Speaking at SAND18 Italy, Vera De Chalambert introduces some of the Goddesses of the Eastern traditions to illustrate the meaning of the dark feminine and its relevance to today’s conditions and events. It is an energy within us that we are called upon to express, she says. We must keep listening to each other’s suffering, for it is a condition of truth to let suffering speak.

SAND is a wonderful place for you to offer their thoughts and ideas to others and to get feedback to help you further hone and articulate what you are trying to bring forward into the world. It is a place where ideas can be exchanged and a place where the cross pollination between science and spirit offers new perspectives to those working in both areas. It is also a place of learning and growing - a place where you can think about things you never thought about before. – Isa
As a first-time speaker and participant at SAND, I had no idea of the extent that its wonder-full experience would enfold me in its magic of profound insights, mind- and heart-expanding encounters and synchronous aha moments of pure joy. Being invited to share my perspectives of the wholeworld-view of the cosmic hologram, in my speaking of the need and opportunity for us to understand, experience and embody unity awareness, I was immersed in our collective quest and co-creative participation as a spiralling dance of all three. My whole-hearted gratitude to Maurizio, Zaya and their amazing team at SAND for all they are and do! – Dr Jude Currivan
It feels like the "soul" of SAND is descending into the "body" of the world. It was an immense privilege to facilitate. And, I'm more and more in love with the community all the time. I look forward to more. – Samantha
From the beginning — with Maurizio and Zaya’s heart-opening presence on stage (and off!) both individually and in relationship, the scene was set for a great pool of love to emerge — which I have felt rippling out into an ocean encompassing the planet and beyond. – Vivienne
I was impressed with the well organized flow of such a large conference. It was a friendly congenial group of attendees and the venue was gorgeous! Please offer my thanks and appreciation to the team for hosting a spectacular event! My neurons were smoking by the end of 5 days! – Jane
SAND is a gathering like no other where leaders in science, spirituality and healing can come together, learn from and support each other. Presenters and participants alike connect with open hearts and expanded minds. I always feel inspired and energized at SAND! – Sonya Amrita Bibilos
The SAND Conference was a mind blowing experience. I am still talking about it months later. – conference attendee SAND12
Thank you again for such a beautiful, awesome experience - such a beautiful communion of Being(s)! – conference attendee SAND12
I had never heard of SAND nor Nonduality before and I was pleasantly surprised and amazed. I'm totally hooked now :-). I love the love and energy that is flowing so abundantly! – conference attendee SAND12
I found the SAND experience wonderful, powerful, immensely positive, intense, and at times overwhelming. What struck me about SAND13 was an overwhelming sense of awe at the beauty of other humans: the organizers, the presenters, the performers, and the attendees. Never before have I been in the presence of so many people who are functioning at the very peak of the human experience. – conference attendee SAND13
In trying to describe the entire SAND experience to a friend, she responded: "It sounds as if you have swallowed a sunbeam and now have to digest it." How true! I'm still digesting. – conference attendee SAND13
The entire conference was absolutely wonderful, and the variety of speakers phenomenal. – conference attendee SAND13
I very much liked the heart connectivity of the cutting edge speakers, conference participants, and staff. It was a meeting of minds and new and older ideas were explored in new ways. – conference attendee SAND13
Outstanding! Marvelous! Fun! Stimulating! It does feel like a family! Merci! – conference attendee SAND13
Wow, volunteering at SAND was one of THE coolest experiences I've ever had. Got to play with so many amazing people, teachers and authors who've made a huge impact on my journey. And for once, I got to be surrounded by hundreds of others also walking this pathless path. After years of exploring non-duality on my own, it was really awesome to realize I'm not the only crazy one :) – conference volunteer SAND14
SAND14 was extraordinary! I was not kidding when I said best ever… It gets more wonderful every year, it's like the Richter scale of awareness… Expanding by factors of 10! My development is inextricably entangled with SAND! Thank you... – conference attendee SAND14
SAND blew me away. This was my first time, and the passion of everyone was very inspiring. I absolutely loved the diversity of experience at the conference. By far the best conference I have ever attended! – conference attendee SAND14
