As Eric crosses the vast plains of Castile and León, the journey begins to shift. Santiago is no longer just a distant idea—it’s a presence on the horizon. In this episode, he reflects on how the changing landscape invites deeper thought, and how the long walk prepares not just the body, but the mind. Drawing from Stoic principles—Amor Fati, voluntary discomfort, self-discipline, reflection, and equanimity—Eric explores what it means to carry both less and more as the Camino nears its end. The path is quieter now, but the lessons grow louder.
The Camino Stoic is written and presented by Eric Fendley, produced by Viil Fjøse, with music by Stonecraft. If you find value in this episode, please consider following and sharing the podcast with a fellow traveller.
