What is education truly for?
What knowledge should a human being as a human being possess and develop?
Is there a knowledge, possessing which, all else can be known?

Towards Synthesis
June 2026
The Integral Educators Practitioners Gathering is an annual forum that brings together educators, facilitators, researchers, parents and collaborators engaged in the exploration of Integral Education.
It offers a space for reflection, dialogue and shared inquiry rooted in the vision of Sri Aurobindo, The Mother and the evolving experiment of Auroville.
This year’s theme, Towards Synthesis, arises from a growing recognition that education today calls not only for knowledge and skill, but for the capacity to hold complexity, embrace multiple perspectives and discover deeper unities behind apparent differences.
Three Days of Collective Inquiry
Over three days, participants will explore a journey from the individual to the collective:
Day 1
Why am I here
The gathering begins with an inward inquiry into the educator’s own aspiration and purpose. Through readings, reflection and dialogue, we explore the qualities needed for inner growth and conscious participation in the work of education.
Day 2
With you
Education unfolds in relationships. We encounter different personalities, temperaments, perspectives and ways of knowing. Through collective inquiry, participants will explore how diversity can become a source of complementarity, collaboration and mutual growth.
Day 3
Now
The final day turns toward the present collective moment. How do we move beyond division and fixed positions? How do we cultivate the capacity for synthesis? Drawing upon the insights of the previous days, participants will explore possibilities for action, collaboration and the future of Integral Education in Auroville.
