AUROVILLE ? A UTOPIA IN THE MAKING

All the problems of the humanity are essentially the problems of harmony ? ?Sri Aurobindo?

It is about developing a new mind set towards the harmonious co-existence of all. Auroville?s quest and experiments for ?Utopia? are aimed at ?Realizing Actual Human Unity?.

Auroville is an International-Intentional Community, located in South India and due to its vision, charter and many integrated and successful experiments in all walks of life, it is considered to be a leading Ecovillage for its holistic development.

Established in 1968, near Pondicherry, Auroville today has 2,000 residents representing over 40 nationalities. It enjoys a yet unique UNESCO?s endorsement as a project of great value to Humanity.

Auroville has a pioneering status in the wide use of renewable energy, natural resource management, environmental restoration, organic farming, waste management, innovative architecture and low energy and appropriate building technologies, rural & regional integrated development initiatives and also the aspects of self governance, conflict resolution, alternative economy and education.

    Hope I can come, but time pressure may prevent. I may come late.

    To answer Erin's question, we're expecting about fifteen people - some are RSVPing elsewhere. At this point, come on down, even if you haven't RSVP'd.
