The Inner Citadel

A Course on Marcus Aurelius

The Inner Citadel

Retreat into yourself. In this student portal you will watch the video lectures and complete the daily journaling exercises that accompany the course — a slow, deliberate practice in the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius.

"Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul… constantly then give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself."
Meditations, IV. 3

Video Lectures

Watch each lecture at your own pace, one section of the citadel at a time.

Daily Journaling

Sit with a prompt each day. Write. Return tomorrow. The practice is the point.

Track Your Progress

A quiet record of the lectures you have completed and the entries you have kept.
