The birth of a new Popolo of spiritual researchers
In an era when not only animal and plant species are disappearing, but also entire popoli (peoples) are dying out-and with them an enormous cultural, linguistic and social heritage-Damanhur has chosen to create a Popolo with its own philosophical, artistic, social and cultural expression.
Our intention is to create a worldwide intentional popolo that promotes basic human values and fundamental ethical principles. Despite the trend of destruction of many kinds of life on the planet, we believe that it is possible to save life on earth, through a deep union of humanity and respect for the ancestral bonds with our earth.
Membership in the Popolo Spirituale is open to all spiritual seekers who want to serve as points of light on the planet. Many people who take part in the Popolo do not live at Damanhur but they identify with our intentions and goals.
Being a part of the Popolo means appreciating and valuing the diversity expressed in different cultures, art and spiritual faith. It means creating models of life based on respect, solidarity and love, and moving toward a common goal: the reawakening of humanity and deep union with all the forms of life that exist around us.
Becoming a member of the Popolo involves a simple ceremony that takes place at Damanhur. From that day forward, all it takes on your part is one minute every day to maintain your connection to the Popolo. Every new moon there is a celebration called "Damanhur Get" that is reserved to members of the Popolo. Being part of the Popolo Spirituale offers a connection to like-minded people all over the world, and a way to stay connected to the synchronic energies of Damanhur and the Temples of Humankind. At any time, you can decide to cease the connection by discontinuing this practice. It's that simple, and that powerful.
