A Quest for Community
Tuesday, October 07, 2003
We finally arrived at the large
white Damanhurian nucleo "Ognidove" that guards the entrance to the
Temple. The nucleo members had prepared a delicious 5-course dinner of
pasta, fish, fresh vegetables just picked from their own gardens, and
fine red and white Aval wine brewed at Damanhur's vineyards. The meal
was hosted by two friendly Damanhurian Initiates, Orango and Vultura,
who would be our guides for our night in the Temple. Orango is a
talented Italian healer who years before had given up a promising
career in Information Technology to set up "Pranatherapy"
(Damanhur's version of 'laying on of hands' healing) centers throughout
Italy. Vultura is a German Registered Nurse who speaks Italian and
English fluently and had been asked to translate for the 6 or so
English-speakers in our group.
