Telos is a model of consciousness and its evolutionary journey, based on the pioneering work of Sri Aurobindo, a philosopher yogi and well known spiritual master of India who articulated an integral perspective nearly a century ago. Telos has in focus the evolutionary transformation of the individual who is the agent of change in groups in the context of a global evolutionary transformation, a core theme in Sri Aurobindo's work. Its experiential and experimental base is in the explorations of integral yoga, a transformational practice developed by Sri Aurobindo.
