From Milan to Mountain Gorillas: A Sacred Path Unfolds
The Journey
Departure from Milan
The journey will begin with an international flight from Milan to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. A long flight, but one that prepares you for the excitement of a unique destination.
Arrival in Kigali, Rwanda
Once we arrive in Kigali, we will embark on a fascinating off-road journey through the mountains towards Uganda, accompanied by our local guide Jackson. The journey will take approximately six hours, during which we'll have the opportunity to observe breathtaking landscapes and immerse ourselves in the stories of local traditions.
Immersive forest trekking
Upon arriving at the forest, we'll be ready for one of the most exciting experiences of our lives: jungle trekking to meet the mountain gorillas. Accompanied by expert guides and local rangers, we'll venture into the dense vegetation, where wild nature will surround us.
Sacred encounters with mountain gorillas
Finally, the long-awaited moment: we will encounter the gorillas in their natural habitat – a profound experience that will bring us face to face with one of Earth's most fascinating and endangered species. This sacred meeting prepares us to transmit the awakening message entrusted to us by Falco.
Mystical Missions: Weaving Damanhur's Magic in Africa
A Journey Beyond Nature into Spiritual Evolution
Deep connection with Bridge Species
Meeting the gorillas is just the beginning. The journey is also an opportunity to experience a deep connection with this Bridge Species. Our mission is to transmit an alchemical message that will guide ‘them and us’ on a path of awakening. Every step taken in this direction is an opportunity to understand the invisible bonds between all Living Beings.
Alchemical collections of natural elements
During our stay, we will have the opportunity to participate in alchemical collection experiences – an activity that unites spirituality and nature. At various stages of our journey, we will gather natural elements (e.g. air, water, time…) an experience that uses knowledge of alchemy to obtain pure elements to bring back to Damanhur.
Ancient Wisdom Keepers: Cultural Heritage & Sacred Knowledge
We will also discover the culture of the populations living at the forest’s edge, such as the Batwa, who have coexisted with nature and gorillas for generations. We will be welcomed into their communities. Additionally, if there’s a chance to meet with shamans or elders, we may establish connections with them and, if they wish, gather a vibrational copy of the essence of their wisdom in order to preserve it for future generations inside the Temples of Humankind.
Beyond Tourism: The Path of Conscious Travel
The journey is not just a physical movement, but also an inner transformation. Through group experiences, meditations, and reflections, we will work together to become conscious travelers, capable of experiencing each step with greater presence, listening, and respect for the Earth and its creatures. We will learn in practice what it means to travel in service of Damanhur’s Missions.
Beyond Adventure
An Alchemical Odyssey of Awakening
This journey is not simply an adventure in an unknown land,
but an alchemical path, an opportunity to reconnect
with ourselves and our origins.
Each experience will be a piece that contributes to a broader vision
of our role in the world, our connection with the Planet,
and the responsibility we hold in this Space, in this Time.
We have crafted two distinct transformative experiences:
a 7-day essence journey or a 9-day extended exploration.
Each journey offers its own unique program, carefully designed
to accommodate different schedules and spiritual aspirations,
ensuring every seeker can participate according to their personal circumstances.
