Stoic Cosmic Consciousness

Stoic Cosmic Consciousness is an eleven (11) week course designed for students to gain a deeper understanding of the Stoic belief in a conscious, providential and rational cosmos which can enrich their daily Stoic practice.

Your Mentor

Your mentor will help you achieve the goal of becoming knowledgeable about Stoicism as it relates to cosmic consciousness, panpsychism, and pantheism, both in theory and practice. They will do this by guiding, correcting, encouraging, and affirming your progress. Specific goals that you may have will also be carefully considered. You will have Zoom meetings with your mentor at the beginning and end of your studies and have opportunities to communicate through Moodle or email at any time.

Assignments

Assignments include self-paced quizzes, short reflective writings, and similar activities, which are generally due at the end of each two week unit. Thought and contemplation are part of the learning process. Your mentor can work with you if deadlines are difficult to meet, but generally students are expected to stick closely to the schedule
