Sunday, June 19, ⋅ 1:00 pm - Summer Solstice Water Ritual
A Summer Solstice ritual to charge the water we will use for Thelesis Gnostic Mass for the next 12 months.

OTO USGL policy dictates that if Philadelphia County is "orange" - which it is right now - we can not hold events. Please stay safe and healthy so we can gather again. All events below are contingent on Philadelphia moving to "yellow" status. The status is updated every Thursday, and you can check it here. If we must cancel, we will send an email, so make sure to check your inbox, the Thelesis page, or Thelesis website.

In anticipation of the city's returning mask mandate, we're asking all attendees at this Saturday's Gnostic Mass to mask up. Either a N-95/KN-95 style mask or a surgical mask paired with a cloth mask will suffice (single layer or gaiter style masks will not).

Hey y'all,

If you've got the extra, consider sharing with out siblings in New Orleans. If you consider this magical spot one of your favorite places to visit, I encourage you to donate to one of the many organizations trying to help those residents in need.
