like the idea of the mind as a garden in which we plant the seeds for growth, so retreating into the mind becomes an infinite place/space for the possibility of calmness and beauty.

Amazing and so much history all in one place. I have tried to read Meditations and struggle with the words. This series truly helped me understand.

I thought this was an excellent intro to the major tenants and teachers of stoicism. Every day resulted in journaling, annoy holes, personal reflection and even some practical application. Well done! I’m looking forward to part two!
