The Yoga of Philosophy Part 5: Ethics or 'How Should I Live?'

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

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

In this fifth session we will be looking at the topic of Philosophical Ethics. How ought we act? Are we agents responsible for our actions or mere pawns in a deterministic universe? Is the path of Yoga inherently a selfish one, as some scholars have argued, or is this due to misunderstanding? We will untangle and examine these questions and more in this session.

In this age of soundbites and fake news, opportunities for thoughtful and reasoned debate are more important than every before. 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.
