Auroville Global Fellowship website and newsletter: an invitation to participate
Dear Auroville residents, friends and well-wishers of Auroville,
A website has been created for the Auroville Global Fellowship. Here is the link:
The website describes the history, purpose, and projects of the Fellowship. It also has a page dedicated to the January 2025 report “Auroville in Crisis & the Way Forward”. There is also a page for a new project of the Fellowship – a newsletter that is being launched in June.
The newsletter is titled ‘Auroville Witness’. Its goal is to publish first-person stories from those living in Auroville, past residents, or who have had a long-term relationship with Auroville. We are looking to present individual voices and experiences, the lived reality in Auroville at this moment. You can read more and subscribe on the website: https://aurovilleglobalfellowship.org/witness/
If you are interested in contributing, below is a brief introduction:
What does it feel like living with the changes of recent years? How has the atmosphere changed? What is it like living under the new administration? Talk to us about Auroville as you are experiencing it. Talk to us of your life in Auroville.
Personal, heartfelt reflections speak to people everywhere. They are especially important in conveying the real-life impact of the situation on life in Auroville and are powerful in a way that no other form of communication can match.
To submit a story, please send an email to [email protected] with “Submission” in the subject line. Please explain whether you are a resident of Auroville, an ex-resident, or your relation to the community. Any other background information is also appreciated.
If you feel hesitant about sharing your experience, what can we do so that you are confident and motivated to share in Auroville Witness?
Please write in your primary language if you are not comfortable writing in English. You can also send an audio recording, or we can arrange an interview. We will do our best to ensure your privacy if you wish to be anonymous.
Many thanks. We look forward to reading and sharing your narratives. Each voice and lived experience matters.
Sincerely,
