Dao with Ian Felton

New episodes weekly. A simple place to sit, listen, and return to the texts that quiet the mind.

Dao with Ian Felton is a quiet companion for contemplative practice — a place to sit, return, and listen.

Begin a session with an open-ended timer. End it when you are ready. Add a short note if there is something to note, or close the screen and let the time itself be the record.

Over weeks and months, your sittings accumulate into a history you can read like a journal. Tags surface what arises across sessions. The streak is recorded quietly; it is never the point.

The library carries foundational Daoist texts — beginning with the Neiye, the oldest cultivation text we have, written sometime in the fourth century before the common era. Read with annotations of your own.

The podcast is a long-running weekly conversation about the same questions practiced on the cushion. Episodes play in-app, and your place is kept.
