The Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary is dedicated to the plants of the Western Ghats, a mountain range running down the western coastline of peninsular India. Founded in 1981 by Wolfgang Theuerkauf, the Sanctuary is a garden of wild plant species grown at the edge of a rainforest reserve. The intention is to rehabilitate endangered species and restore habitats in a highly fragmented landscape, in which only a fraction of original forest remains and a high percentage of species are rare, vulnerable or threatened by imminent extinction. The Sanctuary is run by a small group of resident gardeners, naturalists and educators, and supported by a wide circle of well-wishers. Together it offers an approach that is connected to the climate, land, habitats, plants, animals and people of the Western Ghats.

Center for Learning (CFL) is a space for learners interested in discovering what it means to live an authentic, personally meaningful and socially responsible life. It is a space for understanding one’s responsibility towards oneself, others and towards one’s work. The face of CFL is an alternative education centre that supports learners of all ages to connect with themselves; figure out their values, interests and direction in life. The heart of CFL is a continuing enquiry to understand what is education beyond formal schooling. At CFL the attempt is to understand the challenges of living meaningful, responsible and self-regulated lives of inner and outer harmony. The hope is to evolve a lifestyle and a way of looking at things that is truly just, that genuinely respects the cultural and biological diversity of all living beings and bring out the best in individuals and as a collective.
