New Season!  Season two overview and short discussion of what a great year it has been!

Today's episode is with Dr. Jennifer Baker a Professor of Philosophy at the College of Charleston.  She teaches classes around the subject of ethics and philosophies of ethics in business, and medicine.   She has published articles on Stoicism an ancient philosophical practice dating circa 260 BC.  Stoicism is from the Hellenistic (classical) period and practiced by many Roman leaders such as Marcus Arelius, and Epictitus.  Stoicism has recently seen a rebirth and has gained many modern writers on the subject.  You can find social media outlets, podcasts and youtube channels dedicated to the practice.  What is notable about this podcast is that the philosophy is generally a space that men mostly occupy, but women have begun to prescribe and follow this ancient practice.  I am one of those women as is my guest.  

I hope you enjoy this podcast.  If you would like to learn more you can go to the podcast Facebook page and find a link to an article Dr. Baker wrote about practicing Stoicism in modern life.  It is a very good read!  

Jane leads us on a guided meditation through a picturesque Scottish landscape.  You can find her Facebook group, The Secret Meditation Garden, where she leads regular meditations.  You may also wish to buy her new book Six Enchantments, which came out in October - it's a series of short stories designed to help the reader find moments of peace and calm in their everyday life and to help them connect with their true self. 

Enjoy your place of calm and peace after this one!
