*The Auroville Global Fellowship - a new initiative*

Dear Community, 

On this aspirational day of Auroville’s 56th anniversary, we would like to communicate with you about the launch of a new initiative called the Auroville Global Fellowship. 

Given the existential crisis Auroville is going through, it feels more timely than ever to extend a call to friends, supporters and allies of Auroville in India and around the world to join us in a renewed effort to connect and engage with Auroville and what it represents, to navigate its challenges and help it progress towards its deepest purpose in the years ahead.

The Auroville Global Fellowship has been initiated as an email forum on which Auroville Fellows - people who have a deep connection with the community of Auroville, have visited the place and have significantly contributed to the world in fields related to the evolutionary ideals of Auroville - can be informed about current developments in Auroville, discuss them, and become a valuable sounding board. This forum will grow slowly, nurtured with care, and for now its exchanges will be restricted to those non-residents who agree to be part of the Fellowship. As with all things in Auroville, the evolution of the Fellowship will be emergent and its shape may organically evolve with time. 

We have already identified a first set of friends of Auroville and ex-Aurovilians of national and international significance who could become Fellows, and have approached them individually. Some of them have already agreed to join, while others are still yet to respond. Once it is functioning, names of the Fellows will be made available to those who are interested. 

If you want to know more about the Auroville Global Fellowship, you can read the invite letter (

) that we have been sending to potential Fellows. Please note that this initiative has been presented to and endorsed by the community-selected Working Committee of the Residents’ Assembly. 

If you have any questions, or would like to suggest names of people for the Auroville Global Fellowship, you can reach us at fellowship@auroville.community. 

We look forward to discovering where this new adventure will progressively lead us. 

In the Spirit of Fellowship,
