Many different Damanhurians have been traveling the world in May and June. Fenice Felce and Dugongo Canfora were in Japan at the Damanhur centers in Kobe and Yokkaichi. Japan is still stressed by the recent earthquake, and even more so by fear around conditions at the Fukushima nuclear center. Fortunately, there is no danger of radiation in the area where the Damanhur centers are located.
Shama Viola, Crotalo Sesamo, Esperide Ananas and Quaglia were traveling in the same time period to many places in the USA and North America, holding different presentations, courses and healing sessions.
Shama was in California, at Debbie's ranch in Malibu - Debbie is a student in the Olami Damanhur Mystery School - holding a third level Past Lives research course, at in Tiburon in the San Francisco Bay Area, she held a first level Past Lives course.
I have returned from the meeting of the Italian Ecovillage Network (Rive) with a great sense of appreciation for the things we are doing at Damanhur and the diversity of the ecovillages in Italy.
Macaco and I went to Torri Superiore in the Ligura region from January 29 - 30, 2011. Driving down along the Ventimiglia coast, I sensed the energy of the water and the sea, soft and welcoming, and the landscape green and vibrant - a few palms here and there, and in the valley, mimosa flowers already in bloom. Torri Superiore is a small medieval village with lots of Germans, children (9 kids and 12 adults) and two donkeys, which offers hospitality and courses on permaculture and communication.
I quickly got to know lots of people and the characteristics of the Italian ecovillages: the simplicity and freedom of the Elfi (Elves), the political-practical vision of Bagnaia, the maternal family-oriented environment of Torri.
The outreach team of Damanhur's Ambassadors has traveled extensively in past months, with Crotalo Sesamo offering courses in Sedona, Arizona USA as well as Russia.

Also a first level Past Lives course shall be held in Cancun, with 14 participants already registered.
