Hi sorry to bump an old thread, but anyway Damanhur is a mind control cult. There are many testimonies against damanhur on Italian websites.
I found this blog about it from former victims of the cult, that was created recently check it out
Chapter 4: The secret of the Viaggio « Damanhur inside out Cult Education Forum :: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements" :: evidence against damanhur /puts tinfoil hat on
In addition in the conspiracy theory circles they are claiming Damanhurs founder Oberto Airaudi is an illuminati. He is supposedly connected to groups such as Theosophical society which many claim is run by darkworkers.

I hope that is helpful to anyone interested in this group, so they don't get ripped off.
