Auroville’s Rich Cultural Life

20/03/2019 No Comment

Auroville offers an impressive range of interesting social and cultural events. Most of them take place during the main season (January through March), and since my visit fell into that time slot I had the chance to attend some of the many beautiful events and gatherings.

In addition, there is a great variety of of courses and workshops every day you can participate in, like Pilates, Yoga, Watsu, Sound Bath, Chakra Dance, Energy Dance, or the OM Choir. Also, there are lots of good movies, talks and presentations – something for everyone.

Guided Tour at Solitude Farm

Every Friday Krishna McKenzie the founder of Solitude offers a wonderful guided tour through the farm. At Solitude Cafe you get the freshest, delicious lunch I had in Auroville, harvested, prepared and served the same day – food that gives you power instead of making you dozy.
