Patrick Joubert

Caretaker of the Dana Evergreen Forest

On Friday, 30th September, our friend and long-term Aurovilian Patrick Joubert, left his body at his home in Dana after a difficult battle with cancer, at the age of 63. His partner Marie Angèle and daughter Emma were with him; daughter Kali was on the way from France.

About 

Hailing from France, Patrick came to Auroville in 1975. Since almost thirty years he has been living with his family in Dana where he planted a little tropical dry evergreen forest, lovingly cultivating it throughout the years.

In the afternoon of Monday 3 October, after remaining several days in the Crown Road Farewell centre for a last viewing and visit from friends, Patrick’s body was buried in Dana where family and friends had arranged for a peaceful setting in the forest he cared for so dearly. 

Thank you for having been with us, Patrick. Our warmest condolences go out to Marie Angèle, and Emma and Kali.
