| | Wednesday, 16 February 2011 |  It started before dawn...and to see the sunrise, dew on tree leaves, feel the sand and grass under the feet, was a blessing...the high spirits of people who supported runners all the way, with taunts as well as with water and medical assistance, was contagious...it gave them reason to do their best, run the best they could...morning cold was soon warmed up by sun, and the cheerful spirit of participants, slowly finishing the distance they had chosen to run. We'll be back for sure next year...all said!

| | Monday, 14 February 2011 |  " Running a marathon is a dream: It is intense, it is arduous, it is challenging both physically and mentally and it demands all of you - commitment, endurance, persistence, focus.” This is what you can read in the website of the Auroville Marathon (marathon.auroville.com). What is missing in this sentence is the pleasure the runners have. In the interview recorded at the arrival, we have heard a lot of appreciation for the beauty of the trail, the warm and familiar atmosphere and the good organization. Some athletes just make it short. Awesome. Read more

Coren, captain of Auroville's Ultimate Frisbee team, explains the game, how it reached Auroville and why it is here to stay. The team recently came back from the Chennai Ultimate Frisbee Tournament in which they won the 'Spirit of the Game' award. The award is given to the group who keeps the game fun, joyous and full of goodwill. A game which develops these qualities makes this game 'at home' in Auroville.

| | Thursday, 30 April 2009 |  Last Wednesday, 22nd of April a "Conversation Cafe" on Holistic Food Systems took place at La Terrace. There were not as many participants as had been hoped for, but still a very interesting conversation took place. Some well known Auroville faces such as Krishna, Anandi, Antonio, and Marc (of course) took part as well as some guests and visitors, too. Main theme was a question: Is Auroville really working towards a holistic food system? Or, what could we do to become self sustainable?
Enjoy this 45 min. long excerpt of the conversation by clicking PLAY to download it.
