"The end of a stage of evolution is usually marked by a powerful recrudescence of all that has to go out of the evolution."
Sri Aurobindo

Connecting with your ECOLOGICAL SELF

Time: 2-4pm IST or 10:30am -12:3 pm CET or 6:30-8:30pm EAST- Suitable for India, Asia, Europe, UK and Australia

  • - Are you someone who cares about the Earth?
  • - Are you worried about the future of our species?
  • - Are you missing like-minded community and connection to nature during this lockdown?

Join me on a facilitated exploration and experience your Ecological-Self through its interconnectedness to the living ecosystem of the Earth.
Deriving from disciplines of Deep Ecology, Systems Theory, Eco-psychology and 'Work that Reconnects', these explorations are held through sessions that include guided meditations, experiential processes, group sharing, individual reflections, art and poetry in a safe space to fill you with the felt experience that YOU are Nature.
" Our interdependence with all life of Earth has profound implications for our attitudes and actions. We under-estimate ourselves, when we identify self with narrow competitive ego. With sufficient all-sided maturity,we not only move on from ego to a social self and a metaphysical self, but an ecological self as well. Through widening circles of identification, we vastly extend the boundaries of our self-interest, and enhance our joy and meaning in life."
Joanna Macy and Molly Brown, Coming Back To Life, 1998

Plogging is a Swedish term which means picking up garbage while jogging or exercising.

Karine, plogger around Luminosity!

I love walking into the nature. I’ve been living all my life in the country side, away from cities pollution. I’m completely aware that I need to exercise every day and even more, while getting older. I am 51 years old. When I came to Auroville, I start walking on the “sentiers” to discover unknown places, communities, peoples and dogs. I was feeling so good to be at last here, in this wonderful place, AUROVILLE, the city of Truth.

So every morning, I was having an appointment with the nature of Auroville roads. After few weeks doing that and enjoying it, I thought I could join (l’utile à l’agréable) by bringing a bag with me to collect the waste. Because, those great red soil roads were sooooo polluted by cans, plastics and glass bottles, multi-layer packagings, masks, etc…I had to do something.

So I stitched myself a bag out of a construction 20 litters bag, and transform it in a Waste BackPack to carry the waste during my walk. I also love to walk with walking sticks to improve the benefits of muscles workout and actually, those sticks were also very useful to grab the waste. I also bring 6 cookies for my cute little dogs. If you could see how happy they are when they ear my strange walking sound with those sticks and they know they will receive my little gifts. Their happiness make my happy day. After an hour of walking, my bag is quiet full. I empty it on the trash bins of my community. It’s always a great moment to do my morning routine, even if I don’t understand how human can be that non responsible and detached from the nature to think the soil will absorb their trash. I dream of a place cleaner, an India cleaner, a World cleaner. So I do my part.
