Preparation, in terms of putting papers in order and presenting your wishes to your family and the world, will make things easier for all involved. New York attorney David Deva Barrett, who wrote the first bylaws for the IYI, will guide you through the process in a clear and simple way. He will explain what papers are needed and why. Learn about the advantages of working with an attorney as well as how to avoid incurring such an expense. States and online resources offer free and affordable forms, and this workshop will help you navigate them, if you choose that route.

The Integral Yoga End-of-Life – 6 Workshop Series:

At every age but especially in our later years, each of us must address death in all of its manifestations—releasing attachments to this life, disposing of our bodies and belongings, and helping our loved ones cope with their losses. The Integral Yoga End-of-Life Project honors this journey by providing an array of spiritual guidance and practical advice on a topic we may have avoided but that is inevitable. Discover and implement the ideas of six unique, new workshops from Integral Yoga to save your family and friends from these daunting obligations and to prepare and liberate yourself to enjoy the rest of your life.

These workshops are based on the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda and taught by his senior students. The companion website, yogicendoflife.org, is an offering built by one of the first Integral Yogis, Karuna Kreps. It provides clear and even inspiring advice and resources to help you make this experience easeful and, maybe even, joyful. Rather than seeing death as frightening and sad, we can embrace liberation from the human form to return to our eternal cosmic consciousness. Each workshop is offered at a sliding scale, please choose your contribution at registration: $0, $18, $36.

Spiritual Preparation with Swami Karunananda

Enroll

The best preparation for one’s final transition is a life well lived. Spiritually, we can equip ourselves with proper understanding of the nature of existence, that the world is defined by impermanence, and that all things are passing. Based on this understanding, we can learn how to release attachments by coming into the right relationship with our bodies, possessions, people, and ideas. In the midst of constant change, we can cultivate a greater awareness of the unchanging Spirit within and around us. By daily practice of prayer and meditation, asana, and pranayama, we can realize that the body is the vehicle for who we are in truth. Thus, by applying principles and practices of Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga, we can face that final journey gently and peacefully, with courage and grace.

A recording of this workshop will be made available free of charge on yogicendoflife.org one week after the live event.

Satsang: Generosity and Relationship with Money

Enroll

By donation $0, $27, $54, $108 – 100% of the proceeds go towards replacing the IYISF roof.

Special Speaker Series

We will explore the relationship with money, attachment and non-attachment, attraction and fear. We will look at generosity as the path of spiritual progress.

“I have learnt that it is the foremost duty of man to learn to give – give in charity, give in plenty, give with love, give without any expectation. Charity is incomplete without charity of disposition, charity of feeling, charity of understanding.”
― Swami Sivananda

“Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.”
― Siddhārtha Gautama

“Like humility, generosity comes from seeing that everything we have and everything we accomplish comes from God’s grace and God’s love for us.”
― Anglican Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu
