A Quest for Community
A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.
Wednesday, October 01, 2003
Auroville was founded in 1968, about 10 years before Damanhur, so it's more developed than Damanhur. It's now reached a critical mass of about 2000 Resident Aurovillians from 30 different countries, plus another 4500 or so Tamil workers from local villages, plus about 500 visitors at any given time. So it's a much bigger, more complex culture than Damanhur (and its official language is English!). Then Sychronicity began working and I learned about the Global Family trip to Auroville being planned for October. When I discovered that my old friends Kathy and Makasha (Howard) Roske, from the Hummingbird Ranch intentional community in New Mexico, were going, I decided to sign up.
