Transform Yourself with the Power of Sangha: Launch Your Self-Transformation Practice Lab in 7 Days
Self-Transformation Practice Lab is a peer-led learning space where (1) we apply spirituality in life, (2) learn by doing and not by theory, (3) use the power of community to accelerate our progress. Do not struggle alone, let us thrive together. Join us, create your lab.
Who is this course for
01
If you have been aspiring to work on a dimension of your life, be it food or developing equanimity, but struggling to make it happen.
02
If you are a young seeker of integral yoga or integral education, have been thirsting for a community & aspiring to facilitate integrally.
03
If you have done many self-development retreats & been listening to spiritual talks, yet haven't been able to bring change in everyday life.
Key Highlights
All Life is Yoga
Often spiritual practices - sadhana - are treated as separate from everyday life activities. This fragments life but an integral approach can help us to transform any activity of life into a means to spiritual progress when done in the spirit of karma yoga.
Grow with Your Community
Move from struggling alone to growing with a conscious community. For 100s of aspirants, we have seen when we practice with a community, we are able to accomplish what we are unable to do alone. This grows manifold when we lead a community. You will learn to lead one.
You Need Not Be An Expert
We all know "to teach is to learn twice", but often we do not teach, for we feel inadequate. We miss out on a transformative opportunity. Not anymore. You need not be an expert to facilitate. If you are a sincere seeker, that is enough. The course will equip you to facilitate.
Learn by Doing
Often we know the right practices to do, but we fail to bring them into everyday life. In this course, you will bridge the gap between what you know & what you do. Start with something small based on your strength & launch a practice lab to begin actively learning with a sangha.

The 5 Course Benefits
Accomplish in 7 Days What Usually Takes 3 Months
Usually building a practice lab takes close to 3 months. We will accomplish in 7 days what usually takes 3 months, and thus, it requires your utmost commitment.
Immerse in Intensive Learning
The 7 days intensive Bootcamp from Nov 24 - 30, 2021 will have live sessions from 7:30 PM till 9:30 PM IST every day. Besides, you will be working 1-2 hours per day individually. Yes, we know it is intense :).
Post-Bootcamp Support
After the 7 days course is over, the true adventure begins. You will be enrolling your tribe as well as anchoring the practice lab in the next 5 weeks, as the Bootcamp community holds you accountable for betting on yourself.
Receive Personalised Guidance
The course has only 21 seats. 12 are for beginners & 9 for advanced practice lab creators. This will enable a rich peer-learning environment for the beginners, as well as help 12 selected participants get personalised guidance & feedback.
Don’t let Money be a Barrier.
After the Bootcamp, the Purnam Practice Lab can be offered for a fee. 50% of the receipts from the lab fee will be offered to you. This will help you cover up the Bootcamp fee, making the full 6 weeks course free of cost and full of learning!
