  • It's very differently beautiful to stay in middle of a forest, living a forest life, learning more about sustainable living.

  • Impressed! And inspired I came to Auroville for 2 weeks for New Year and was looking for activities there. The first community I found on the Net was Sadhana Forest. I am in love with nature so went there just as visitor on the lunch time. I was warmly welcomed, offered lunch and shown around. I really liked the friendly atmosphere and the sparkles on the eyes of volunteers. So I returned on Friday for a bigger tour, dinner and films. It was amazing evening which made me think about dairy product consumption Today I came one more time for morning seva to spend time with cows. We cleaned the shed and then fed the cows and brushed them. All finished with fruit breakfast I'd really recommend people especially from cities to come and connect with Nature
  • Life in Sadhana Forest is like nothing I have ever experienced before, volunteering here changes your perception of life itself. I have been here for almost two months and enjoyed every aspect fo this project. Living in nature, working with amazing people from very different backgrounds makes this experience unique. There is also an animal sanctuary, where you can take care of rescued cows! Definitely one of the best project in Auroville!
