Gurdjieff movements, also known as “sacred dances” are a powerful tool for inner and outer awareness. The practice makes it possible to become free of the automatism and habits of our body, emotions and mind. By moving differently than we usually do, we experience new qualities of energy and meet ourselves in new ways.

Tai Chi Quan with Lhamo at JOY Guest House Monday (Regular students only) from 5 to 6 pm

Lhamo (Zhao Zhengrong), from China, started her Martial Arts journey at age 11, when she went to a Kung fu school in Shaolin and stayed there for 3 years, practicing 9 hours a day; She learned from different masters such as Chen Style Tai Chi Quan and Tai Chi Sword, she also learned Wu Style Tai Chi Quan from other Master. Lhamo will be teaching 24 forms of Tai Chi Quan (which is simple style) for beginners; but according to the students level she will start advance level of Taichi Quan as 42 style and Wu Style 37.

Regular Classes of Qi-Gong at JOY Guest House on Monday and Thursday from 7 to 8 am.

Qi-gong is a form of gentle exercise composed of movements that are repeated a number of times, often stretching the body, increasing fluid movement (blood, synovial and lymph) and building awareness of how the body moves through space. When you practice and learn a qigong exercise movement, there are both external movements and internal movements. All levels are welcome :)

Capoeira is a 500-year-old martial art form developed in Brazil by slaves to free themselves from their oppressors. Sometimes seen as a folkloric performance, it was designed to hide the fighting and defense techniques behind dance-like movements, so that the slaves would not be caught learning an art that could free them from their subjugation.

Classes are meant for 14 years old and above. No previous experience required. All levels.
Teachers: Samuka da India (Samuel) & Presidente (Kiran)

Mere entertainment or an art of living, this tool makes one blossom at every contact. In this circle of joy where each one encounters his difficulties, we laugh at the vagaries of life without worrying ourselves with what comes next. At times flexible, at times less so, the player juggles with his abilities, never quite revealing them, using 'malicia' and guided by his most childlike perception.

Dear Friends,

This is a closer look at Solitude farm through exploration of local food. This "Mini-Permaculture Workshop" will give you a clear insight on how to re-connect with Mother Nature through the principles of natural farming and permaculture. Includes harvesting and the secrets of our salads (mini-cooking workshop). Held every Wednesday, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, with lunch and refreshments at 12:30 pm.

Contribution – Rps. 800.

To sign up, please contact Krishna: call 984 331 2960, email krishnamckenzie@auroville.org.in, or come to Solitude Farm Cafe.

Solitude was started in 1996 by a group of young Aurovillians. One of them, Krishna Mckenzie, inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka developed the farm with the ideas of Natural farming and permaculture.

Much like the rest of Auroville, the land needed tending and care. Fukuoka advocated that all the bio-resources around us, such as leaves, weeds, branches, etc., should constantly be returned to the soil to increase soil fertility. We have come to understand, over the years, that a healthy soil is Mother Earth, and through a deepening of our relationship with Her, we now use over 130 different plants in the food we serve at the café.   

No pesticides or fertilizers have ever been used on the land. We practice non-tillage and no machines or tractors are used. Every part of this land is honored and respected. 

Solitude Farm is a true example of Masanobu Fukuoka’s philosophy in practice – a road back to nature through eating local food.

Weekly, on Wednesday afternoon.

Whether you want to strengthen your core, create long, lean muscles, add a low-impact workout to your exercise regimen or get rid of a regular back pain, Pilates can help!

Above all, Pilates focuses on teaching you to stabilize and strengthen your core, on keep/bring the body to his natural alignment and this is one of the most important things you can do to be/feel healthy.

Before I came to Pondicherry in 1972, I travelled the countries around the Mediterranean sea and on the road to India, many of the monuments, still seen in the photos, are not more existing or have changed.

« Soulages »

Film réalisé par Stéphane Berthomieux

Samedi 25 mai à 17h

Town Hall - Cinéma Paradiso

en français uniquement, durée: 52 mn

À 97 ans, du haut de ses 1,90m, Pierre Soulages est solide comme un roc. L’esprit alerte, la main toujours sûre, il est l’un des derniers mythes vivants de la peinture abstraite. Pour ce documentaire, Stéphane Berthomieux nous propose de vivre l’expérience de la lumière qui vient du noir en parvenant à conjuguer trois niveaux de récits : les archives, les témoignages mis en scène et les voix-off. Cette approche à la fois biographique et poétique nous permet de découvrir la place de Soulages dans l’art des XXe et XXIe siècles tout en prenant conscience de la modernité de sa peinture, de la puissance de son noir et de l’énergie qui s’en dégage.

Plusieurs personnalités s’associent au documentaire. Du linguiste Pierre Encrevé, spécialiste et ami depuis 40 ans de Pierre Soulages à l’astrophysicien Daniel Kunth, à l’assistant de Pierre Soulages Dan Mc Enroe, au philosophe Alain Badiou, au musicien Jean-Michel Jarre ou encore au recteur de la cathédrale de Rodez Jean-Luc Barrié, tous nous permettent d’approcher l’œuvre de Soulages sous un angle inédit, affirmant ainsi la contemporanéité évidente de cet artiste déjà légendaire.
