Daimon Contact

A 9-month course in philosophical reflection and direct experience

This course explores the ancient idea of the daimon—a guiding presence recognized across philosophical, religious, and shamanic traditions. Over the span of a year, we engage this theme through structured study and lived practice.

The course draws from the Stoic and Platonic schools, the daimonic encounters of Headmaster Erik Wiegardt, and core-shamanic methods. Participation calls for patience, openness, and a readiness to move beyond certainty.
What unfolds is personal.

This course is offered through the College of Posidonius.

“The Stoics say that there are daimones who are in sympathy with human beings and watch over human affairs.”
Diogenes Laertius, Lives of the Eminent Philosophers 7.151
