What we’re about
This is a meetup for people interested in esoteric spirituality. We'll meet in Lugano every few weeks to share insights, experiences and ideas.
Since on meetup it is frequently not the case, please note that we are a non-confessional and non-partisan group and there will be no attempts to recruit anyone to any specific group or tradition. On the contrary, it is the exchange of perspectives which we expect to be the most productive (as they say in French, "du choc des idées jaillit la lumière"). Persons who consider themselves to be in possession of the one true route to enlightenment are kindly asked to stay away.
All our events are also free, or at most organized on a pure cost-recovery basis.
As an esoteric group, we do not seek to cover mainstream non-esoteric practices other than in their esoteric aspects. So this is not a group for what is commonly practised as meditation and yoga. For further information on what constitutes "esoteric", we refer you to the literature ;) For the so-called western tradition, and which should probably better be called a near-Eastern/Mediterranean tradition (practically speaking, those traditions which have existed alongside and in a certain symbiosis with, the major world monotheistic religions), you can see here. But we also welcome insights from oriental and nostratic traditions and other modern currents with a focus on experiential, rather than doctrinal, spirituality. You can also come along if you are merely curious, including healthy skepticism, but not if your purpose is to be dismissive or argumentative and you do not have an open mind.
For the language regime, please refer to the specific event, but we are happy to communicate in any of the local languages except for the moment Swiss German which is a bit more difficult so if you are a German speaker please shoot us messages in standard German, thank you :) In italiano va benissimo.
This is a private group so non-members will not see the details of events. This was not a conscious choice but i cannot change it. Please apply to join so you can see this information, and feel free to leave again if the group is not for you.
