Join world-renowned Ayurvedic physician and teacher Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc as he explores the beautiful and delicate concept of dying and death - how we are not just our body but a divine soul presented with opportunities to grow and heal in this final stage of life.

In this webinar, Vasant Lad will briefly shed light on the Vedic perspective of the fourth and final stage of life, Sannyasa. Discover how this period and final transition can be approached with dignity and grace even amidst the busyness of our modern world.

Oftentimes, particularly in the West, the final stage of life and the elderly body can be seen as a burden that is full of pain, discomfort, and fear, and we dread this inevitable stage of our lives. As a yogi and Ayurvedic physician and teacher, Vasant Lad reminds us that as we come into the world alone, we will leave alone, and in this aloneness is divinity, love, and bliss. Though the body may change, fade and weaken, the soul does not.

You will walk away from this webinar with a renewed perspective on the opportunities available for healing and growth in elder age and during the process of our own death, so that we may walk this last journey with grace. Vasant Lad will share simple practices to support yourself and your loved ones through this time of life - an inevitable journey for each of us.

Approaching death - moving from fear to bliss

Oftentimes, particularly in the West, the final stage of life and the elderly body can be seen as a burden that is full of pain, discomfort, and fear, and we dread this inevitable stage of our lives. Yogic Master and Ayurvedic teacher Vasant Lad reminds us that as we come into the world alone, we will leave alone, and in this aloneness is divinity, love, and bliss. Though the body may change, fade and weaken, the soul does not.

The Final Journey Within

In this webinar, Vasant Lad will illuminate how this later stage of life is in fact an opportunity to strengthen our understanding of our true Self and commune with this higher state of being. He will elaborate on how the natural decline of the senses - a closing of the doors of perception - is in fact our cue to gaze inwards and move closer to the divinity in each of us.
