A bit of mystical Italy comes to Miami - outsiders, it’s still worth reading!
Mid week, I am delivering an un-bookly post to inform you of an intriguing event happening in Miami. If you’re not a South Florida dweller, I invite you still to click on the links so that you might travel to a mystical place in Italy called, “Damanhur“. They do publish books in Italian, so those out there that speak the language - you can indulge. I hope to add some spiffy graphics to this post as they day goes on so you may want to check back. I’m attending the “Concert of the Plants” event and will be sure to report on the musicality of our shrubs, houseplants and forests. Now, I find that worth the price of admission! Enjoy!
Tomorrow (11/14), from 7pm to 10pm, Miami’s top artists, educators, environmentalists, community leaders and media will gather to welcome special representatives of The Federation of Damanhur. The world’s largest intentional eco-community, Damanhur featured in February 2008 on ABC’s Good Morning America has chosen Miami Beach as the community’s main North American hub for their educational programs and events.
The first event, Damanhur Reception and Music of the Plants, will be held at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. The program will include a magical concert of the plants utilizing one of Damanhur’s revolutionary technologies that converts the energy of the plants and translates it into music, a short video of Damanhur and open conversation with the Damanhurian Ambassadors, Crotalo Sesamo and Shama Viola.
“We are thrilled to be opening up a center in Miami,” said Crotalo Sesamo. “As part of our first program we’ll be creating a spiral stone labyrinth which will become a permanent interactive art installation at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, our gift to the community.”
Damanhur has city centers all over the world in countries such as Italy, France, Austria, Japan, Germany and Croatia. Founded in 1975 and located in northwestern Italy, the federation of Damanhur (”the city of light”) has been described as one of the largest and most successful advanced technological intentional eco-villages in the world. Damanhur is a Federation of Communities with a continuously evolving social and political structure. They are also renowned for building the largest underground temple in the world. The Temples of Humankind at Damanhur are an extraordinary work of art that has been described as an “Eight Wonder of the World”.
A United Nations award- winning sustainable community, Damanhur is an eco-society based upon ethical and spiritual values, esoteric traditions and modern research. The world which they speak about is surrounded and motivated by the beauty of art, guided daily by spiritual purpose, and a commitment to manifesting the Damanhur dream; the successes of their ideals manifested as a living reality ignite hope for the future of humanity and for the realization of a diverse and unified peaceable planet.
