    It is Elizabeth’s joy to share the sacredness of life as a side kick for Spirit to work through her. She enjoys assisting us to understand and help balance the intellect and the Soul; the physical, temporal material realm with the invisible eternal realm and beyond. It appears that currently the intellect in our world model has a superiority complex over the Soul. It appears the material has a superiority complex over the invisible.

    We are in the process now, as a planet, of transforming these notions and are all on a journey of spiritualizing matter. When we discover more about who we really are, in our most eternal sense, we can bring in the awareness that will serve to rebuild our world with transforming possibilities.

  • Eduardo Cardona
    Eduardo Cardona DIRECTOR

    Eduardo Cardona was born in Colombia where he earned an Engineering degree. He later migrate to the United States to enroll in graduate school and settled in Colorado.

    By the time he was in middle school Eduardo became interested in pyramids and experimented for years with cardboard models. The results of the experiments were more like magic, odd and strange for people around; for him it was just fascinating, magic.

    As his academic education continued, he lost interest on what is not considered conventional by science, although, it was always open mind to the possibilities of all. After many years in Colorado, and learned about Damanhur, that childhood curiosity reawakened. Eduardo now finds in the Damanhur community and teachings a source of constant inspiration to rediscover his true mission.
