Eco Film Club
The Eco Film Club is a weekly evening of community, learning, and inspiration. Each Friday, we open our forest home in Auroville, India to everyone for a unique experience that includes:
✓ Tour of Sadhana Forest: explore our reforestation project and learn about our mission, challenges, and vision for the future.
✓ Screening of an environmental or social documentary: films that deepen our understanding of ecosystems, compassion, and sustainable living.
✓ Shared vegan dinner: whole-food, plant-based meals (with dessert!) lovingly prepared by volunteers.
The evening is free and open to all. No reservations required. Everything is offered as a gift.
The Eco Film Club welcomes people of all ages, and we love for children to join the tour, film, and dinner if they’d like; there is also a dedicated children-only area where they can play and explore freely.

A Welcoming, Substance-Free Space
When you join us for the Eco Film Club, you are stepping into our home, Sadhana Forest. Our home is a vegan and substance-free space, created to nurture compassion and conscious living.
To respect this space and everyone in it, we kindly ask that you do not bring:
• Alcohol, tobacco, drugs or any intoxicants of any kind
• Non-vegan food or products (including dairy, eggs, honey, fish, or meat)
• Single-use plastics or disposable packaging
This helps us keep our home safe, inclusive, and aligned with the values we live by every day.
