Organisational Aspects
Governance, self-organisation, responsibility, institutions, and the tension between ideals and systems.
How does one organise without hierarchy, power, or ownership?
This section dives into one of Auroville’s most difficult questions: governance. It explores organisation not as administration alone, but as an expression of collective consciousness—or its absence.
Topics include self-governance, decision-making, responsibility, institutional structures, working groups, leadership without authority, and the tension between ideals and execution. These essays examine both the letter and the spirit of organisation—where systems support evolution, and where they obstruct it.
Organisation, in Auroville, is not about control. It is about alignment, maturity, and shared responsibility.
