During the holidays, we propose to activate a new way of living, a quiet and active revolution with everyone's participation, a divine birth in all of our hearts.
In these days during which the ancient traditions recall how light and life are born from darkness, let us make this ideal not only a dream for children but an offering that we give ourselves.
Let's take our lives into our own hands!
A colorful exploration of Damanhur and an interview with Falco is featured in the book Countdown to Coherence: A Spiritual Journey Toward a Scientific Theory of Everything by Hazel Courteney, author, broadcaster and journalist who writes on health and spiritual themes. In Chapter 13 of the book, "The Alchemist, the Temples and the Nature of Time," Courteney recounts her visit to Damanhur in November 2009, describing, amongst other aspects of Damanhur, the construction of the Temples of Humankind.
During her fascinated exploration, Courteney speaks with Falco about Atlantis, mystery archeology, the nature of time, consciousness, evolution and reincarnation. Falco's words, from the book...
Margus Aru, founder of a community in Estonia, came to visit Damanhur after hearing about us from Estonian friends who were present for the Global Ecovillage Network conference here last July. Margus has constructed a village of pyramid houses, built according to Egyptian proportions. This project was begun 8 years ago, and 8 families live there currently. Two more pyramids are being constructed, and there is space for another 6 pyramids in the future.
Margus previously worked as a designer, and after a period of meditation in the woods, he returned to the capital of Estonia to materialize a vision of a place of harmony and love where people can live together. He acquired land and begin constructing the pyramid structures, welcoming others to share in the dream. A central pyramid in the village serves as a spiritual center, where seminars are held for individual work and group sessions of techniques ranging from yoga to rebirthing and fire-walking.
Launched at the end of December, the project New Life is proceeding non-stop. New Life, if you remember from previous newsletters, offers everyone the possibility to be a citizen of Damanhur for three months, even as a first approach to Damanhur (info: 이 이메일 주소는 스팸봇으로부터 보호됩니다. 보시려면 자바스크립트를 사용 가능으로 해야됩니다. ). The three-month period of citizenship substitutes the trial period of formation that Damanhur citizens traditionally go through. At the end of the three months, one can repeat for another three months, become a resident citizen, or move on to another experience.
Now in mid-December, there are already 25 New Life citizens who have come to Damanhur from Italy, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Norway, Switzerland, Hungary, Brazil and Japan. They are finding their place within the communities of Damanhur, and another 130 people have stated their intention to come by next June.

Saveit4aSong was lucky enough to capture a demonstration of a ‘singing’ plant, with the use of some intriguing technology. Technology that could make us question our beliefs about the plant world..."
