Title:THE AUROVILLE ADVENTURE - Living and working in Auroville
Abstract: Over a few decades, Auroville has become a veritable laboratory of human unification and convergence of ideas and ideals, of knowledge and principles of sustainability and of evolution, be it in area of science & technology or socio- economic aspects alongside the spiritually awakened journey in the light of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. All of this has been possible due to the foundational principle of Auroville which aims to embody a spiritually elevated society, which is substantially different from the experiments of sustainable urbanization being followed by conventional professionals with a purely commercially attuned mindset.
As we celebrate Auroville’s birthday, let us remind ourselves of the spirit of living and working in Auroville.
“In this place titles and positions would be replaced by opportunities to serve and organise...There, work would not be a way to earn one’s living but a way to express oneself and to develop one’s capacities and possibilities while being of service to the community as a whole.” - A Dream, the Mother, 1954

Auroville Convivial: Live Talks is a week-long international gathering during Auroville Week (21–28 February 2026). It is conceived as an invitation to step into a shared, live space to speak about and around Auroville. Together, we seek to reopen dialogue on how this ongoing experiment engages with the wounds of the world, as well as its own lived successes, setbacks, and unfolding possibilities to reflect the prismatic nature of Auroville.
