Damanhur: The Temples of Humankind and a Global Spiritual Eco-Village Experiment
To the point
Damanhur is a federation of spiritual eco‑villages in the Italian Vidracco valley, founded in the 1970s by Falco Tarassaco (Oberto Airaudi), where residents adopt animal, plant, and mineral aliases, live in project‑based micro‑families, built the vast Temples of Humankind underground, and claim to contact aliens with Selfica technology and nature sensors, a path some call practical spirituality while others label a cult, with international expansion including an Osaka sub‑community and a paused local currency.
