Temples of humankind, a great work of art
A great work of Art, carved by hand into the rock in the heart of a mountain in northern Italy.
The complex of the underground Temples of Humankind stretches for over 4,000 cubic meters, on five different levels, connected by hundreds of meters of corridors.
The Hall of Water, of the Earth, of the Spheres, of Mirrors, of Metals, the Blue Temple, the Labyrinth: The Temples of Humankind are an underground work of art, a three-dimensional book built entirely by hand and dedicated to the divine nature of humanity and the narration of humankind’s history through all forms of art.
Their images and symbols aim at awakening the sense of the sacred inherent in every human being.
Or ‘the First Wonder of the New World’
a three-dimensional library of knowledge
The Temples are a sacred container of devotion and pure ideals, dedicated to the Awakening of the divine within every human being.
The Temples are a powerful antenna, consciously built on a meeting point of Synchronic Lines, the cosmic rivers of energy that connect all Life.
The Temples consists of 8 halls, each hall has it’s own frequency and meaning. We will be working with 5 halls during this retreat with each day a new hall, with meditations and dynamics.
The Temples of humankind is a three-dimensional library of knowledge where – through experiences that speak to your mind and heart – you will be able to contact energies inside and outside of yourself.
and open air temple
The Temples of Humankind are a part of a living system of sacred spaces. They connect to the energies of the Earth and the cosmos also through the trees of the hill inside of which they have been built.
With love and dedication, through many years of work they have brought the once exploited and almost dead woods of this area back to life, healing the trees, so that the butterflies, the birds and the wildlife could come back.
Only the respect and the integration of all life can turn a land into a truly sacred territory, in which the energetic and spiritual ecosystem creates a special “bubble” of peace.
The Sacred Woods of Damanhur are a laboratory where human beings can evolve and honor the sacredness of Trees, to connect with their collective consciousness, and through them, recreate a balanced relationship also with all the subtle forces of Nature.
In this context it is easy to get in touch with our deepest senses, those of the soul, to find answers outside the usual schemes to let new sensations, intuitions and talents emerge and be translated into poetry, beauty, music…
‘Wings of Falco’
Nestled within the picturesque Piedmontese village of Cuceglio, “Le Ali del Falco“ is a healing and inspiring environment perfect for our retreat and just 15 minutes by car of central Damanhur.
Here you will find a vibrant atmosphere that invites you to stay and relax as well as work with our SoulCollage® cards.
The jewel of bioarchitecture is set amidst fruit trees, a spiral you can walk for meditation purposes, a shady wine pergola, a fireplace and much more waiting for your discovery!
The extensive garden is a space of contemplation and creativity, offering you the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature.
Ali di Falco cares for our environment and attach great importance to a conscious use of their resources – enjoy the organic vegetarian food and have a rejuvenating sleep in the handmade wooden beds with natural bedding and sheets.
There are single and double rooms with or without own bathroom.
The day after your arrival you have a full day of guided tour in central Damanhur and the Temples. During the rest of the retreat we will have magical experiences in the Temples which we will integrate with SoulCollage®. We will make cards and use them to deepen our inner world to transform and connect with the divine in ourselves.

Retreat participant
That week was one of the most pivotal weeks of my life.
That trip was and continues to be pivotal for me and my growth. I LOVED that group- the whole experience and the women and everything was so special- even for a wonderful SC retreat- that went way above and beyond for me.
I’ve been in and facilitated lots of groups of various types- been to retreats, been doing this kind of thing in some ways since I was 12- but for me I have NO doubt that this was a once in a lifetime experience with you all.
I cannot even tell you how much respect and gratitude for you and the way you hold all of these things with a group. Being with you was so healing- you are magic and special and so wise and skilled.
