Please join us for our next Auro-Family Gathering in North California:

from 10am till 9pm
at Sri Aurobindo Sadhana Peetham
2621 W. Hwy 12, Lodi, CA 95242

We hope to have some focus on AVI work that we can do together. More details will be sent to those receiving AVIUSA's emails. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by email at sasp@lodi.net

The last Auro-Family get-together in September was very satisfying (see AVIUSA News 191 and Summer 2004). An unexpected downpour of rain created an opportunity for the Auroville/Ashram communities here to have an inspiring conversation about our differences and sameness on a deeper level than we have had before, laying a groundwork for future collaborations and programs.

The First June Reunion
 

June 5th and 6th, Lodi, CA

   

AVIUSA has decided to hold annual regional reunions for the AuroFamily in the USA. The first of these will be in Lodi, CA on June 5th and 6th, 2004. Later this year another will be held on the East Coast.

We'll post more information here as the gathering takes shape. In the meantime, check out the the invitation postcard we just sent out.
