Blown Away by the Temples of Humankind

April 21, 2025

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.

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.
