The Yoga of Philosophy Part 4: Philosophy of Self or 'Who Am I?'

Ben & Jo of Yoga Nature warmly invite you to join us for the fourth in this series of FREE satsangs exploring philosophy for yogis.

We will be covering a broad landscape, examining the various Indic but also Western philosophical traditions and comparing what they have to say about a range of important topics.

In this fourth session we will be looking at the interesting topic of Self and Soul. What exactly is this thing called Ātman in Sanskrit? What is its nature? Does it endure after death? Is there even such a thing as an abiding Self at all? We will look at what the various Indian schools (and some ancient Greek thinkers) had to say about these matters.

In this age of soundbites and fake news, opportunities for thoughtful and reasoned debate are more important than every before, and we can learn a lot from the ancient Indians and Greeks (and other cultures of course) in this respect. I do hope you will join us for this unique and fascinating satsang series. Why not take this rare opportunity to deepen your philosophical understanding of yoga for FREE!

All sessions will be streamed live online & recordings will be made availlable.
