Beholding the Grail: A Journey Through Dustbin and Dragon

Join us to explore a symbolic framework for understanding where they are on their own inner path.

### Beholding the Grail: A Journey Through Dustbin and Dragon

Presented by Jason DeGray
What if the Grail legend was never really about a cup?

In this talk, we explore a 400-year-old alchemical engraving that encodes the entire arc of the soul's inner journey (from the cave of the hermit to the crown of the mountain) through the language of knights, beasts, and celestial symbols. Drawing on Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, the hermetic alchemical tradition, and the practical psychology of Gurdjieff's inner work, we'll trace the path that every serious seeker eventually faces: the taming of scattered thought, the mastering of emotion, the confrontation with instinct, and the radical act of uprooting what no longer serves.

The Grail isn’t a treasure to be seized. It is a higher state to behold. Come find out what that means for your life.
