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. 

Pilates also works on developing awareness of the body, the way it moves and the relation between all the movement and the spine and core muscles.

All leves are welcome.

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.

Class open to all levels / 13 years old and above

Conducted by Aranha & Presente under Prof. Samuka da Índia's supervision

We’re starting a new class to launch this program : Upper Intermediate English, taught by Mita R.  If you are already speaking English comparatively well, but find yourself a little frustrated because you know you are still making mistakes and can improve, this class is for you.  The class will cover discussion on different topics, reading as well as writing.  Discussion will focus on what’s happening in Auroville, India and the world, since very week, each student will report on news from Auroville, Indian news and world news.  There’ll be a bit of reading out loud, as well as short writing assignments (reporting on what was discussed in the last class).   We’ll have a Google Team Drive for the class where students can share (and correct) each other’s written work.  We’ll also work with some English Grammar books, and possibly do a module of grammar in each class.  It will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5:30pm. The first class will be on Tuesday 04.06.18, but registration is required and should be completed by Saturday 1st June.  Please come to the Lab and meet Ranjini at the front desk to register.  Please also send an email to mita@aurovillelanguagelab.org with “Upper Intermediate English” in the Subject line, with a small text saying where you are from, how long you have lived in Auroville (or the Auroville area), how long you have been speaking English, why you’d like to join the class, and what you feel your needs are for learning English.

For more details please call us on : 0413:2623661 or send us on email to info@aurovillelanguagelab.org

All are invited to the Peace Meditation in the Hall of Peace at Unity Pavilion to help call down and manifest the Peace for the world, for humanity, for ourselves, for the Divine.  This is a space for collective aspiration in silence (though sometimes we must bear with the noises of the surrounding world and still work to build the Peace), where we can connect with a Higher Peace Consciousness and allow it to influence all of our Life - individual and collective - Auroville, India and the world - Mind, Life, and Body.  Let us join together in these times of great tension and confusion around the world so that a new Power of Peace may Manifest for All.  Join us from 5:00 to 5:45 PM every Thursday.  Peace and Light to All!

« Peindre Lascaux,

Peindre la vie »

Film réalisé par Constance Ryder

Samedi 22 juin à 17h

Town Hall - Cinéma Paradiso

en français uniquement, durée: 53 mn

"Monique Peytral : Peindre Lascaux, peindre la vie" est le portrait d'une femme talentueuse : la fresquiste qui a peint la copie de la grotte de Lascaux entre 1972 et 1983. Au travers des images d’archives exceptionnelles et de témoignages des principaux protagonistes, cette aventure extraordinaire – la réalisation de la copie d’une grotte Paléolithique à l’échelle réelle – est enfin racontée. Cette histoire nous amène aussi chez Monique Peytral aujourd’hui. Elle nous initie à son oeuvre, nous guidant dans un labyrinthe de sensations et de féerie, entre forêts aux couleurs infinies, rivières puissantes et roches aux formes gigantesques. Nous sommes devant celle qui connaît Lascaux – de l’intérieur.
