In memoriam - Damien Hedley

On July 8th, Damien L. Hedley left his body at the age of 67 in Canberra, Australia, after a struggle with cancer. His funeral was held on July 13th at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Damien joined Auroville in 2009 and was a resident of Creativity. He was a popular teacher. He taught at Future School, Last School and, most recently, The Learning Community, where he taught a sex education series along with his Aurovilian partner, Paula Murphy.

Damien had studied the I Ching, the Enneagram and first read Sri Aurobindo in 1971. He gave this advice, “Tell the Truth to yourself. Be true to yourself. Then you might have a chance to be truthful with others.”
