FACILITATORS


Parvathi
The Retreat:
Auroville is an experimental community in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.
Anyone with idealistic ideas will be excited to visit ‘the City of Dawn’. It’s an international community and their purpose is to realise human unity in diversity. The inhabitants are dedicated to sustainable living, peace, harmony and spirituality.
Conscious eating and ayurvedic practices has long been practiced by so many who have come before us who have used it as a tool to access their deeper selves, to cleanse the body and purify the mind. This has a strong effect on us as we begin to open to a deeper connection within and without. The result is that we start looking at our lives and where we are with a fresh and clear vision.
With this clarity it becomes easier to lead and direct our lives fluently and aligned to our Dahrma.
Our deeper selves are accessed, channelled through the practice of yoga, meditation, meditating in the matrimandir temple, e-bicycle ride, emotional release, ayurvedic workshop and experiencing long held reverence for the ancient practices in this place of high energy.

Accomodation
We will stay at Vérité guest house, it attracts guests who are seekers (and finders!): people who are striving for a healthy, balanced lifestyle, who want to help regenerate a planet that supports all life, and who feel the call to participate in the shift of consciousness that is needed to bridge matter and spirit.
Available room type and options:
Option1: single bedroom with common detached bath facilities
Option 2: double bedroom (2 individual beds) - with bath attached
Vérité offers a simple, healthy lifestyle where you can:
-
Nourish yourself with delicious organic food

Regenerate in a healthy sustainable environment
-
Discover the simple comforts of green technology

Enjoy our casual, inclusive "home stay" atmosphere
Vérité's entire campus is a "positive health" zone, free of smoking, alcohol and drugs ("S.A.D"). While our state-of-the-art solar electricity system means Vérité is free from India's infamous power cuts, we also make it easy to "unplug": there are no televisions, mobile phones are used only in designated areas, and to reduce radiation exposure, internet is intentionally not wireless.
