Convocation: Experiment 2 on Visualization, 2 pm, Portland 5/26/19

meditation
Come to Convocations this month only if you wish to become more proficient in the art of Mental Creation.  Using the three skills of Concentration, Contemplation, and Visualization, a Rosicrucian can take ideas from the mental plane and bring them to the plane of Actuality.  

Come to Convocations only if you wish to shape the way your world works, instead of letting life happen to you.

Come to Convocations because you may have picked up part of our vision of a fun and full Enneadic Star Chapter and you want to take this vision and bring it into Actuality. 

All this year we are tailoring Convocation discourses and Exercises to the twin goals of making you a more powerful and skillful adept, and to making our group a more powerful, skillful and loving place to share our lights with you.

Ritual Reminder: UPDATED: New Year Ceremony for Rosicrucian year 3372, Portland, 2 pm, 3/24/19. Important Download available.

sphinx-1000x675-1000x640On Sunday, March 24, join us for our annual New Year ceremony and the symbolic feast.  Welcome in this time of renewal and rebirth by reconnecting with members and enjoying the company of fellow initiates. The Grand Lodge considers the New Year ceremony to be mandatory for members. We highly encourage you to attend the Pronaos event or conduct the ritual at home (details below) so that you receive the spiritual benefits of this spring equinox ceremony. At the Kenton ritual, we will share the history of the order, as we partake in a symbolic alchemical meal representing the four elements.

It’s our goal for 3372 to upgrade the local group from a pronaos to a chapter. That will allow us to do a lot more to support the members and will open up new officer positions and a host of new rituals that we can perform at convocation. All we have to do is have 30 members show up to at least three convocations this year! So, the New Year ritual is a great way for you to come and support the group and help us move closer to our goal of expanding the local organization.

If you cannot get to the pronaos, please conduct the following meditation in private on the Equinox/Full Moon on March 20.

Overall Exercise draws Rosicrucians for meditation, visualization, snacks

IMG_0296If you were unable to make it to our last open class, we’re sad to say; you missed out on a great time.

On Sunday, Jan. 27. about two dozen Rosicrucians and half a dozen inquirers gathered at the Kenton Masonic Lodge in Portland for public teaching on the Overall Exercise visualization.

We usually hold a members-only ritual (convocation) on every other Sunday of the month. But in January we held two rare public teachings on fundamental Rosicrucian mystical practices.  Earlier that month we had an open class on the intonation of the Vowel Sounds at our Wilsonville ritual location. The good news is that if you missed it, these classes have been so popular we’ll probably have more in the coming year.

At the Kenton event, we gathered in the library among the dusty tomes of Masonic rituals and the exotic artifacts of that organization. Typically, we’d have events in the main temple, but because of a renovation project, that area was not entirely mystical feeling. But the library had a very venerable and cozy quality to it.

Public Class on The Overall Exercise Jan. 27, in Portland

overalexceriseOn Jan. 27th, the Enneadic Star Pronaos will conduct a class on the Rosicrucian Overall Exercise as practiced by the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC).

The Overall Exercise is a term used for a foundational meditation technique. This is a basic visualization in which the body is charged with light and cosmic energy. The practice is incorporated into many of the more advanced practices taught by AMORC.

It’s often recommended that you practice the Overall Exercise each morning or each evening before bed. The practice is often coupled with intoning of the Vowel Sounds and with the Charging of Water Exercise.

This class is highly recommended for new members and for long-time members who want to renew or reinvigorate their practice. If you are simply interested in learning more about AMORC teachings and practices, this is a great way to start.
