Living Routes

Calling all alumni from Living Routes’ programs in Auroville, India.  Would you like to reconnect with your peers and other folks passionate about Auroville, India, and sustainable living?  Then have we got the event and deal for you!

Auroville International USA’s annual gathering will be at the Sirius Community this year from June 21-24 and we are combining it with a Living Routes Auroville reunion!  The gathering will be experiential and include…

• Presentations by Bindu Mohanty (Living Routes faculty), Carel Thieme (Editor of Auroville Today), Daniel Greenberg (Founder of Living Routes), and more.
• Opportunities to connect with other alumni and share stories and good times.
• Awareness Through the Body, hatha yoga and pranayama.
• Hikes, music, good food and a lot of fun.
• … and Much More!

Through generous contributions from Sirius, the Foundation for World Education, and Living Routes, we are able to offer the following steep discounts to support your participation (these prices include all meals):

• $30 – Commuting (normally $150).  There may be some tenting spaces at Daniel Greenberg’s house near Sirius
• $60 – Tenting at Sirius (normally $240)
• $120 – Shared Room (normally $340).  We encourage commuting or tenting if possible to offer rooms to “older folks” who might need them more.

These amazing rates will only be available to the first 20 Living Routes alumni, so please reserve your space a.s.a.p. by sending your check (payable to “Matagiri”) to Matagiri, PO Box 676, Woodstock NY 12498 and the following information to info@matagiri.org:

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the staff at The Mill Fudge Factory want to tell you about a way you can give something really delicious to the mums in your life while also supporting the mission at Living Routes.

The Mill Fudge Factory in Bristol, NH has partnered with Living Routes (the Mill’s Chief Fudge Officer is Noah Munro, a Living Routes alumnus) to help raise money online through our secure fudge fundraising page:

http://www.TheMillFudgeFactory.com/livingroutes.aspx

Imagine Chocolate Covered fudge in the shape of hearts and flowers! These are more satisfying than even the best gourmet chocolate truffles.

The flower photos are coming soon, but both are filled with solid Belgian Chocolate fudge and hand dipped into Belgian milk and white chocolate. The perfect  for all the wonderful mother’s in your life!

The fudge is made with only the finest natural ingredients such as Callebaut Belgian chocolate and a touch of pure honey. No corn syrup or any artificial ingredients.

You can pre-order now at:
http://www.TheMillFudgeFactory.com/living routes.aspx and the fudge will arrive by Mother’s Day. You must order by May 8th for on-time delivery (May 9th if it’s going to NH).

20% of your order will come right back in support of Living Routes.

We appreciate your support and wish you a very sweet Mother’s Day!

P.S. Upon ordering, you will begin to receive newsletters from The Mill Fudge Factory containing discounts and links to buy fudge. We ask that you please use these emails only as reminders. To support us, you must always start your fudge shopping at our fundraising page above and you cannot use any discount codes. Thank you for your cooperation.
