Brandon Bays is known worldwide for her powerfully transformative seminars and her first book, The Journey. Her new book, Freedom Is, is one of the most compelling, life-changing books of our time.

Enlightenment, our boundless potential, is available to everyone, with no formulas to work out, no rituals or mantras to repeat, nothing to complete in order to receive a heavenly reward. This book doesn1t just talk about freedom - it gives us a direct experience of it. Brandon Bays pioneered her transformative work through her own experience of healing naturally from a large tumor. She shares her teachings in seminars and speaking engagements all over the world and lives in the United Kingdom.

Damanhur Temples of Humankind
Damanhur: Temples of Humankind, a new art book by CoSM Press, finally reveals the five-story underground maze of sacred halls built inside a mountain, and kept secret for more than twenty years from even it's closest neighbors. Begun in 1977 in the Italian Alps, the Temples of Damanhur were inspired by the vision of spiritual leader Oberto Airaudi, a.k.a. Falco. Artists and artisans excavated and built this subterranean sacred space, which is at last showcased in exquisite color photographs throughout this book. Enter the Secret Doors and see the superbly painted murals of the Blue Temple, the soaring sculptural columns and meticulous mosaic floors in the Hall of the Earth, the giant stained glass domes and walls of occult symbology in the Hall of Water. Study the altars to all religions in the Labyrinth and step into infinite beauty in the Hall of Mirrors, all revealed in this guided photographic tour.
CoSM Press is proud to present the book, Damanhur: Temples of Humankind, representing the astonishing art and architecture created by devoted members of this Italian utopian community. Purchase this unique gift book and support the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors new venture.
