For the first time, a Damanhur course was given in the city of San Diego, California. Shama led a Past Lives Research course with a group of 17 people, who participated in the process with enthusiasm and openness.

The participants had come to visit Damanhur two months earlier, and they invited Shama to come and teach the course in the US. The Past Lives Research was both profound and fun for those involved, and they have asked Shama to return to San Diego to lead the second level course in a few months. Shama also read Bral Talej cards, with much appreciation from the group.

Shama went to Massachusetts and offered a Past Lives Research course there at the beginning of October.
