Living together is an art and a lost archetype, according to the teachings of Damanhur founder Falco Tarassaco. He believed that the loss of community has disempowered individuals and slowed down our collective evolution; but we still carry the “mold” of this archetype and we can recover it.

In the Community School, participants are taken through a three-year training program that covers all aspects of community building based on the multi-faceted experiences of Damanhurians and other affiliated communities. In this two-day introductory course—which is the first two days of the Community School—you will be taken through the basics of creating community: establishing ethical principles, defining roles and responsibilities, growth through play and choosing complementary economies.
