This gap is steadily increasing, and since few months one of the most important of Auroville's working groups (the Working Committee) is not able to function properly. Despite the heat the meeting was well attended and many residents expressed their concerns. Another meeting will follow to begin the 'healing process', and the sense of optimism was present. </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.aurovilleradio.org/city-life/governance/3292-bridging-a-widening-gap">Read more...</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Aspiration, One Laugh</h1> <p>contact@aurovilleradio.org (Clara) — Wed, 01 May 2013 23:28:12 GMT</p> Saturday at 8 pm at Cripa SHAKTI DANCE TROUPE Presents a Night of Exotic Indian Dance.On Sunday May 5 at 5.05 pm at SAWCHU, Bharat Nivas we can Celebrate World Laughter Day -One Laugh * One Peace * One World joining thousands of people sending waves of laughter around the world for World Peace, Harmony and Unity.

Most recently it was a demonstration site for organic cashews. Mawite has been caring for AuroAnnam and putting energy into making it a lively yet peaceful green entryway into Auroville. There is a question whether Auroville will keep the land or exchange it, making future plans for the place somewhat tenuous. Hear Mawite explain the situation at AuroAnnam on Earth Day weekend - first with a walk around the land and chant led by Kaya, then a presentation back at the Farmers' Cafe. <p></p> <p><a href="http://www.aurovilleradio.org/environment/organic-farming/3290-what-s-up-auroannam-">Read more...</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Creating an Open Space</h1> <p>contact@aurovilleradio.org (Alma) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:34:15 GMT</p> AT SAWCHU on Wednesday at 4pm Important Community meeting on to create a cooperative ways between residents and working groups.

Yes, it was a night of Shakespeare, laughter, friends and families under the starlight in the amphitheater of the Last School. Story with its plot is more or less known: two love stories, humor, mischief, conspiracy, and yet ends with two marriages in satisfaction of all parties involved. Despite that director has chosen to stick to the expression of Shakespearian English, all actors proved their ability and maturity in performing. <p></p> <p><a href="http://www.aurovilleradio.org/arts-a-culture/performing-arts/3288-much-ado-about-nothing">Read more...</a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
