Spirituality, today more than ever, implies a responsibility to participate in and produce concrete changes, both inside oneself and within the social, political and economic context of the world. Spirituality means having the courage to experiment with new formulas and to denounce the injustices of a system when it does not respect liberty and the right to a life that is equitable, sustainable, and respectful of diversity.
Today in Italy, continuous and terrifying news episodes demonstrate the profound lack of values and objectives in a country adrift.
Damanhur shares the preoccupation of many for the attacks to the Constitution motivated by economic interests, and in part by the influence of the Vatican in public and private life, which weakens democracy and takes the possibility of action away from the citizens.
Fortunately, many voices are rising in defense of one’s rights, from individuals and associations in all of civic society, from the most secular to those of a religious and spiritual nature.
Damanhur is involved in this struggle, first person. One of the initiatives that we sustain is the Call to Liberty and Justice, and we invite you to subscribe to it:

“To grow spiritually also means taking on responsibility for the environment around oneself, for the wellbeing of others, for the growth of society.”
The Damanhur Civil Defence Association was established with the intention of sharing the experience developed by the citizens of Damanhur in the field of voluntary work.
The love for nature and respect for every form of life that characterises Damanhurian thought has driven young pioneers to found the Damanhur Forest Fire Fighters team.
The Federation of Damanhur is also involved in voluntary work for the Italian Red Cross.
