Sleepy Stoicism

by Luc Richard

Philosophical sleep audio from the Maritimes. Real field recordings, creeks, falls, and rain captured on location across New Brunswick, paired with slow, spare readings from the Stoics, written to be fallen asleep to. Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca at the pace of moving water. The narration is unhurried and finishes with ambient nature sounds. The location is real and named in every episode. Narration is AI-generated (ElevenLabs) from original scripts. Every ambient sound is real.
