Esperide Ananas spoke as an Ambassador of Damanhur at the Ministry of Ideals in Reykjavík, Iceland. The encounter was the crowning event of a public deliberation meeting that involved 1,500 citizens of Iceland, guided by 30 experts from various sectors. The meeting discussed how to define the will of the Icelandic people and construct a new society. The Icelanders identified their common values, which include creating a sustainable society, having access to organic foods, and establishing strong principles based on honesty.

Esperide shared the experience of Damanhur, speaking about many themes such as health and education, law and justice, art and social life. She discussed the economics of the Federation at length, explaining the Credit-Damanhur's complementary currency system-the concept of time as a collective wealth, and sharing responsibilities as well as dreams. The video of Damanhur was met with great applause, and Esperide answered many questions from the enthused audience about the social life and organization of Damanhur.

* Damanhur: the adventure of a group that transformed a dream into a realty ... making a community that lives in a different way

* The Temples of Humankind: an extraordinary work of art, 72 meters underground!

* Astral Travel

* Damanhurian therapies

The theme of the Congress was, “Earth Evolution through Spiritual Revolution,” to inspire spiritual transformation and share visions of a better world. The guest of honor was Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The night after his keynote speech, Esperide and Crotalo went to visit his ashram and invited him to come to Damanhur. They felt a strong connection with Shankar and the Art of Living organization that he has founded, which shares similar goals as Damanhur. The Art of Living is engaged in various initiatives to promote a philosophy of inner and outer peace.

Esperide Ananas attended the State of the World Forum in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, representing Damanhur in this working conference to launch the Global 2020 Climate Leadership Campaign, which promotes a series of actions for a sustainable climate, reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent by the year 2020. At this event, there were 80 international experts participating, who were subdivided into work groups. One of the first points of action was preparing for the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference.
