An artist in Auroville has created an exhibit commemorating an event that shocked the community.

A woman reflects on her many activities during a lifetime spent in Auroville, illustrating the values and process of building a conscious society, and showing how one can serve freely while contributing through a variety of roles and positions.

A personal meditation on coming to Auroville at the age of 17, finding harmony, and then facing the fear and disruption of the last few years.

A journey to the part of Auroville that is and will always be beyond the time and space that it currently occupies, and most importantly beyond the reach of forces that seek to control it.

This short piece is by an Aurovilian who grew up in France, came at a young age, and found her home and inner path.

Night Watchers is one of a lightly fictionalized series of posts describing the events of recent years. It is evocative, haunting, and expressive of the community. The author is an Aurovilian but wishes to be anonymous.
