This weekend I’m dodging cows, dogs, and goats on my moped through the streets of Tamil Nadu. The engine lets out a constant scream as I ride full-throttle at 40 kph. My usual preference for a cycle is impractical for this weekend’s agenda–I’m attending a Bamboo workshop at the Bamboo Center in Auroville.

On my 4-day weekend break from work, I took a 7-hour bus ride from Bangalore in Karnataka to Pondicherry in Tamil Nadu. Auroville is an incredible community with more wisdom per-capita than I’ve ever experienced in any town or city. Any traveler should land here with the intention to stay a few weeks, and the will to stay a few months. There’s volunteer opportunities at every corner, with immense potential for useful knowledge in permaculture, sustainable architecture, community, and spirituality.
