The capital of damanhur - Damjl
Damjl is the first territory, and capital, of Damanhur Federation of Communities. Damjl is the cultural center of Damanhur where you can enjoy various experiences such as damanhurian art workshops, handicrafts, markets, and get a glimpse of the everyday life of people working to create a new, sustainable model of society.
Today, humanity faces an enormous challenge: How to equitably and peacefully share finite resources and create a meaningful, satisfying society that integrates the diversity of every living being, where each person can explore their individual talents and grow together with others. For this reason, the world is in need of new, conscious societies that experience with new ways of living.
In Damanhur, this is a journey that started 50 years ago, when a small group of people decided to buy a piece of land in the Valley of Valchiusella, Piemonte. They called the land "Damjl", and this has now become the historical center and capital of the Federation of Damanhur, hosting thousands of guests each year from all over the world. The vision of Damjl is to be a center where seekers of these new society models can meet and exchange ideas, dreams, handmade products, art and feel the atmosphere of a new society.
