Embodiment and Earth Consciousness
Summer 2025 (Vol. 50 No. 2)
In the course of what seems to be millions of years of human evolution on earth, we are entering a new era of “embodied consciousness.” It is time for us to awaken our bodies to the presence of the Divine, to collectively engage in the transformation of material consciousness, and to become increasingly aware of the consciousness of the earth.
We invite you to consider the ways in which we inhabit our bodies and, in doing so, can become aware of the presence of the Divine within ourselves and also within others.
Sri Aurobindo has taught us that our task is to consciously cooperate with processes of evolutionary transformation and that it is the earth itself that is doing the yoga. We are at a crucial turning point in the history of our planet at the moment.
- What can Integral Yoga show us about what is happening today?
- Are we doomed to self-annihilation, or are we going through a difficult period of deconstruction and transformation required by evolution of consciousness on earth?
- How can our individual as well as collective yogic processes contribute to a successful transition towards a more divinely inspired existence on earth?
- What can we learn from other wisdom traditions about stewardship of the earth, healing ourselves, and transformation of consciousness?

Science, Technology, and Spirituality
Fall 2025 (Vol. 50 No. 3)
Science and its practical application, technology, comprise the pinnacle of mental consciousness with both productive as well as destructive effects in modern life. Spirituality, which has often been defined as the esoteric core of various religions, is now experiencing a new resurgence as we enter a new age of transrational, intuitive, and spiritual consciousness in the 21st century. Science and technology, though useful in many regards, have at the same time created large-scale industrial pollution, climate change, and various environmental problems. The internet and social media, while facilitating some aspects of our lives, have brought about over-reliance on mental consciousness and have also opened the door to many social and psychological problems such as social alienation, isolation, and depression among the younger generations. In this issue we invite your reflections on the following topics and more:
- How can we integrate science and technology with yoga and spirituality in daily life?
- How can we reconcile rationality and intuition in the context of Integral Yoga?
- Can Integral Yoga help us deal with the current global problems?

About Collaboration
Mission
Collaboration is the journal of Integral Yoga published in the United States. Our mission is to share articles, conversations, poetry, and art that deeply engage our transitional times with the beauty, joy, and hope of the vast wisdom and practice of this evolutionary tradition and its founders, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. We explore and celebrate particularly the individual practice of yoga in this country as well as currents and expressions of the collective yoga of the American soul in our times.
Audience
Collaboration is a means of reflection, encouragement, and inspiration for the Integral Yoga community here at home. We also want to highlight friends and allies in related areas of personal and social transformation. Including these fellow travelers requires sensitivity from our contributors, whom we ask to refrain from using references and terms of Integral Yoga and the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother without explaining or clarifying them.
Content
We welcome many kinds of contributions, especially those that share, in ways both personal and universal, the surprises of grace, intuition, and delight in the widening—or stuck—moments of our lives. We also love to publish submissions that challenge the increasing polarization of our personal and social lives or embrace that fragmentation and find its deeper meaning and healing in the integrative and inclusive currents emerging in our time.
