Aloka

For almost two decades, Rosa lived in Auroville, immersed in the transformative work of Awareness Through the Body (ATB). Now she is bringing ATB workshops and advanced training to South America and plans to work with educators and trauma therapists in underserved areas, providing training that facilitates trauma release and inner balance.

Initially created as a sub-group of Third-Age (under Mattram’s umbrella), the “Let’s Talk About Death” group aims to reach any age of Auroville’s population by providing time, space and content to talk freely about death.

Awareness through the Body (ATB) is one of Auroville’s truly groundbreaking programmes. Beginning in 1993, Aloka, Joan and people who have since become facilitators in ATB have helped generations of students, as well as adults, to know and manage the complexity of their own being through simple tools rooted in sensory experience.
