Coming together for
festivals, celebrations and rituals
Damanhur in 2012
Here we are, more than halfway into 2012, the long-awaited year representing revolution of the spirit and deep earth changes. I am grateful to be rooted here in the spiritual and community matrix of Damanhur as the planet shifts and comes into a new equilibrium.
Up next: the Popolo Spirituale Festival (August 27 – September 2), which includes the Damanhur New Year’s Eve celebration (August 31). Then we glide through the turning points of the seasons with the Great Rituals (with preparatory meditation in the Temples of Humankind the day before the ritual): Autumn Equinox (September 22 – 23), the Commemoration of the Dead (October 27 – 28), and Winter Solstice (December 22 – 23). We seal the calendar year 2012 with celebration and togetherness during Midnight Action in the Temples of Humankind (Decemeber 31) on New Year’s Eve. The Temples are also open for Contact with the Cosmos (September 22 – 23 and December 22 – 23), where you spend the night gaining insight into your pathway using the powerful catalyzing energies of the Temples.
 The events and celebrations that we hold here are more than just fun times for reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, even though we certainly share in creative joy together at every occasion. Our big celebrations are openings of spiritual light, where Damanhur becomes a stage for interweaving the perfect mixture of sychronicity, encounters and events. You are welcome to join us in this magical experiment!
