DEEP ADAPTATION Auroville is a collective of information exchange on climate change, the socio-environmental collapse and adaptation to its consequences in Auroville and the bioregion in order to move into practical actions towards more mutual-aid and solidarity, resilience and sustainability.
The Aura is a conscious evolution of Auroville economics, away from an individualistic life of survival, evolving towards a life of creativity and communal harmony.
Rediscovering the meaning of money in human society, Aura is created as a virtual credit and digital currency that translates human good will and care into the exchange of value.
The Aura Network strives for a cashless community, a local economy that empowers individuals for a life of freedom and joy. As members of the community discover the abundance in their lives, they naturally share with each other what they value.
An unconditional sharing and interdependence no longer remains an unreachable ideal but a living reality.
Or how to organize the implementation, the action and the understanding of how to make a circle garden…

A circle garden is based on the concept of Permaculture, integrating a variety of plants of different physiologies and time durations.
The circle garden has a central fruit tree such as Bullock’s heart, Custard Apple, Soursop, Citrus, Jackfruit etc., and other local plants such as Drumstick, Banana, Papaya, Chaya, Wild Chili, Curry leaf, Sweet leaf, Turkey Berry, Aloe Vera, Lemongrass, Sweet Potato, Tapioca, Spinaches, Gourds, Pumpkins, Ladies finger, Clitoria ternatea etc. growing around the fruit tree. All these plants grow easily, use less water, have high nutritional and medicinal values and taste great.
A circle garden is a great way to initiate a community garden project and pick up the skills and attitudes required to explore our relationship with where our food comes from.
This garden requires limited time and resources, can be managed easily by a single person and can be created right outside your house, in community spaces, along fences, around parking plots, in schools, around PTDC, Solar Kitchen, Auroville library, Visitor Center etc. The possibilities are limitless!
Many communities have already reached out and have started to create their gardens. The best time to start these gardens is NOW!
We are happy to provide plants, seeds, contacts for composts, biomass, ideas and energy to start in Auroville communities. We will also follow up on the progress of the gardens and offer continuing support.
To share the beauty of discovering, cooking, enjoying Auroville-grown food, cultivated and wild, & connection with each other, with soil, water, what nourishes us - back to our Roots.
If some of us feel like to, we can meet for sharing, cooking, potluck, farm/nature walk/work.

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