In this episode, I am taking you to Sadhana Forest, on the outskirts of Auroville in the State of Tamil Nadu in south India.

Sadhana Forest has a community of volunteers who live completely off-grid, demonstrating an alternative way of living. 20 years ago Sadhana Forest was arid land, and over the years volunteers have successfully reforested 70 acres of land with indigenous Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest. Sadhana Forest has since spread its work within India and internationally with ecological projects in Haiti, Kenya and Namibia.

I was lucky to chat with Luke Marsh, originally from the UK and now a long-term volunteer of 7 years in Sadhana. I hope you enjoy hearing from Luke and learning more about what Sadhana Forest is all about.
