Imagine a serene sanctuary nestled within the enchanting alleys of Venice, where the whispers of timeless wisdom and rare knowledge beckon. Our visionary aims to create an oasis for book aficionados – a haven that transcends conventional libraries.
This exceptional venture will curate a collection that delves into the enigmatic realms of life after death, alongside an array of books rarely found in mainstream libraries. From esoteric philosophies to thought-provoking narratives, our library will be a treasure trove for those seeking the extraordinary. Experience the tranquility of a space meticulously designed for relaxation and exploration. It will be a sanctuary for seekers, a place where the mind wanders and discovers amidst an ambiance of comfort and ease.
Join in realizing this remarkable dream – become a part of a venture that goes beyond the ordinary. Your investment won’t just support the establishment of a library; it will cultivate a space where curiosity thrives, knowledge flourishes, and the soul finds solace. This will be an inspiring project and create an unparalleled haven for bibliophiles in the heart of Venice.
Ray Jay, a passionate researcher driven by two core passions—mysticism and social consciousness. Starting her journey in Art and Art History, she ventured into self-education, delving into spiritual growth at places like the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Human Beings.
Ray Joy’s global experiences took her to the Far East, immersing herself in languages, volunteering at the Mother Teresa Mission in Calcutta, and co-founding Feminenza in Brazil. She also took part in an organisation called Indios and the animal rights movement Ánimal Viva. Her strong interest in understanding women’s roles in various religions led her to explore anthropology and delve into gender identities within religious contexts. At the moment, Joy Ray practices success coaching in Austria and world wide.
In her current project Joy Ray wants to establish a series of private libraries: in the heart of Italy – Venice, and on the French Riviera.
