Crótalo Sésamo (Alessandro Zattoni) is a spiritual researcher, healer, and teacher with over 28 years of experience within the Federation of Damanhur, an internationally recognized eco-spiritual community and UNESCO-acknowledged model for a sustainable future. He has played a central role in the creation, leadership, and global expansion of Damanhur and its teachings.
A longtime resident of Damanhur, Crótalo was directly involved in the construction of the Temples of Humankind—an extraordinary underground sanctuary dedicated to the reawakening of human consciousness. He has served in numerous leadership positions, including Director of the Damanhur Center in Turin, founder and CEO of the Damanhur Welcome Center and Olami University, and coordinator of Damanhur’s global ambassadors.
As a Damanhur Ambassador since 2001, he has traveled worldwide teaching, opening international centers, and founding Mystery Schools across Europe, the Americas, Australia, and beyond. His areas of expertise include spiritual healing, ancient civilizations, astral travel, past-life research, inner harmonizing, Selfic Healing, and expanded perception, as well as the social and organizational dynamics of intentional community living.
Trained directly by Falco (Oberto Airaudi), the visionary founder of Damanhur, Crótalo continues this lineage through the creation of Selfic Paintings and the transmission of advanced alchemical and consciousness-based teachings. In 2016, he represented the Federation of Damanhur as a speaker at the United Nations on the International Day of Happiness.
Crótalo currently teaches the first Damanhur Mystery School in Boulder, Colorado, offering immersive courses in inner research, multidimensional perception, and conscious relationship with the natural and plant worlds.
