Hello, Respected Members of AMORC.

The Grand Councilor for a Region is an officer of Grand Lodge appointed by the Grand Master to see to the Good of the Order, to oversee the Affiliated Bodies, and to help members in a given Region. This note is to announce my retirement as Grand Councilor for the Rocky Mountain Pacific Northwest (RMPNW) Region of AMORC, and I would like to introduce our new Grand Councilor. Grand Master Julie Scott has appointed Soror Jane Fawcett as the new Grand Councilor for our Region. It will be my honor and privilege to install Soror Jane on Sept 20, in a Pronaos Ritual at Mountain Rose Pronaos in Denver.

When she is able to visit Rosicrucians in Oregon, (or maybe in Washington) or if you can be at San Jose in April, I hope you will have the chance to meet Soror Jane in person. I am sure you will agree she is a vibrant, dynamic, and loving person who shines with the Light that only a true mystic and sincere Rosicrucian can radiate. She has a very engaging style and I am confident you will enjoy working with her as she leads our Region into its next stage of growth! Soror Jane is a longtime Rosicrucian and Martinist with lots of experience serving Affiliated Bodies in a number of roles, and she has a deep understanding of Service and Rosicrucian Principles. Please give Soror Jane your eager support, and join me in extending her a heartfelt and warm welcome!

I also want to say that it has been my distinct pleasure to Serve as Grand Councilor for the past 6-1/2 years. Going forward, I will have other opportunities to Serve our beloved Order, and other people, in different ways. I am very grateful for the growth that Service has provided. Thank you for your kind support these past few years!

Sincerely and Fraternally,
Fr Bill Hallett

Greetings, Respected Members of AMORC!

Enneadic Star Pronaos welcomes you to leave your stress behind and join us this coming Sunday July 26th, 2026 at Frog Pond Grange in Wilsonville for an afternoon focused on healing. Members, their families, and close friends of AMORC are welcome. So please invite guests! Members, please bring a printed or electronic copy of your membership credentials. (And maybe hand fans, depending on the weather that day.)

We’ll begin with the Council of Solace Meditation to send healing into a world that needs such care from all of us, to all of us. Then we’ll conduct the Atrium Convocation with a focus on experiencing Rosicrucian Healing. As a bonus, we’ll spend time practicing these skills by sending healing energies to individuals in the group.

Doors open at 1:30, Convocation starts at 2:00. Social hour and refreshments at 3:00. Please bring healthy refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks to share with each other.

A Timely Reminder: The Enneadic Star Pronaos Convocation on July 12, 2026 will NOT include a Pronaos Initiation. This is a members-only meeting (please bring current AMORC membership credentials) The Pronaos Initiation has moved to September, and will depend on there being three or more qualified candidates for Initiation (to qualify, you must have attended at least 3 Rosicrucian Convocations at any affiliated bodies). Let me state from recent experiences, that attending Convocations as a member is very beneficial, but being initiated as a Frater or a Soror is very important, in that you become a true Brother or Sister of ours. This Sunday, July 12th, 2 pm, at Parkrose Lodge, we will have a Pronaos Convocation with the topic being “Visualization”. One purpose of attending a Pronaos is to learn and practice Rosicrucian skills. The Visualization Experiment that we will practice at our meeting, will remind us of the importance of using the skill of Visualization. “Fratres and Sorores, although we are conscious of the importance of visualization in the mystical sense, do we really use it in our lives as well as we could? This faculty is essential not only for our spiritual quest, but also in the mundane material things of life all around us. It is with this powerful technique that we are able to realize and materialize our deepest wishes. That is why we must make every effort to learn to use visualization in every area of our lives.” Be prepared with examples of how you used the skill of visualization to realize a deepest wish in YOUR life. We will discuss these during the Pronaos Convocation. AFTER the Convocation, we are privileged to have our Regional Monitor Clayton Buerkle lead us in the first of a series of discussions and hands-on practice of Tarot and the Kabbalah. Bring Your Own Decks or Trees of Life if you wish. Join us for this practice and then for the social hour afterwards, where we will celebrate our mystical friendships and plan our next adventures. Please bring a healthy treat or drink to share afterwards. Address: 4812 NE 102nd Ave; Portland, OR 97220 (Parkrose Lodge building)

Dear Fraters, Sorors, and Friends,

“I contribute to Peace when I make Peace the foundation of my ideals and philosophy.”

Enneadic Star Pronaos invites members, family, and friends of AMORC to join us for the annual Rosicrucian Meditation for Peace Ceremony and picnic, this coming Sunday at 2pm! We will meet at the Woodlawn Park Amphitheater. Bring a cushion to sit on, because the Amphitheater seating is concrete. Also bring picnic food to share, non-alcoholic beverages, games and musical instruments. The Peace Ceremony is held around the world on the same day with Rosicrucians and friends meditating and visualizing and manifesting Peace locally and worldwide.

Meditation for Peace Ceremony
When: Sunday, June 28th at 2:00 pm
Where: Woodlawn Park Amphitheater; 6854 NE Claremont Ave, Portland, OR

A 10% chance of rain is forecast, but definite overcast weather, which in my humble opinion, beats the oppressive heat. If it rains more than that, there are two excellent restaurants nearby where we can dine under shelter if we buy food or drink items from them.

Peace Profound!
Anjala Ehelebe

Enneadic Star Pronaos welcomes you join us for a Nature Walk on Sunday June 7th at 10:00 AM in Portland. This meeting is open to the public.

We will meet in the Gazebo near the parking lot of Whittaker Ponds Nature Park, 7040 NE 47th Ave. Bring your water bottles, cameras, binoculars, bird books or apps (download the Merlin app, it’s free) and your curiosity! (Bug spray and sunscreen might also be appropriate.) We’ll walk around this former toxic waste site and marvel how nature is making it recover! We’ll identify plants, (edible and medicinal), birds, animals, fish and insects. The pace will be slow and meditative, and in places uneven, with tree roots across the path. We will pause to meditate in a place with stumps and concrete to sit on. We’ll also practice sending group healing to individuals in this walk and elsewhere. Please plan for about 90 minutes in total.

Peace Profound!
