84. A Stoic Conversation with Ranjini George: Blending Stoicism, Buddhism, and Creative Reflection
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, The Podcast on Stoicism
In this episode, Brendan and Brice sit down with Dr. Ranjini George, a writer, teacher, and longtime practitioner of Stoicism and Buddhism. Dr. George holds a PhD in English and an MA in Philosophy, with a special focus on Indian thought. At the intersection of creative expression and contemplative practice, she has taught courses on Writing as a Way of Life at the University of Toronto and curated spaces for meditative writing at the intersection of ancient wisdom and personal transformation.
Together, we explore how Stoicism and Buddhism can serve as practical paths to greater equanimity, purpose, and presence. Dr. George shares how mindfulness and journaling have helped her navigate life’s challenges and cultivate self-awareness. She offers insights on the shared values of Eastern and Western philosophy, emphasizing daily practices like meditation and creative reflection as essential tools for living well.
Whether you are new to philosophy or deep into your own practice, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder: living in the present moment, understanding your values, and finding meaning in your work are not abstract goals—they’re daily practices.
