Topics relevant to our three objectives are particularly welcome: universal brotherhood, comparative religion and philosophy, and the investigation of nature and human potential.
Ongoing Programs
Our study groups meet regularly throughout the year — small, focused gatherings exploring specific texts, traditions, or themes in depth. Open to members; prospective members are welcome to attend a session to get acquainted before joining.
