Blown Away by the Temples of Humankind

One cool Spring morning, I stepped on the treadmill at the gym looking forward to walking a few miles.

Recovering from an injury, I had to walk at a moderate pace so I had brought my copy of What Is Enlightenment? magazine to explore. This was a while back when magazines were still common (April-June issue, 2007) before everything was offered on your phone. I always found something to inspire me within this publication focused upon consciousness, culture, and cosmos.

I was intrigued by the theme of that issue: “Searching for Utopia. Exploring humanity’s timeless quest for heaven earth.”

A cover always offers a hint of what’s inside and I immediately focused upon “The Story of Damanhur: Unearthing the Secrets of a Thriving Utopian Experiment.” I figured the world could benefit from knowledge gained from a “thriving experiment.” So could I.

“Atlantis in the mountains of Italy.” Well, okay, that was not quite what I expected.

“What would you say if I told you there was a place nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps …. where dreams are not just for children, and magic has not yet gone from the world? … A placed where men and women live together in harmony with the land and in tune with the cosmos …. It is a place washed by mysterious energies … [where] all walk the paths of a university dedicated to the quest for esoteric knowledge and the spiritual advancement of humankind…..”

“Yes,” I breathed. “I’d say yes, please.”

I then turned the page and was blown backwards off the treadmill.

The power that emanated from the two page photo spread lifted and blew my body back. I managed to hit the emergency stop button, landed on my knees on the back of the belt, and was unceremoniously deposited on the floor. Tears were running down my face, not from pain, but from recognition that something truly important was before me.

People ran to help me. Lifting me with concern and asking if I was hurt.

Still vibrating with this power, I felt their concern like hope for the future. Where people lived in harmony and cared deeply for one another’s wellbeing. I felt wrapped in power, love, and care. I was able to say a few words to reassure them I was good and thank them.

There was no self consciousness nor any need to explain that my Soul had just received an invitation of enormous magnitude.

That it was crystal clear and fully received even though I had no idea what that invitation actually was.

My knees hurt a bit and my back was tender from the jolting, but more than anything I wanted to enter the path laid before me.

So, I wiped my tears, blew my nose, and stepped back on that treadmill into the mystery before me.

By the time I was done reading that article (twice), I knew I was journeying to The Temples of Humankind in Damanhur, Italy.

I spent 8 days in Damanhur. I immersed myself in their philosophy, was activated by the Temples, walked the power circuits, created art, engaged with the mystical harmonious people who lived there, and slept one night in the Temples.

In Damanhur, I discovered those mysterious energies, ingenious beauty, incredible power, direct access to the cosmos, synchronistic magic, and pervading harmony. And it changed me.

Not the kind of inspiring upliftment that comes from a spiritual retreat or holiday in a foreign culture.

I experienced an alchemical transformation that I can now, many years later, track its synchronistic influence and my personal initiatory process.

I could speak for hours about Damanhur, yet after all my preparatory research and an immersive 8 days, I came home knowing very little. I just knew that I had begun (again) that “quest” for esoteric knowledge on the spiral path of spiritual evolution. I turned 50 that summer and entered a decade of deep exploration, excavation, and elevation.

I’m still unpacking all that was given to me those many years ago.

I’ve waited 15 years to return to Damanhur with a group of spiritual seekers who feel a powerful call of their Soul to awaken ancient knowledge, upgrade the LightBody, and directly engage the cosmic healing energy.

The time is now. The way opened for my in my recent visit to Damanhur.

Sitting within the Sacred Woods above the Temples, I received the request to gather a group of serious seekers who were ready to immerse themselves in the magic, power, beauty, harmony, and potential of Damanhur and the Temples of Humankind.

To supercharge their own evolution, activate little know energy structures within their field, communicate directly with the Temples and cosmos, and be seeded with a light so powerful it will take years to unpack the transformation. So that they may return home, plant themselves in their neck of the woods, and offer their unique Soul gifts to a world on fire.

Sounds like a big promise. I know. And a big purpose. I know. I’ve lived it. Twice now.

I’m inviting you to join me for an extraordinary journey within the cosmic mystery via the portals of Damanhur.

Given the nature of my vision when in Damanhur’s Sacred Woods above the Temples, I’ve been able to curate an immersive experience which is overflowing with direct access to all of the Temples, local power spots, special courses, and more.

This Mystical Journey of Awakening to Damanhur and the Temples of Humankind is immersive.

This means it includes so much more than you’d be able to experience if you visited Damanhur and took a tour. This is the clarion call to a few Souls who know this is the time, this is the place, this is the ancient/modern technology, and you are the one being called.

If you’re interested, I’ll first share Damanhur’s tagline. “Make the Impossible Possible.”

I know why they say this. If you join me, you’ll know why as well.

I’ll not say any more here as I’ve created a lovely journey page with all the details (and the energy) of our immersion within this magical, powerful, harmonious place. One caveat, if you want to join me and think you can’t for any reason, don’t stop there. Ask how it is possible for you. Live that question and you may be surprised about what occurs.

I’m running two Journeys to Damanhur in September, 2025.

First up is for you spiritual seekers ready to supercharge your life and Soul mission. Here’s that Journey page.  Second is a Journey with the Peruvian shamans for mesa carriers, shamanic practitioners, and Munay Ki Practitioners. Here’s that Journey page.

I’ll be adding more details and stories in the blogs to come. Stay attuned.

I’m available to have a ZOOM discovery call with you if you’re interested.

“It would be an unsound fancy and self-contradictory to expect that things which have never yet been done can be done except by means which have never been tried.” Francis Bacon.

Read that twice and then ask yourself:

Are you ready to join me in Damanhur and co-creatively dream something new?

Mystical Journey to Damanhur September 3 – 11, 2025

Visionary Dreaming with the Masterful Shamans of Peru in Damanhur September 11 – 19, 2025.

I began my Damanhur journey with a walk upon a treadmill. I wonder how you’ll begin yours? I look forward to sharing that discovery with you.

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

Amplifying prayers, healing, divination, and direct connect with Divinity. What makes a power place a power place? Pilgrimages, miraculous healing, and surprising epiphanies are common occurrences at the world’s sacred sites. These may be identified as Earth’s chakras or spirals, an intersection of ley lines, and a place where humans offer devotional, intentional exchange with the heavens and earth. Those who have explored myth, individual reports, and scientific measurements suggest there is an combination of influences from human intent (devotional interactions), the Earth field, celestial bodies, and the structures built at the sacred site.

Awaken Your Inner Healer with the Emotion Code

Stress is a natural experience in life. It’s often viewed as a doorway to disruption of wellbeing, peace of mind, and a clear navigational path in a challenging situation.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Working as a psychologist with thousands of people over the past 40 years, I’ve learned that the relationship with stress is complex. What seems supremely stressful to one person may be a walk in the park for another.

Some folks court stress as a way of life, while others seek to minimize its influence.

So much of how you relate to life’s stressors depends upon what you’ve experienced, what skills you’ve been taught, what strengths or vulnerabilities were modeled, what help was withheld from you, how you’ve sought to learn from challenge, what strategies you’ve developed, your natural temperament, and how resilient you are in the face of tumult. There’s more to it, but you get the gist.

Some folks view stress simply as that which elicits the fight or flight response. Sure, it may do that, but there is more to it than that. (Read my Self Soothe Strategy Playbook for more on that topic).

Living in the current state of the world is challenging everyone these days.

I’m sure you can easily tell me the top 3 stressors of your current reality.

Take a moment and make that list. What are the top three stressors of your life at this time? 1-2-3.

Being human requires a flexible array of skills so you can navigate life with sturdiness. As I witness what’s happening in the United States and tracking what is happening around the world, I see, feel, and hear the rising tension. Like an unseasonably high tide, it is threatening to drown some while leaving others afloat in an uncertain sea.

So now is an excellent time to master skills which will help you navigate whatever uncertainty you and those around you are experiencing. I know a lot of skills that are useful and want to simplify things, so let’s start with one focus.

I’m really interested in helping you rapidly lower tension in your body, mind, emotions, and energy field.

The less tension you store, the freer you are to think, act, relate, and navigate in harmony. No matter the storm.

I use a lot of Energy Psychology techniques and modalities in my healing practice and daily life. I’m extremely interested in ways to translate more complex clinical practice into easy to use, self treatment techniques. So you can “treat” the rising tension efficiently and effectively as soon as it is noticed in every day life.

Given that the world is changing and collective stress is increasing with no resolution in site, I believe you need to become even more skilled at managing tension than you are right now.

That’s saying something as I’m sure you have skills a plenty, yet these are indeed challenging times.

I also believe you have an intelligent, integrated body-mind-emotion-energy system which, when working effectively, can support self-healing. You’re already primed for self-healing.

The Emotion Code is an Energy Psychology modality created by Bradley Nelson, DC.

It’s well known by many and is intended to rapidly clear the energy that is interfering with the flow of your vital life force. Why is that so important? Your vital life force, and how it flows through your physical-mental-emotional system, is integral to your health and wellbeing at all levels.

I’m offering two opportunities to explore The Emotion Code and how you may apply this for your own self-treatment.

I’ll offer a brief overview of The Emotion Code and a group energy healing session during my Virtual Salon on ZOOM on Tuesday, April 29th, 7 – 9pm ET.

Whether you are new to or deeply familiar with The Emotion Code, you’ll enjoy the benefits immediately during the group session. I’ll be exploring basic information about stress, energy psychology, the interrelated mind-body-emotion-energy system, and influential factors in storing tension (eg, emotions, beliefs, energy habits, wounding). I’ll introduce The Emotion Code as a modality and demonstrate its use with a group healing session. You’ll determine how that works for you.

Next I’m offering Self-Healing with The Emotion Code as a two week mentoring group on ZOOM, May 6th and 13th, 7 – 9:30pm ET.

I’ll be covering a lot of ground in a simple and practical way so that you can use The Emotion Code for yourself, with family members, and your pets. Here’s the deal. It is a mentoring group, not a practitioner training. It requires you purchase The Emotion Code book or audio book from your favorite bookseller. Bradley Nelson wrote this book to teach you how to use The Emotion Code for yourself and your family. I’ll be reviewing some basic aspects of the book and the process so that you understand the theory and rationale behind The Emotion Code (and Energy Psychology). You’ll get some practice with muscle testing, identify how to run a self-treatment session, and get some practice.

You’ll have a week to explore this for yourself and come back with more practice and an opportunity to clarify your questions.

After the two weeks (or three if you join the Virtual Salon), you can dive more deeply into the book and practice sessions with yourself. Once confident, you’ll share this with family members who are interested. I’m adding in a bit about treating pets and you’ll know why when we meet. Remember, this isn’t a practitioner training so you aren’t offering this professionally to any one. If you want to add this to your practice or start a healing practice using The Emotion Code, let me know and I’ll guide you to the training.

I’m committed to sharing Energy Psychology methods for self-treatment that build upon a basic foundational knowledge of why they matter, how they work, and when you can apply them for yourself.

If you’re feeling stress and want to learn how to lower tension (past and present), join me to explore how The Emotion Code may support you.

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

The Greater Good Science Center at Cal Berkley has been exploring how to bridge differences since 2018. They ask some valuable questions. “Does “bridging differences” mean that we paper over social injustice in pursuit of social harmony? Does it require us to sacrifice our ideals in order to always find common ground with others? Or to accommodate views or behavior that we find abhorrent?” They have discovered a lot in all these years. Go explore.
