Podcasts about Auroville

L'utopie où j'ai vécu retrace sous la forme d'un journal sonore le périple de la réalisatrice qui revient en Inde à Auroville, alors que la cité unique est menacée d'être récupérée par les extrémistes hindous au pouvoir. Partir pour tenter l'expérience d'une uopie bien réelle fondée par Shri Aurobindo et la mère, c'est ce que Chloé a fait il y a 20 ans. Elle a vécu à Auroville 5 ans dont elle dira que ce sont les plus belles années de sa vie. Alors elle y retourne avec sa petite fille de 4 ans pour lui offrir de grandir dans un lieu sans propréiété, sans police, où les hommes et les femmes apprennent à vivre en paix, au-delà de toute croyance. Mais les choses à Auroville aussi ont bien changé.

C'est un phénomène planétaire, les villes s'étendent, car elles attirent de plus en plus de monde. Depuis 2008, plus de la moitié de la population mondiale est urbaine, bientôt les deux tiers, annoncent les experts de l'ONU ! Mais qu'est-ce qui nous donne envie de vivre en ville ? L'accès facilité à l'eau, à l'électricité, aux infrastructures de santé et d'éducation et aux emplois qui peuvent permettre une ascension sociale. Mais les mégapoles qui abritent plus de 10 millions d'habitants ont aussi leur face sombre : leur gigantisme consomme énormément de ressources planétaires qui ne sont pas illimitées et elles sont au quotidien oppressantes, minérales et polluées. D'ailleurs, d'autres modèles du vivre ensemble émergent.Avec Guillaume Faburel,géographe et professeur à l'Université Lyon 2, auteur de Indécence urbaine - Pour un nouveau pacte avec le vivant (Flammarion, 2023). Et le reportage de Côme Bastin sur le plus ancien et le plus grand éco-village du monde : Auroville, en Inde :L'expérience singulière d'Auroville naît en 1968 dans le sud-est de l'Inde, dans l'État du Tamil Nadu, près de Pondichéry. Des centaines de volontaires d'Inde et du monde entier ont répondu à l'appel d'une mystique franco-indienne : Mira Alfassa, qui rêve d'une ville dédiée à la spiritualité et l'écologie, où l'argent, la propriété et la nationalité n'ont pas d'importance. Avec des hauts et des bas, ces pionniers vont transformer un plateau désertique en un havre de verdure et expérimenter de nouvelles formes d'architecture et de vivre ensemble, sous la protection bienveillante de l'État indien. Enfin, ça, c'était jusqu'en 2021. Car depuis trois ans, l'État indien a entrepris de reprendre en main Auroville et sa communauté, jugées un peu trop cosmopolites et baba cool. Cette émission est une rediffusion du 21 février 2025.

Mirra Alfassa, known as The Mother, was a close spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo, a key figure in the development and growth of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and the later establishment of Auroville. They met in 1914 and recognized each other as spiritual companions destined to work together for the transformation of the world.  In this episode, the two powerful entities come together to discuss the 7 Rays, Activations and give incredible messages from the other side.   For information regarding Activations click here.

Andrea was born during WW2 in the Netherlands.  She experienced a traumatic childhood given her father's participation in the Nazi SS which cast a long shadow over her life.  Despite these challenges, she embarked on a journey toward healing.  Her search took her across the globe, where she eventually found solace, purpose and community.  In The Pressing Stones, Andrea relates eighty years of her life exploring her deeply intimate and emotional journey, exploring family, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, motherhood, psychedelic therapy, addiction recovery, and the generational aspects of war.  It also presents a personal portrait of life in Auroville, the "City of Dawn," dedicated to the spiritual visions of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.   Andrea's story illustrates how freedom, joy, peace of mind, and happiness are possible, as we face our deepest truths and emerge from our darkest tribulations.   For additional historical information on elements of Dutch collaboration with the Nazi SS and active participation in the Holocaust, please see:  https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/netherlands-greatest-number-jewish-victims-western-europe/ This podcast is available on your favorite podcast platform, or here:  https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-307-andrea-van-de-loo-the-pressing-stonesancestral-trauma    

After India achieved independence from the British in 1947, there remained five scattered territories governed by the French imperial state. It was not until 1962 that France fully relinquished control. Once decolonization took hold across the subcontinent, Western-led ashrams and utopian communities remained in and around the former French territory of Pondicherry—most notably the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and the Auroville experimental township, which continue to thrive and draw tourists today. Unsettling Utopia: The Making and Unmaking of French India (Columbia UP, 2021) presents a new account of the history of twentieth-century French India to show how colonial projects persisted beyond formal decolonization. Through the experience of the French territories, Jessica Namakkal recasts the relationships among colonization, settlement, postcolonial sovereignty, utopianism, and liberation, considering questions of borders, exile, violence, and citizenship from the margins. She demonstrates how state-sponsored decolonization—the bureaucratic process of transferring governance from an imperial state to a postcolonial state—rarely aligned with local desires. Namakkal examines the colonial histories of the Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville, arguing that their continued success shows how decolonization paradoxically opened new spaces of settlement, perpetuating imperial power. Challenging conventional markers of the boundaries of the colonial era as well as nationalist narratives, Unsettling Utopia sheds new light on the legacies of colonialism and offers bold thinking on what decolonization might yet mean. Jessica Namakkal is assistant professor of the practice in international comparative studies at Duke University. Samee Siddiqui is a PhD Candidate at the Department of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His dissertation explores discussions relating to religion, race, and empire between South Asian and Japanese figures in Tokyo from 1905 until 1945. Learn more about your ad choices.

En Inde, c'est une ville au nom évocateur, fondée en 1968 par une poignée d'Indiens et de hippies du monde entier. Auroville, près de Pondichéry, est un havre de paix dédié au yoga, à l'écologie et à la spiritualité. Mais le gouvernement a décidé de la faire grandir à coups de bulldozers et de décrets autoritaires. Résultat, cette utopie portée par 4 000 habitants n'est plus que l'ombre d'elle-même. De notre envoyé spécial à Auroville, Pas loin du Matrimandir, ce bâtiment symbolique d'Auroville, en Inde, dédié à la méditation en forme de sphère dorée, Lata, une géographe indienne installée à Auroville depuis 2003, nous guide à travers la forêt devant une grande route en construction. « Ici, vous pouvez voir ce qu'ils ont fait, on dirait une carrière ou une mine. Il y avait un lac et une forêt à cet endroit, se désole-t-elle. Et désormais, on dirait que l'on va y construire une ligne de chemin de fer qui ne mène à rien et qui ne sert à rien. Même sur les routes qui ont déjà été construites, on ne voit pas de véhicules ! »Depuis l'arrivée d'une nouvelle secrétaire à la tête d'Auroville, les chantiers se multiplient dans la nature. Au grand désespoir des habitants, qui prennent cependant le risque de se faire expulser d'Auroville s'ils contestent, voire d'Inde, certains étrangers ayant vu leur visa refusé. « Ils disent qu'ils n'ont aucune obligation de partager leurs plans avec le public et que ceux qui s'y opposent sont des criminels, dénonce Lata. Et c'est comme ça partout lorsqu'on essaie de poser des questions ou de manifester.

We tend to get depressed about the world situation we find ourselves in. The issues confronting humanity are seemingly threatening extinction of the human race and we see no easy solutions; in fact, they appear to be getting worse. We have numerous different directions that are suggested for a way forward. There are political solutions, economic solutions, technological solutions, environmental solutions, and some even propose simply finding a way to colonize another planet rather than solve the problems right here where we live. We feel small, isolated, alone and afraid for ourselves, our families and our world. Meanwhile we need to earn a living and find a way to survive the stress of daily life, much less focus on the bigger picture issues. The result of all this is mental paralysis. We then try to escape, to shut ourselves off, to drown our sorrows in alcohol or take up use of mind-numbing drugs, or simply closing our eyes to the issues and trying to march on our narrow path day in and day out, with a sense of duty.Very few find a way to break out of these approaches and truly look for something new and different that can change the dynamic. And those who do wonder how much their own personal efforts actually ‘matter'. In this session we intend to explore these issues and challenge conventional approaches to see how we can truly ‘make a difference'. #hundredth monkey #spiritual growth #change of consciousness #Auroville

We practice questions like "is only the vegetable in the bag?", "Is there [only] fruit in the shop?", "what is that?", "what is in the bottle?", and sentences like "There is water in the bottle", "Which tree[s] is / are there in Auroville?", "Does this plant exist in Thanjavoor?" "Does that flower exist in Thirunelvelli?"

Debería haber en la Tierra un lugar que ninguna nación pudiese reclamar como suyo; donde todo ser humano de buena voluntad, que tuviera una aspiración sincera pudiera vivir libre como ciudadano del mundo obedeciendo a una sola autoridad, la de la suprema verdad. Mirra Alfassa. La cita anterior se puede ver en la entrada de Auroville, la ciudad al sur de la India que invita a formar seres humanos conectados con su cuerpo y su propósito desde pequeños.

 I remember months ago that my whole mission in India was going to fail. Devastating moments altered with great moments of contemplation on the Lord...My strategy was as a Bioenergetic/ EFT therapist just to feel and go in that terrible loss of failing... Brutally face it... Then I post it on Facebook, and my friends like Deborah Patel send me light….Because I didn't want to hang on failing and so to attract again and again failing, get rid of it as fast as possible!!!As a spiritual being, I wanted to surrender to God... So I did. In India, I lived in holy places, Auroville and Tiruvannamalai. On the holy Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai) hill I got the idea to write an additional Book…about Meditation… and then one book for Health...  Both books are already published. When I came back, I attracted the best Internet Marketing Products:  Product Launch Formula with Jeff Walker… He said: Give yourself the permission to fail! We need to win the game, but not every combat!Then the Udemy Facebook Ads marketing course from Jerry Banfield, he said: One of the best strategies is to make a Facebook group… Yes, failing is great and the best thing that can happen to you!  My Video: https://youtu.be/aRRuVPT9CQIMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.A/What-to-do-when-we-fail-on-a-bigger-scale.mp3

Así comenzó la construcción de una nueva cuidad muy especial, denominada «Auroville» (cuidad de la autora), a pocos kilómetros de Puduchery, en la costa de Coromandel, en la India. Se ha dicho de ella: «Por fin ha llegado el día esperado durante tanto tiempo; el día que San Juan vio Patmos [se refiere a la venida de la ciudad de Dios], con el que soñó el poeta Shelley, y que los hombres consideraban una ilusión: la ciudad de la felicidad, la edad de oro» (Revista Planéte, sept-oct de 1968, p. 66). El propósito de Auroville, «la ciudad de la felicidad», es la creación de un «nuevo ser humano» que tendrá una conciencia superior y carecerá totalmente de maldad. Sus fundadores esperaban que allí las relaciones humanas se basaran en la comprensión y la armonía. Sus habitantes serían instruidos por un maestro espiritual y aprenderían a amarse unos a otros. Pero, como era de esperar, Auroville no ha logrado estos objetivos. De hecho, luego de la muerte de Alfassa, una de sus fundadoras, surgieron discordias y desencanto y los primeros pobladores decidieran marcharse. En las últimas décadas han aumentado los males que afligen a la humanidad. Lo único que puede restaurar la imagen de Dios en los seres humanos y traer la paz y la felicidad al mundo es la obra del Espíritu Santo en aquellos que aceptan a Jesús como su Salvador personal. Ellos entrarán por la «ciudad santa, la nueva Jerusalén», una ciudad donde verdaderamente se cumplirá el sueño de Dios para la humanidad. No obstante, existe una condición: «El que salga vencedor recibirá todo esto corno herencia; y yo seré su Dios y él será mi hijo. Pero en cuanto a los cobardes, los incrédulos, los odiosos, los asesinos, los que cometen inmoralidades sexuales, [...] y todos los mentirosos, a ellos les tocará ir al lago de azufre ardiente, que es la segunda muerte» (Apocalipsis 21: 7, 8).Y a ti, ¿te gustaría ser un vencedor y entrar por las puertas de «la santa ciudad»?

This episodes features Craig Patterson, a long-time activist and advocate weaving together multiple perspectives to address contemporary environmental issues. We talk about his commitment to integration and synthesis, seeking alliances and unity amidst difference. Some points of integration we discuss include science and spirituality, East and West, and theory and practice. He shares his formative experience in Auroville, the experimental city grounded in the integral thinking of the Indian philosopher and yogi Sri Aurobindo. He also talks about his dedication to issues of forestry in Oregon, where environmental science, policy, and management converge.

Bringing new life into the world requires levels of support practically unheard of in modern, western culture... unless you've cultivated community that is up for the task! Seasoned midwife and communitarian Monique Gauthier joins us today to help us envision birth from a deeply held and conscious space that brings about the creation of new culture on the planet. We'll cover the fascinating intersection of natural birth practices with the communities movement, how women and families can be supported through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum times, rites of passage around birth, and even how various types of loss can be held with tenderness and love.  Monique Gauthier has been a midwife in the U.S and Canada for 30 years.  She has lived in intentional communities for most of her adult life.  She currently lives in Auroville, in Southern India.  She was faculty for Living Routes, which ran college-level programs in ecovillages such as Findhorn, Auroville and Thích Nhất Hạnh's Plum Village, in France.   She has  produced  the documentaries "Follow The Dirt Road; An Introduction To Intentional Communities in The 1990's"  and "Birthing Peace", about her mindful water births. She calls herself a “cultural midwife” who is tending to the birth of a conscious culture. She leads workshops and coaches for empowered birth, conscious families,  mindfulness, and other mind-body-spirit topics.

My conversation with Monique Gauthier was too full of inspiring and helpful information, so I created this bonus episode to share some of the wisdom that couldn't fit in the full length episode. Here, Monique leads us through the centering meditation she does with her midwifery clients as they arrive in her office as well as shares some very practical tools for expecting families to cope with and prepare for labor.

With so many people jumping on the “compassion” bandwagon, Dr. Nandita Shah, founder of SHARAN (Sanctuary for Health and Reconnection to Animals and Nature), is an inspiration in the realms of holistic health and compassionate living. With over 40 years of medical practice, Dr. Shah's transformative journey from a busy Mumbai practice to the tranquil community of Auroville has profoundly shaped her approach to health. Her commitment extends beyond personal well-being to advocating for a cultural shift towards wellness, reconnection with nature, and compassionate living. During this episode of the NHA Health Science Podcast, Dr. Shah shares her journey from decades ago to now and what she is committed to in the future for the animals, the environment and health. Early Years and Transition to Veganism Born and raised in India, Dr. Shah initially embraced a vegetarian lifestyle. However, the belief in the necessity of milk for protein led her to consume three glasses of milk daily, along with yogurt and other dairy products. A realization of the ethical and health implications of dairy consumption prompted a swift transition to veganism. This marked not only a change in dietary choices but a resolute commitment to a lifestyle in harmony with nature and animals. Full post at: www.HealthScience.org/060-Nandita-Shah

You might not be ready for this episode. I spent well over 2h with the incredible Aurelio C. Hammer, a sound healer and explorer, an artisan crafting instruments that impact us through specific frequencies. Aurelio lives in Auroville, the last standing utopian community of that scale (where the first ever computer company of India was born) and created a company called SVARAM Musical Instruments & Research (https://svaram.org/). One of his specialties? The mathematics of music (I did not know such a term existed). You won't believe what you will learn about the powers of sound and its major impacts on our physical, mental and spiritual health. Here are some extracts of what we talk about in this episode 40:

This is a binaural mix of a nature soundscape involving a particular call and response, recorded while I was staying in Auroville, India. Recorded by Raghavendran Rajagopal.

"A song for our mother, is a calling for help from our Mother Earth. The recorded sounds gave me the inspiration to compose a story about our forgotten land, the forests. Where our mother is calling us back again. Hope, sorrow, strength, all at once as one body have given me the imaginary landscape to put my thoughts into the sound canvas." Birds in Auroville reimagined by ioannis vlastaris aka John Ov3rblast.

As we close out 2023, it's time to take stock of the Communities Movement and consider where we might be headed in the future. In this episode we are joined by new FIC co-director Daniel Greenberg, who brings his deep experience from the ecovillage world, as well years living in and researching international communities like Findhorn and Auroville to his visions for what is possible for collaborative culture, communities, and the people who live and grow inside them. In 1999, Daniel Greenberg founded the non-profit Living Routes, which partnered with UMass-Amherst to run study abroad programs based in ecovillages around the world. Over 1,500 students were transformed by these immersive experiences. Daniel left Living Routes in 2012 to start a new social venture called Earth Deeds, which offers online tools for individuals and groups to “onset” their unavoidable CO2 emissions and support meaningful sustainability projects. Daniel has been a leading advocate for sustainability within international education and the ecovillage movement. He chaired Sustainability Task Forces for NAFSA:  Association of International Educators and the Forum for Education Abroad, is co-founder and past Board Member of Gaia Education, served as President of the Global Ecovillage Network from 2015-2019, and is currently co-director of the Foundation for Intentional Community.

In art and design circles, the name George Nakashima is synonymous with expert woodworking, exquisite furniture, and high-quality craftsmanship. Over the past 30-plus years, his daughter, the architect and furniture maker Mira Nakashima, has not only artfully built upon his techniques and time-honored traditions, further cementing his legacy, but also stepped outside of his shadow and carved a name for herself. Having worked full-time at George Nakashima Woodworkers since 1970, Mira took over as its president and creative director upon her father's death in 1990. Since then, she has carried on his unfinished projects, continued producing dozens of his designs, and also developed many of her own creations, including her Keisho and Shoki furniture lines. Through it all, Mira has remained as humble as ever and maintained a deep reverence for her father, his boundless creativity, and his exacting vision.On this episode, Nakashima talks about her family's time spent in a Japanese internment camp during World War II; the enduring “karma yoga” influence of the Indian philosopher and spiritual leader Sri Aurobindo, whom her father once studied under and worked for as an architect; and why her father considered his work “an antidote to the modern world.”Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [01:15] George Nakashima Woodworkers[03:39] Nakashima Foundation for Peace[03:43] George Nakashima[03:52] Altar for Peace at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine[04:08] Altar for Peace at the Russian Academy of Arts[04:14] Altar for Peace in Auroville, India[08:42] Hague Appeal for Peace[13:52] Sri Aurobindo[15:36] Bnai Keshet[15:45] St. Martin of Tours[15:50] Monastery of Christ in the Desert[15:58] Queen of Peace Chapel[17:14] Ivan Wyschnegradsky[17:22] Antonin Raymond[17:36] Golconde[21:00] George Nakashima Woodworker[23:07] Katsura Imperial Villa[23:26] Junzō Yoshimura[30:11] Udar Pinto[31:27] The Soul of a Tree[42:07] Nature Form & Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima[45:22] The Krosnicks' furniture collection[49:54] Keisho collection[54:14] Shoki collection

In today's very special podcast we will re-air a discussion that was originally recorded and produced by our good friends at the East-West Psychology Department of the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for their own program, the East-West Psychology Podcast (https://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/). The discussion itself is an introduction to a set of two conferences to be held at the California Institute of Integral Studies in celebration of “150 Years of Sri Aurobindo, the Pioneer of Integral Consciousness.” The conferences will take place over the course of a week, starting on September 23, 2023 and concluding on September 30. This discussion is hosted by the East-West Psychology Podcast producers, Stephen Julich and Jonathan Kay. In this conversation, Circle for Original Thinking host and current Jean Gebser Society president, Glenn Aparicio Parry is a guest, along with Debashish Banerji, Chairman of the East-West Psychology Department. We hope this program will provide our listeners with some background on these very important conferences, and the life and work of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) who was the key figure in the development of a form of spiritual practice he called  “integral yoga,” as well as the life and work of the Swiss philosopher and visionary, Jean Gebser, author of the magnum opus, The Everpresent Origin. THE CONFERENCES: The first conference, “Sustainability and Contemplative Civilization: The Integral Vision of Sri Aurobindo,” organized by the East-West Psychology Department (EWP) and the Asian Contemplative and Transcultural Studies concentration (ACTS), will engage with the possibilities, problems and potential of a sustainable civilization based on a contemplative praxis of deep relationality and extended identity as implicit in the vision and teaching of Sri Aurobindo and as explicit in the experimental community of Auroville.   The second conference, “The Emergence of Integral Consciousness: Jean Gebser, Sri Aurobindo, Carl Jung, Teilhard De Chardin,” organized by the Jean Gebser Society, will address the coming integral age as foreseen by Gebser, Aurobindo, Jung, and Teilhard de Chardin. Each of these visionary thinkers in their own way foresaw the emergence of a new structure of consciousness beyond the limits of rational thought. Debashish Banerji is a Bengali scholar and Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures and the Doshi Professor of Asian Art at CIIS. He is also the Program Chair for the East-West Psychology department. Prior to CIIS, he served as Professor of Indian Studies and Dean of Academics at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles, CA.Stephen Julich is currently core faculty in the East-West Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies where he teaches classes Jungian Depth Psychology and Western Mysticism, Magic and Esotericism.Jonathan Kay is a transcultural musician, and is currently a PhD student in the department of East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr. Debashish Banerji.We wish to again state our very deep gratitude to the people at the East-West Psychology Department and the California Institute of Integral Studies for the critical work that they do every day, and their generosity in sharing the content of this episode with Circle for Original Thinking. For more information about the conferences:https://www.ciis.edu/events/150-years-of-sri-aurobindo-pioneer-of-integral-consciousnessAlso please visit:https://www.ciis.edu/https://www.ciis.edu/academics/department-east-west-psychologyhttps://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/https://gebser.org/www.jonathankay.ca

Tomás Pinheiro takes us to Auroville, an experimental township mostly in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, to see what lessons we can learn from this “laboratory for humanity”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation on the  geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe. The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. He takes us from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.Robert Lawlor (1938-2022) was a mythographer, symbologist and author of several books.  After training as a painter and a sculptor, he became a yoga student of Sri Aurobindo and lived for many years in Puducherry, where he was a founding member of Auroville. In India, he discovered the works of the French Egyptologist and esotericist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, which led him to explore the principles and practices of ancient sacred science.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  November 20, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

Today's podcast features a collective reading of Francesca Ferrando's new text Existential Posthumanism: A Manifesto. It is set to a drone instrument called a sound bed, made up on a hundred strings, with live musical interludes played on the esraj by myself. The podcast ends with my own transcultural re-imagination of the jazz standard Nature Boy. In the next episode of the podcast we take a deep dive in unpacking this text with Francesca. Dr. Ferrando (pronouns: they/them) teaches Philosophy at New York University (US), NYU-Program of Liberal Studies, as an Adjunct Assistant Professor. Dr. Ferrando holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy (University of Roma Tre, Italy), to which the European Doctoral Fellowship was granted. They received an M.A. in Gender Studies (Utrecht University, Holland), Director of the Program: Prof. Rosi Braidotti. Dr. Ferrando was a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University (US) twice, and an Independent Researcher at the University of Reading (England), working on Cyborg Theory with Prof. Kevin Warwick. Recipient of the Philosophical Prize "Premio Sainati", with the Acknowledgment of the President of the Italian Republic, Dr. Ferrando is the author of several publications; their latest book is Philosophical Posthumanism (Bloomsbury).

Are periods simply a burden for women to bear? Can menstruation education cause systemic change for the better in women's welfare? What are the implications of women revitalizing menstrual practices on society and the earth? In this special episode, Effy talks to the co-founder of EcoFemme Kathy Walkling about how rethinking menstruation and menstruation education can cause radical social change in women's welfare. Kathy explains EcoFemme's approach to menstruation that is healthy, environmentally sustainable, culturally responsive and empowering and Effy has a profound shift in her relationship with her body and the earth as the conversation unfolds. To find out more about KathyKathy Walkling is the co-founder of Eco Femme, a women-led social enterprise working to create environmental and social change by promoting menstrual practices that are healthy, dignified, affordable and eco-positive. Kathy heads Eco Femme's research and not-for-profit menstrual health education and pad distribution programmes, Pad for Pad and Pads for Sisters. Originally from Australia, Kathy moved to the international community of Auroville in Tamil Nadu, India in 1997. Grounded in Auroville's commitment to human unity and sustainable living, her passion for care of the earth and the sacred feminine were well-nourished, giving rise to Eco Femme in 2010.Prior to this, Kathy worked with the Auroville Village Action Group (AVAG), a local grassroots NGO, where she established community-led teaching programmes for children and livelihood programmes for women, in the villages neighboring Auroville. More recently, Kathy has been a core founding member of the Auroville Citizens' Assembly which successfully launched with a pilot project in early 2021. Kathy is an active member of the Menstrual Health Alliance, India, and completed Dasra‘s Social Impact Leadership Programme in 2014Throughout her journey, Kathy has been a staunch advocate for empowerment built upon non-judgemental, culturally responsive and accurate education to individuals and prompting critical thinking—in a nutshell, “informed choice”. This approach is about more than menstrual products; it is about supporting individual's personal transformation and reconnecting with themselves, one another and the environment. Naturally, Kathy cherishes spending time in wild spaces simply“being” and turning within to reflect, question and embrace never-ending learning!Instagram: @ecofemmeYoutube: @ecofemmeindiaFacebook: ecofemmeindiaonline Eco femme shop: www.ecofemme.orgSupport the showConnect with us on IG and more:Curious Fox @wearecuriousfoxesEffy Blue @coacheffyblueJacqueline Misla @jacquelinemisla Email us: listening@wearecuriousfoxes.comLeave us a voicemail: 646-450-9079 Join the conversation: fb.com/WeAreCuriousFoxes

Can an ideal human community ever be achieved? Socrates believed such a community would only be possible if and when humans develop an “erotic zeal for philosophy.” Santa Fe tutor Patricia Greer was a founding pioneer of the intentional community and ecovillage of Auroville, India, where she witnessed first-hand the tension between philosophical ideals that exist in both Eastern and Western philosophy and the political realities that arise when humans attempt to realize them together. In this episode, Greer sits down with host tutor Sarah Davis, where lived experience leads us through a conversation on Plato's Republic, Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk, and the conflict between the ideals that America was founded upon and the lived reality of life in America and beyond.
