What will remain to tell of you and your impact on the world after your departure from the earthly realm? How do you want your life story to be remembered? What will be your legacy? Are there lessons you’ve learned that can impart wisdom to future inhabitants of our planet? Are there material resources you wish to bequeath to people, organizations, or causes that have meant something to you? This workshop will offer ideas to explore and tools to utilize so you can take your leave with peace and gratitude for your incarnation this time around.
Chandra/Jo Sgammato served for more than two decades in numerous capacities at the Integral Yoga Institute of New York, where she obtained her first teacher training certification in 1998. A former book publishing executive and bestselling author, she is an enthusiastic student of the history of Swami Satchidananda and Integral Yoga. The creator of Integral’s Yoga At School program, Chandra is also a founding member of the Integral Yoga Global Network and continues to work with the international sangha on a variety of initiatives including the Integral Yoga Global Conference, to be held virtually in October 2023.
The Integral Yoga End-of-Life Project 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.
