Is it is possible to enter into the heart of community life for a period of time to understand more about Damanhur and also explore the spiritual side? The answer is yes! This possibility is called the New Life program, or temporary citizenship, and it offers an experience for anyone who would like to have a three-month immersion in Damanhurian life. It doesn't matter if you have known Damanhur for years or if this is the first time you are hearing about us. All are welcome! 
During the three months of New Life citizenship, you will live in the communities and share in the daily activities, celebrations, and opportunities for meeting and exchange. You will also have access to a program that tells the story of Damanhur's history and its principles, the Path to Spiritual Freedom, experiences in the Sacred Woods Temple, meditation in the Temples of Humankind and many other activities. 
During the period of temporary citizenship, there is a request for not smoking, as it is for every Damanhur citizen. So, it's an excellent opportunity to begin quitting altogether, if you do smoke.
 At the end of the three-month period, participants in the New Life program may continue their journey toward new horizons or deepen their adventure in Damanhur.
 Participants in the New Life program come from all over the world, adding international flavor and cultural diversity to this experience. For everyone, among the many offerings of the New Life program, there are also Italian lessons.

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.
