Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo
Where Wonder Lives: Life Between Knowing & Mystery
Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo are the visionary co-founders of Science and Nonduality (SAND), a global community at the convergence of science, spirituality, and healing. They seek to dissolve boundaries between disciplines and traditions, fostering dialogues both intellectually rigorous and deeply human. Through conferences, films, courses, and intimate conversations, SAND has become a sanctuary for inquiry—where ancient wisdom meets contemporary questions. Zaya's and Maurizio's first collaboration was a film tribute to Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the teacher who had altered Maurizio’s course. From that seed grew not just a film, but a movement. They have since produced a series of award-winning documentaries, including the highly acclaimed The Wisdom of Trauma (with Gabor Mate), and others. In June, they will release The Eternal Song, celebrating the sacred land connection and timeless wisdom of distinct indigenous peoples.
