Hidden in Plain Sight:
The Influence of Western Esoteric
Movements on Modern Thought
A Conference for Scholars and
Practitioners
July 22-25, 2010
Through scholarly research, the interaction of
Western Esotericism with the mystical traditions of organized religion has
been recognized to be extensive. Further, and less well known, is the often
pivotal role esoteric groups and beliefs have had in shaping the modern world
as a whole, while remaining “Hidden in Plain Sight.”
We invite you to this conference to join with other
scholars and practitioners within the field of western esotericism in
exploring the substantial influence this tradition has on modern thought.
In addition to the opportunity to share our
research and practice within the realm of western esotericism, we envision the
weekend as an opportunity to celebrate the many facets of this tradition. We
invite participants to exercise not only their scholarship, but cultural
creativity as well.
We will gather together July 22-25, at Rosicrucian
Park in San Jose, founded in 1927 by H. Spencer Lewis.
There is no set conference fee. There is a
suggested donation of $75.00 per participant to help defray Conference costs.
Please register early. Registrations will be accepted through June 22 or until
the conference is sold out. Registrations will not be accepted at the
door.
