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.

www.auroville.org

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.

    I've lived in Auroville and am excited about the possibility of sharing in the AV vision here in CA.
