  • Scientologists Bring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Life Across Europe

    Scientologists across Europe promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through Youth for Human Rights programs, combining education, cultural events, and international summits from Copenhagen to the UN in Geneva and New York. Rooted in L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings, they see human rights advocacy not only as civic service but as a spiritual duty, essential to social survival and personal progress toward the divine.

    Members of the Church of Scientology are active across Europe in promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), inspired by the vision of their religious community’s Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Through the non-profit Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) and United for Human Rights, Scientologists volunteer their time and resources to bring knowledge of the 30 rights enshrined in the UDHR to schools, communities and youth events. With booklets, audiovisuals and lesson plans translated into many languages, the program makes these fundamental rights accessible to young people of every background.

    This work traces back to Mr. Hubbard’s insistence that human rights education is essential for the survival of societies. In 1969, he reprinted the UDHR in a Church magazine, highlighting that governments’ very survival depends utterly upon adopting such reforms. For Scientologists, those words remain a guiding principle. They see education on rights not merely as a public service but as an essential part of building understanding between people and ensuring dignity for every human being. In this sense, their commitment is a direct continuation of the Founder’s ideal of turning rights from a lofty declaration into a living fact.

    A place in Europe whose activation on this field can’t be overlooked is Denmark. Since 2006, the religious community and diverse activists, through Youth for Human Rights Denmark, have organized innovative projects that combine education with cultural expression. Students learn through screenings of The Story of Human Rights film, creative workshops and discussions in classrooms, and the now-traditional Walk for Human Rights every December 10, where hundreds gather in Copenhagen to celebrate and demand respect for the UDHR. The program has earned recognition from both the City of Copenhagen and the national Ministry of Culture, which provided support for its activities. This official acknowledgment illustrates how initiatives born from Scientologists’ religious inspiration also contribute to civic life in concrete, measurable ways.

    And Denmark is just one example. Across Europe, Scientologists and their churches have helped bring Youth for Human Rights programs to a wide variety of settings. In Brussels, the Church of Scientology for Europe co-hosted the International Youth Summit, gathering young delegates from dozens of nations to exchange strategies for spreading awareness of the UDHR. In Geneva, volunteers support annual UDHR Anniversary celebration at UN premises, giving voice to dozens of NGOs from accross Europe that contribute to make human rights closer to a fact, and often with the use of Youth for Human Rights International materials. Then there is the annual Summits at the United Nations, where youth delegates present projects to diplomats, NGOs and human rights experts. at the UN Headquarters in New York, providing a global platform for the voices of young people committed to making rights a reality. In Madrid and other capitals, Scientologists join with schools, civic leaders and interfaith groups to mark milestones such as Human Rights Day and anniversaries of the UDHR. Together, these initiatives form a network of education and advocacy that stretches from local classrooms to the world stage.

    What unites these efforts is more than civic engagement. For Scientologists, championing human rights is also a spiritual expression, deeply rooted in their faith. The Creed of the Church of Scientology explicitly affirms human rights, underscoring their central place in religious practice. Scientology teaches that life is best understood as a progression through eight dynamics—spheres or urges of survival that extend from the self and the family, through groups, humankind and the natural universe, and ultimately toward spirituality and the infinite, which is how Scientologists commonly describe the concept of God.

    Caring for others and safeguarding their rights lies at the heart of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Dynamics, where the individual recognizes survival as part of humanity, nature and spiritual awareness. Scientologists believe that only by strengthening and improving survival across these dynamics—by upholding the dignity of others—can one gradually advance toward the Eighth Dynamic, identified with the Supreme Being, God or infinity.

    In this light, their human rights work is not an isolated project but an integral step in a broader spiritual journey.

    As a Church spokesperson Ivan Arjona summarized: “Youth for Human Rights’ mission is to make human rights a fact, not just an idealistic dream. For Scientologists, every effort to teach and protect human rights builds understanding of our place within the broader fabric of life—and step by step, this is what brings us closer to the highest truths of existence.”

    From Copenhagen sidewalks to Brussels conference halls, from annual youth summits at the United Nations in Geneva and New York to classroom and civil society projects in Madrid, Amsterdam and beyond, Scientologists continue to honor Mr Hubbard’s vision: that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should be known, lived and safeguarded. Their efforts show that when people are educated on their rights, societies grow stronger, individuals find common ground, and the path toward greater spiritual awareness remains open to all.

  • Beyond the Hot Flash Trinity HRT Launches Modern Menopause and Weight-Loss Program to Help Women Truly Feel Themselves Again

    For millions of women, midlife brings more than hot flashes. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and mood swings can combine into what feels like a permanent “slump.” Traditional medicine often treats these symptoms in isolation—if at all—leaving women without answers and without relief.

    Trinity HRT & Wellness, a Fort Myers-based clinic offering both in-person and nationwide telehealth care, is addressing this gap with a new integrated Menopause and Weight-Loss Program designed to tackle the hormonal and metabolic root causes of midlife changes.

    “Menopause is not just a phase—it’s your hormones,” says Dr. Jean-Jacque Vel, physician at Trinity HRT. “When estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function shift, metabolism and mental health shift with them. By treating the whole picture—hormones, nutrition, and mindset—we can help women feel balanced and confident again.”

    Unlike many conventional approaches, Trinity’s program combines personalized hormone therapy with one-on-one weight-loss coaching, ensuring women receive both medical guidance and practical support for lifestyle changes. This dual strategy helps address the common frustrations of midlife: stubborn weight gain, sleep disruption, anxiety, and declining energy.

    Patients can choose to visit the Fort Myers clinic or connect via secure, nationwide telehealth consultations, making support accessible for women across the U.S. Every plan is individualized, beginning with lab testing and a free consultation to discuss personal goals and symptoms.

    Faith-based values also play a role in Trinity’s approach. “We believe the body is a temple,” says the clinic’s wellness coach. “Our mission is not only to restore physical health but also to nurture emotional and spiritual well-being during a stage of life that’s often overlooked.”

    Why It Matters

    80% of women experience menopausal symptoms that interfere with daily life, yet many never receive targeted treatment.

    Weight gain during menopause is strongly linked to hormonal shifts, not just lifestyle factors.

    Studies show that treating hormones and metabolism together can improve not only physical health but also quality of life.

    With this new program, Trinity HRT & Wellness hopes to spark a larger conversation about menopause care—shifting it from symptom management to whole-person healing.

    About Trinity HRT & Wellness
    Trinity HRT & Wellness provides personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy and wellness services to patients in Fort Myers, FL, and nationwide via telehealth. Rooted in Christian values, Trinity combines medical expertise with compassionate, holistic care to help patients restore balance, energy, and vitality.

  • Scientology hosts its 12th edition of the Religious Freedom Awards in Spain

    On September 19, 2025, the twelfth Religious Freedom Awards were held at the Church of Scientology headquarters in Madrid, organized by the Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, which has UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status. These pioneering awards in Spain and Europe recognized five honorees for their work defending religious freedom, freedom of conscience, and interfaith dialogue: Salvador Pérez Álvarez (UNED) for promoting positive secularism and a culture of peace; Óscar Salguero Montaño (Complutense University of Madrid) for advancing diversity and coexistence; Javier García Oliva (University of Manchester) for his international perspective on rights; Luis Morente Leal (Buddhist Union of Spain) for his advocacy of equality and minority faiths; and Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa (Hindu Federation of Spain) for strengthening interreligious dialogue. The event reaffirmed its role as a European benchmark in promoting diversity as a source of societal enrichment.

    Madrid, September 19, 2025 – The headquarters of the Church of Scientology in Madrid hosted the twelfth edition of the Religious Freedom Awards, organized by the Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, pioneers in Spain and Europe in recognizing the work of those who defend religious freedomfreedom of conscience and interfaith dialogue.

    These awards, unique in their kind, and drawing from precept 18th of The Way to Happinness by L Ron Hubbard, bring together academics, jurists, religious leaders, and representatives of civil society in an event that seeks to highlight the challenges and achievements in this field. The Foundation, which holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and which was proudly founded by the Church of Scientology, has brought the voice of Spanish religious communities to international forums, including Geneva, Vienna, and New York, consolidating its role as a relevant actor in the promotion of this fundamental right.

    Among those in attendance were Mr. Daniel Pelayo, Deputy Director General for Religious Freedom at the Ministry of the Presidency, and representatives of the Diversity Management Unit of the Madrid Municipal Police, whose work was highlighted during the event. Other attendees were from the Bahai Community of Spain, the sisterhood of Vedruna Carmelita nuns of Charity, among others.

    A message of dignity and freedom

    Premios Isabel Ayuso Puente.jpg

    The ceremony opened with remarks by Isabel Ayuso Puente, Secretary General of the Foundation, who recalled that religious freedom is essential even in times of war:

    “In a world ravaged by war, it might seem a little frivolous to focus on freedom of belief or freedom of religion, because there are other needs that seem more pressing, and indeed they are, at present.”

    Ayuso emphasized the centrality of freedom of belief to human dignity:

    “Freedom of belief is like the freedom of freedoms. Without it, people would not have the status of human beings.“

    Finally, he highlighted the need to make diversity of belief visible in order to strengthen coexistence:

    ”to give visibility to religion, because it can be a pillar, and in fact is a pillar, for laying the foundations for a future and a better society in which everyone can live in peace.”

    Five awards, five approaches

    This year, for the first time, the awards were expanded from three to five, incorporating awards that recognize the practical work of religious communities and their direct contribution to dialogue and coexistence.

    Professor Salvador Pérez Álvarez – Positive secularism and culture of peace

    The first award winner of the night was Salvador Pérez Álvarez, Professor of Ecclesiastical Law at the UNED, presented by Professor Fernando Amérigo-Cuervo, who highlighted his academic career and his commitment to freedom of conscience and bioethics.

    Premios Salvador Perez Alvarez.jpg

    In his speech, Pérez reflected on the constitutional principles that guarantee religious freedom:

    “Positive state secularism is the institutional guarantee, the constitutional pillar that underpins the full enjoyment of religious freedom by all citizens in an increasingly pluralistic society, under conditions of real and effective equality.”

    He warned of the growing risk of hate speech in society:

    “This argument is becoming increasingly radicalized and, what is more worrying, in my humble opinion, it is becoming increasingly prevalent in different social sectors.”

    He called for a collective commitment to address these threats:

    “We cannot stand idly by in the face of this new form of threat to coexistence on the grounds of religious differences.”

    Finally, he linked freedom of belief to the construction of a more just society:

    “The fulfillment of this requirement has served as the basis for the implementation of a genuine culture of peace as a sustainable development goal.”

    Professor Óscar Salguero Montaño – Diversity, respect, and dialogue

    The second prize went to Óscar Salguero Montaño, professor and social anthropologist at the Complutense University of Madrid, presented by UAM professor Ana Isabel Planet, who highlighted his commitment to social change and the promotion of coexistence.

    Premios Oscar Salguero.jpg

    Salguero began by recalling the words of Jürgen Habermas after 9/11, which remain fully valid:

    “Secular citizens must stop understanding religions as atavistic realities and, on the other hand, religious citizens and their representatives must open themselves to dialogue with modernity, far from any fundamentalist attitude.”

    She explained how freedom of belief underpins social diversity:

    “This freedom of belief enables each and every one of us to live according to our deepest convictions, whether political, religious, or non-religious, and always under the crystal-clear prism of respect and coexistence.”

    He warned against the political exploitation of beliefs:

    “We see how religious beliefs are increasingly being exploited to generate conflict or used as an excuse to limit rights.”

    And he linked this challenge to the fragility of peace:

    “Coexistence and interreligious respect are fragile values that we must protect and defend.”

    Professor Javier García Oliva – An international perspective on rights

    The third award recognized the work of Javier García Oliva, Professor of Constitutional Law and Dean of the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences at the University of Manchester (United Kingdom), presented by UCM Professor Santiago Cañamares.

    Premios Javier Garcia Oliva.jpg

    García Oliva recalled the historical challenges to religious freedom and their current impact:

    “It is disheartening to think that this person had to live in fear and hide their beliefs.”

    Referring to the contemporary reality, he warned:

    “In many parts of the world, including Western Europe, many citizens face serious problems, even death, in exercising their religious freedom.”

    He emphasized the need for a balance between fundamental rights:

    “Religious freedom is a fundamental and non-negotiable right in a democracy, but it can only be fully enjoyed if other fundamental rights are respected.”

    Mr. Luis Morente Leal – Buddhism and equality in diversity

    The fourth award was presented to Luis Morente Leal, representative of the Buddhist Union of Spain and a lawyer with decades of experience in defending equal treatment for minority faiths.

    Premios Luis Morente.jpg

    Morente spoke about the importance of knowledge as the basis for respect:

    “Knowing and dealing with other people who think differently from me has not only enriched me, but has also made me understand in all its depth the phrase that to know is to love.”

    He shared personal experiences of discrimination:

    “I have experienced discrimination in my own country for two reasons. One, when I had an African girlfriend. And another, when some people found out that I was a Buddhist.”

    He defended diversity as an enriching element of society:

    “Diversity enriches us. And diversity is not only what is in line with our religion, it is also the person who has a code of ethics.”

    And he expressed his desire for a peaceful future:

    “May some generation in this world finally live without hatred, live without wars, and live knowing others and, above all, knowing themselves.”

    Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa – Recognition and interreligious dialogue

    The last award went to Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa, president of the Hindu Federation of Spain, for his work in representing and uniting Hindu communities, as well as his proactive participation in multiple interreligious spaces, such as the TRANSCENDENCE International Forum, among others.

    Premios Krishna Kripa Dasa.jpg

    Krishna Kripa Dasa recalled the daily coexistence in his hometown, Ceuta:

    “In Ceuta, coexistence is not an academic exercise or a matter of diplomacy, but something that is lived on a daily basis.”

    He defended the millennial status of Hinduism as a religion deeply rooted in the world and in Spain:

    “Hinduism has 1.2 billion followers, a presence in 145 countries, and 130 years of history in Spain.”

    He pointed out the need to avoid the fragmentation of communities and explained the inclusive vision of his tradition:

    “The truth is one, but the sages call it by different names.”

    Religious freedom: a living practice

    Premios Ivan Arjona.jpg

    To close the event, Iván Arjona Pelado, president of the Foundation and representative of Scientology to the European institutions and the United Nations, thanked the award winners and all those present, emphasizing that religious freedom is a collective effort:

    “Today we have seen that religious freedom is not only a legal right, but a living practice that builds more just and peaceful societies.”

    The ceremony concluded with a group photo and a call to continue working together for coexistence, cooperation, and respect among all beliefs.

    A consolidated event on the religious freedom calendar

    With this twelfth edition, the Religious Freedom Awards reaffirm their role as a meeting platform for religious communities, institutions, and human rights defenders. The Foundation’s international recognition, thanks to its status with the UN, has made these awards a European benchmark in the defense of freedom of belief, with a view to building societies where diversity is understood as a source of wealth and not as a threat.

    The closing remarks of the evening also reflected on the origins and vision that made these awards possible. The Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, established by the Church of Scientology, draws inspiration from the teachings of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who emphasized that “religious freedom is the first freedom.” Under the leadership of Mr. David Miscavige, the Church has expanded its humanitarian and interfaith initiatives worldwide, fostering dialogue and understanding among communities of diverse beliefs. This global vision continues to guide the Foundation’s efforts to defend the rights of all individuals to practice their faith freely and to promote a culture of peace and coexistence.

  • NANOGEIOS Develops Revolutionary IRIS X Platform for Cost Effective Natural Hydrogen and Helium Detection

    NANOGEIOS and AIDEN DIGITAL LABS have developed the IRIS-X platform, a breakthrough technology that reduces the cost of natural hydrogen exploration by 95-98% and cuts deployment time from 18 months to 8 weeks, enabling rapid and sustainable resource discovery.

    A breakthrough in sustainable resource exploration technology

    MIAMI, FL — September 18, 2025 — Growing global demand for clean energy and accelerating climate change mitigation efforts have intensified the search for sustainable alternatives. Natural hydrogen emerges as a promising zero-carbon energy solution due to its high energy density and clean combustion characteristics. Among exploration methods, conventional drilling and seismic surveying remain costly and inefficient; however, their dependence on extensive surface disturbance and multi-million dollar budgets limits large-scale implementation. Advanced subsurface detection offers a practical alternative by leveraging Earth’s natural hydrogen and helium resources, but high operational costs, extended timelines, and environmental impacts pose significant challenges for sustainable resource development.

    To address this, a research team led by  Abdelmoumen Shad Serroune at NANOGEIOS Laboratory, in partnership with AIDEN DIGITAL LABS, developed a robust and cost-effective exploration platform capable of high-performance resource detection in complex geological environments. Dr. Serroune shares the motivation behind this breakthrough: “Conventional exploration methodologies, though established within the industry, face significant challenges including prohibitive costs, extended deployment periods, and environmental concerns that hinder commercialization. Our research is driven by the mission to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable resource exploration technology to overcome these critical barriers.” Their findings were first published in the International Journal of Medical Science and Clinical Invention in July 2025. 

    The team designed the IRIS-X (Integrated Reconnaissance and Imaging System – eXtended) an exploration platform that overcomes limitations of conventional drilling and seismic methods in natural hydrogen and helium exploration with the unique ability to be adapted for rare earth minerals, noble gases and minerals. They employed proprietary nano biomarker technology combined with advanced metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor arrays to synthesize selective detection matrices with crystalline-amorphous heterostructures. The nano-biomarkers are engineered to latch onto target molecules like hydrogen and helium with remarkable precision, achieving near-perfect binding efficiencies of 99.1% and 98.4%, respectively. During deployment, controlled nitrogen carrier injection facilitates uniform subsurface distribution while real-time magnetic tracking systems provide three-dimensional pathway reconstruction capabilities. 

    Comprehensive field testing in Indonesia’s Padang region demonstrated outstanding resource detection performance. Over a 14-week validation campaign, IRIS-X exhibited exceptional analytical capabilities with 92% detection efficacy across variable lithological settings. 

    The platform successfully quantified hydrogen accumulations totaling 18.5±2.3 million cubic meters while maintaining measurement precision within ±5% variance across challenging tropical conditions. Durability was confirmed through sustained operation across diverse geological formations including serpentinization zones and radiolysis environments. Crucially, the platform demonstrated exceptional cost-effectiveness with operational expenditures of $1,500,000 per campaign compared to conventional methods requiring $5-20 million, representing a 95-98% cost reduction while compressing deployment timelines from 6-18 months to 6-8 weeks.

    The study highlights several distinct advantages. The IRIS-X platform synergistically combines high-sensitivity detection with optimized operational efficiency through radial well configurations covering 20,000 square meters per deployment with the ability to reach 100.000 sqm. The integrated AI-driven data processing prevents measurement artifacts while enabling real-time resource quantification. The overall design provides exceptional environmental stewardship with zero operational incidents and minimal surface disturbance. Together, these features enable cost-effective, scalable resource exploration directly from natural formations while reducing environmental impact and supporting decarbonization across energy-intensive sectors. 

    AMS Serroune emphasizes, “Our breakthrough enables direct natural hydrogen and helium exploration from subsurface formations using advanced nano biomarker technology, opening vast geological resources for clean energy generation.” He adds, “The enhanced exploration systems demonstrate remarkable economic viability with 95-98% cost reduction compared to conventional methods, making resource discovery significantly more accessible for commercial development.“. 

    Looking toward future applications, the IRIS-X architecture supports expansion into critical mineral exploration through aptamer-functionalized nano biomarker systems specifically engineered for uranium, thorium, lithium, cobalt, and rare earth element detection, positioning the technology at the forefront of the global energy transition. 

    In conclusion, this work establishes a nano biomarker-mediated detection strategy that simultaneously addresses sensitivity, efficiency, and environmental challenges in subsurface resource exploration. Dr. Serroune notes, “Our technology will accelerate clean energy adoption by enabling rapid identification of natural hydrogen resources while maintaining superior environmental standards.” By enabling efficient and sustainable subsurface exploration, this study provides a blueprint for next-generation resource discovery, paving the way for large-scale clean energy infrastructure development.

  • No More Spreadsheets Two Childhood Friends Launch Card Codex – A Pokmon Card Database Built for Collectors

    Software developers turned their collecting frustration into a solution that’s revolutionizing how Pokemon fans manage their treasures.

    NEW YORK, NY – What started as a late-night complaint session between two childhood friends has evolved into Card Codex, the comprehensive Pokémon card database that’s changing how collectors track and manage their prized collections.

    Tom Urbain and Oli Southward had been Pokemon card enthusiasts since the original Base Set release in 1998. But by 2022, their shared hobby had become a source of constant frustration.

    “We both had these absolutely massive Excel files,” laughs Urbain, a full-stack developer at a local tech startup. “Oli had over 3,000 rows in his spreadsheet, and I wasn’t far behind. We’d spend entire weekends trying to figure out which cards we were missing from new sets.”

    The breaking point came during a particularly heated trading session. Southward, a UX designer, had accidentally bought duplicate copies of a $200 Charizard because his spreadsheet organization had failed him. Again.

    “I looked at Oli surrounded by these identical expensive cards and said, ‘Dude, we’re software people. Why are we living like this?’” Urbain recalls.

    That weekend, fueled by pizza and childhood nostalgia, the duo began sketching out what would become Card Codex. Their vision was simple: create the Pokemon card database they wished existed as collectors, not just as developers.

    Building for Collectors, By Collectors

    Unlike existing databases that focused primarily on card information, Card Codex was designed around the actual collecting experience. The platform combines comprehensive card data with intuitive collection management, real-time market pricing, and smart watchlist features.

    “We knew the technical specs of every card weren’t enough,” explains Southward. “Collectors need to know what they own, what it’s worth, and what they’re hunting for next. Most tools only solved part of that puzzle.”

    The friends spent nine months building Card Codex in their spare time, testing features with their local Pokemon league and iterating based on real collector feedback. They launched with a database of over 20,000 cards spanning every major Pokemon set, complete with high-resolution images and current market values.

    From Personal Project to Community Platform

    What began as a solution to their own spreadsheet chaos has grown into a platform serving over 1,500 collectors worldwide. Users have cataloged more than 150,000 cards worth an estimated $1.4 million in total value.

    “The growth has been incredible,” says Urbain. “We’re seeing everyone from casual collectors with 50 cards to serious investors tracking portfolios worth tens of thousands of dollars.”

    The platform’s watchlist feature has become particularly popular, allowing collectors to track cards they’re hunting across multiple sets and receive alerts when prices drop or cards become available.

    The Future of Digital Collecting

    As the Pokemon card market continues to evolve, Urbain and Southward see Card Codex playing an increasingly important role in the community. They’re currently working on features like collection analytics, market trend predictions, and expanded social features.

    “We’re still those kids who got excited pulling a holographic Charizard,” says Urbain. “Now we just happen to have built the tools to help other collectors have those same moments more easily.”

    For collectors still managing their prized Pokemon cards in spreadsheets, Card Codex offers a free tier to get started. Premium features unlock advanced analytics and unlimited collection tracking.

    The platform is available at card-codex.com.

    Founded in 2024 by Tom Urbain and Oli Southward, Card Codex is the comprehensive Pokemon card database designed by collectors, for collectors. The platform combines detailed card information, real-time pricing data, and intuitive collection management tools to help Pokemon fans track, value, and grow their collections with confidence.

  • Scientology Celebrates 45 Years of strong roots in Spain servicing Freedom Faith and Social Betterment

    Scientology celebrates 45 years in Spain, promoting human rights, education, and religious freedom through nationwide programs and its MEJORA foundation.

    Madrid, September 18, 2025 – Today Scientologists celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first legal incorporation of the Church of Scientology in Spain. This milestone commemorates nearly half a century of devotion to spiritual values, cultural enrichment, and humanitarian work, reflecting the Church’s enduring presence and positive impact in Spanish society.

    A Historical Journey Rooted in Spain

    The story of Scientology in Spain stretches back more than seventy years, to a time when its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, first set foot on Spanish soil.

    In 1953, Mr Hubbard traveled through Spain, exploring Sitges, the narrow streets of Sevilla, and the rugged beauty of the Canary Islands among others. These early visits were more than a passing journey; they were moments of quiet reflection and exchange, where he shared ideas and began laying the spiritual foundations that would one day flourish into a global movement.

    By 1967, Mr Hubbard’s vision had taken on a bold new form, as reminded by Prof. Francisco Díez de Velasco in his glossary of religions, with the creation of the Sea Organization, a religious order dedicated to expanding Scientology’s reach worldwide. From the decks of ships such as the Enchanter and the legendary Apollo, Spain’s harbors became gateways of connection and cooperation.

    Las Palmas, Valencia, Cádiz, Ibiza, and Tenerife were not just stops on a map but living stages for cultural exchange. The Sea Organization’s presence was marked by both its spiritual mission and vibrant cultural activities, including the music of the Apollo Stars, a band formed by crew members whose concerts built bridges of goodwill wherever they performed, as reported by European Scientology representative in a scholarly article for specialized book published by Dykinson.

    These early years wove together threads of exploration, faith, and community—seeds that would grow into today’s established Church of Scientology in Spain.

    From Legal Recognition to National Growth

    As Scientology’s presence grew, a pivotal moment came in 1980, when the Church achieved its first formal legal incorporation in Spain, as the Civil Association of Dianetics, the early book that started it all in Scientology. This provided the clarity and structure needed to expand its mission, offering Scientologists a recognized platform to serve both their parishioners and the broader society.

    Over the following decades, the movement grew steadily, culminating in September 2004, when thousands gathered in central Madrid for the grand opening of the National Church of Scientology on Calle de Santa Catalina, a circa 5600 square meters, steps away from the Spanish Parliament, in testament to the openness and willingness of the church to do its part for a better society.

    More than 6,000 attendees—including civic leaders, cultural figures, law enforcement, and members of the public—celebrated the opening of this striking facility, which became a beacon for spiritual life and humanitarian outreach.

    At this historic event, Mr David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, addressed the congregation and the gathered crowd:

    “Spain, and its people, held a very dear place in the heart of L. Ron Hubbard. If Spain was a land where our Founder lit a torch for freedom, it is also a land where you kept that torch alive.
    Through the darkest days, overcoming insurmountable obstacles against overwhelming odds, you demonstrated in action the essence of these words of our Founder:
    ‘The old must give way to the new, falsehood must become exposed by truth, and truth, though fought, always in the end prevails.’”

    This message of perseverance and truth continues to resonate as Scientology celebrates its 45-year legacy in Spain.

    In 2011, the Church undertook a major renovation of its Madrid headquarters, expanding spaces for education, training, cultural events, and community gatherings. The renewed facility became a dynamic center dedicated to service, cooperation, and shared purpose.

    Humanitarian Programs: Deepening Social Contribution

    As the Church’s spiritual foundations strengthened, its commitment to social service and humanitarian action grew, as inherent in the Scientology teachings. What began as small, local initiatives evolved into a nationwide network of programs that bring education, relief, and hope to thousands.

    Fighting Drug Abuse: Prevention and Rehabilitation

    Drug abuse devastates families and communities. Through the Truth About Drugs campaign, Scientology volunteers travel across Spain distributing clear, factual materials about the dangers of drugs. In cities like Valencia, these outreach events have empowered young people and parents to make informed choices and break cycles of addiction before they start.

    For those already struggling, the Church and its members support Narconon centers, which provide rehabilitation programs based on the methods developed by L. Ron Hubbard—helping individuals reclaim their lives and reintegrate into society.

    Building Careers: Education, Literacy, and Ethical Values

    Education is fundamental to progress. Through Applied Scholastics, teachers and parents receive tools to improve literacy and study techniques, helping students overcome barriers to learning.

    In addition, El Camino a la Felicidad (The Way to Happiness)—a secular guidebook of 21 common-sense principles for ethical living—is widely distributed in schools, community centers, and correctional facilities, promoting values like honesty, respect, and integrity.

    Championing Human Rights

    Scientology places a strong emphasis on human rights education. Through Unidos por los Derechos Humanos (United for Human Rights), the Church sponsors workshops and public campaigns teaching the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These efforts foster understanding, tolerance, and respect for diversity, reducing discrimination and social conflict.

    Helping Hands: Charity and Community Support

    Across Spain, Scientology volunteers engage in practical acts of compassion:

    • Organizing food, clothing, and toy drives for families in need.
    • Supporting blood donation campaigns for hospitals.
    • Partnering with organizations like the Red Cross, the Army, and many others, to assist vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly.

    These efforts reflect the Church’s ongoing mission to be a reliable source of help and kindness wherever it is most needed.

    Recognition and Collaboration

    In recent years, the Church of Scientology and its foundation—the Fundación para la Mejora de la Vida, la Cultura y la Sociedad (MEJORA)—have gained notable recognition for defending religious freedom and promoting pluralism.

    Each year, the Religious Freedom Awards hosted at the Madrid headquarters bring together prominent jurists, academics, activists, and government officials. Attendees have included representatives from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Presidency, Law Enforcement, Embassies, NGOs, and leading universities across Spain.

    At the 2024 ceremony, the Deputy Director General of Religious Freedom was among the high-profile participants, underscoring the importance of these events in strengthening Spain’s democratic values of coexistence, tolerance, and human dignity. Furthermore, the Church and its foundation collaborate with state institutions like the Fundación Pluralismo y Convivencia, which promotes religious diversity and interfaith dialogue. These partnerships reinforce Spain’s evolving commitment to a society where freedom of belief is respected and celebrated.

    About the Church of Scientology Spain

    The Church of Scientology Spain operates from its national headquarters in Madrid and through regional centers and community programs across the country.

    Its foundation, MEJORA, holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations ECOSOC and leads projects in human rights, education, ethics, and cultural advancement, engaging with European institutions and global initiatives.

    As Scientology celebrates 45 years in Spain, the Church and its foundation reaffirm their dedication to fostering understanding, defending religious freedom, and improving the quality of life for individuals and communities. From its early beginnings to its nationwide network of humanitarian programs, it continues to serve as a beacon of hope and cooperation, working toward a future where compassion, education, and respect for diversity are the foundation of a thriving and peaceful society.
