We're mid-semester and have just completed a week of intense reflection, integration, and celebration before leaving for 2.5 weeks of travel tomorrow morning.  We organized the week around Ken Wilbur's Four-Quadrant Integral Model and spent time exploring our "Interior and Exterior" "Individual and Collective" experiences.  It was very enlightening and inspiring.

Also, this morning, we had the last of seven public seminars that Living Routes collaboratively offered with Auroville.  Today's topic was "Social Sustainability", which is certainly a juicy and often confusing issue in a community with over 2000 members from 43 countries and 4000 day workers from surrounding villages.  We heard from two long-term Aurovillians and their stories and insights were deeply moving.

During our travels, we will visit a farm developed by a Living Routes alumni, a Tibetan enclave, temples and palaces in Mysore, and a nature preserve, where students will engage in a 48-hour Sacred Solo.  I'm sure there will be lots more to share when we return on April 7th.
