Rosicrucianism, Alchemy, Tarot, and Western Esotericism
An evening for kindred souls drawn to Rosicrucianism, alchemy, and the wider Western esoteric tradition.
The Rose Circle began in the spring of 2006 at a gathering in Bayonne, New Jersey. It started as an afternoon of talks and became an evening of art, good food, and conversation, in the spirit of the old Salons de la Rose-Croix. Over the next decade, it brought scholars, practitioners, artists, and seekers together in New York for lectures, conferences, and dinners. It all rested on one idea: that the adept and the academic have a great deal to learn from each other.
We’re reviving that spirit with a relaxed social evening. Come meet others who share an interest in Rosicrucianism, the Great Work of alchemy, Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Masonic symbolism, and the many related traditions. Whether you’ve been on the path for decades or are just starting to ask questions, you’ll find good company and conversation here.
No membership or affiliation with any order or lodge is required. Just bring your curiosity.
