people on Earth have no inkling of it.' – Richard Grossinger, Anthropologist. Energetically, the temples are reinforced with tons and tons of metal structures in the walls in accordance with the application of an ancient spiritual technology called Selfica. Traces of Selfica can be found in Egyptian, Etruscan and Celtic cultures, and among ancient Arabs. It is believed that Selfica was widely used in Atlantis. This discipline allows the creation of structures based on the form of the spiral and the use of various materials – such as metals, colours, inks, and minerals – capable of hosting intelligent energies. These energies, called Selfs, can interact with and support life processes that aid in our human development. While the 'Temples of Humankind', today, are a living tribute to all of humanity and beyond, the vision for it is not yet complete. The next big step in the construction process is being actively planned. A new temple, the Temple of Peoples, will serve as a meeting place and cultural conservatory for all the people of the world. There is no doubt that the citizens of Damanhur will continue to build not only for themselves, but for everyone else.
A unique spiritual festival where Practitioners working with creative healing energies will converge and share this gift. A space to explore the landscape of spirituality in a new era of conscious living, wellness and inner peace
An active commitment for a sustainable world
Life in Damanhur is busy, as practical work is seen as the most important form of meditation. The practical application of Damanhurian principles is brought into the physical world of action via sustainable choices and models on all levels: social, political, economic and spiritual. This message spurs citizens of Damanhur to create a completely different world based on the wisdom and self-determination of the people. In addition to their work inside the federation, Damanhurians are working for the common good of all people: in politics, where they have come to make up a substantial part of the local government; in voluntary work and health care, where the doctors are using traditional and alternative healing methods side-by-side; and in agriculture, where self-sufficiency is an aim. So far, this aim has been reached in providing 70% of water supplies for bathrooms; in obtaining 35% of electricity supplies from photo-voltaic installations, solar panels and small hydro-electric turbines; in obtaining 90% of the supplies for heating with wood from healthy woodlands; and in the use of, and research into, renewable energy. In 2005, Damanhur received a UN award as a model for a sustainable future, emphasising how, as a spiritual community, it is successfully integrating with the local society. Since Damanhur cannot be copied, the goal is to help build a network of communities — to inspire others to explore their own unique possibilities and create a society of communities exchanging with one another. For this reason, one of the courses offered by the university is, 'How to Create a Successful Community,' which shares the knowledge and experience drawn from more than 30 years in Valchiusella. Other courses offered by Damanhur are aimed at developing the human potential. A fundamental aspect of Damanhurian philosophy is that humans carry a divine spark within us, and that we can evolve to realise this divine nature. Where Atlantis represented a time when mankind was more aware of belonging to larger spiritual eco-system, many of their faculties since then have lain dormant. Many of the Damanhurian courses are aimed at reawakening
