Uniqueness of Integral Yoga
Spring 2026
Integral Yoga is unique in many ways. It encompasses everything, especially by recognizing that all is the Divine in essence—even matter, even the body. It draws a new psychological map of humanity and develops into a unique path of psychospiritual development for each aspirant.
This practice reveals a physical and spiritual evolution far beyond Darwin, leading to a radical transformation of consciousness beyond the mind. It acknowledges that the transformation of matter on Earth is inevitable, as spirit is involved in matter and must ultimately reveal itself. Integral Yoga celebrates the feminine qualities of collaboration and the centrality of the Divine Mother. It discovers the crucial role of the soul in the transformation of consciousness.
Integral Yoga unites all opposites—such as matter and spirit, East and West, embodiment and soul, masculine and feminine, science and spirituality—while treasuring diversity.
We look forward to your submissions on any of these qualities or on other unique aspects and characteristics of Integral Yoga. In particular, we would love to hear about your own unique practice of this yoga.

Glimpses of Emergence in a Darkening Future
Summer 2026
Theme Context
The current world situation brought to us relentlessly by the news and social media presents a dire scenario. But we also see it ourselves: remarkable changes in storms, fires, and droughts; disappearing animals from our childhood; destruction of forests and rivers we have loved. Humankind faces challenges of hitherto unimaginable proportions such as climate disruption, political divisions, genocides, and the erosion of a shared sense of reality. The future of our species and the web of life itself appear to be in peril.
But as we slip planet-wide into what some have called the Great Unraveling, counterpoints and instances of light and direction are emerging beyond the glare of mainstream communications.
Some are finding hope in the mythic pattern that a new age of light requires a time of dissolution and chaos. And the realization that we humans are the cause of the metacrisis suggests an evolutionary pressure for a change to humanity greater and more fundamental even than the explosion of culture and technology in the last 50,000 years.
Resolving problems requires a departure from the patterns that gave rise to them. Humanity is unfinished. Beyond the current shared reality—a childhood or adolescence of our relatively young species—other lenses or potentials of consciousness far exceeding today’s norms are appearing or perhaps waiting in the wings.
Sri Aurobindo and Mother announced the coming of a subjective age and the evolution of a supra-mental consciousness on Earth. Are you already looking for the intermediary ones? Are you longing for or stumbling on—in yourself or elsewhere—new forms, flashes, or pools of light beyond the mental; practices and gatherings of the soul; intermediary beings calling in a people of the future?
Invitation
In this issue we invite writers and artists to share a more hopeful glimpse of the future. This is a call for submissions—articles, essays, poetry, art, reflections, experiences, intuitions, teachings, examples—of the seeds, forms, flashes, and liminal beings announcing or embodying new powers and widenesses, perfectly suited to the Great Unraveling and responding to the cries of nature and humanity from the depths. We are looking for real world examples and descriptions of these emerging potentials and possibilities, how the yoga of the psychic being, for example, invites grace and vivifies forms of light, direction, love, and richer forms of union.
We invite you to share what you are finding as the future gradually unfolds. Is there evidence that can infuse a sense of hope for the future? We look forward to receiving your explorations and findings in whatever arenas you have chosen to investigate or have experienced personally.

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.
