This place is an experiment in human unity, a laboratory of evolution

There are so many things I could write about Auroville. This place is an experiment in human unity, a laboratory of evolution, a land reclamation project, a glaring hypocrisy. The some two-thousand Aurovillians are here for reasons to numerous to recount, but all have some vision of a human future in which they can be conscious participants rather than helpless subjects being swept downstream.

So why did we choose this place to kick off several years of conscious adventuring? There are obvious reasons: I lived here ten years ago, so I have some context. My mother lives here still, and I owed her a visit. Imelda had heard much about Auroville, but hadn’t yet seen it. But beyond these easy justifications, Auroville is an excellent choice for the symbolic start of a literal and metaphoric journey. It is, to be sure, a place for daring ideas to take root.
