Hidden in Plain Sight

Hidden in Plain Sight:
The Influence of Western Esoteric Movements on Modern Thought

A Conference for Scholars and Practitioners

2010 will mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of The True and Complete
Preparation of the Philosopher's Stone of the Fraternity of the Golden and Rosy
Cross by Sincerus Renatus in 1710, the first known reference to the Rosicrucians
as an institution.

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 on the weekend of July 22-25, 2010, coinciding with that
month's Full Moon, at Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, founded in 1927 by Dr. H.
Spencer Lewis. Mark your calendars now! Please contact librarian@rosicrucian.org
for more information. If you are interesting in submitting a paper, click here.

There is no set conference fee. There is a suggested donation of $75.00 per
participant (at the door) to help defray Conference costs.
