Daughter of Sunset Lodge, Vancouver BC
Open to the public

Utopianism and counterculture go hand in hand. They are both critical of the social, cultural, and religious status quo while envisioning an alternative and suggesting ways and means of achieving it. Both Thelema as a religio-philosophical system and the O.T.O. as a social organization dedicated to the promulgation of its principles are, arguably, both utopian and countercultural in their ideals. Join us in the three-part series on the subject where we discuss some selected literary and historical utopian and countercultural ideas and movements and their contemporary relevance. Being discussion based, it is helpful, though not mandatory, to read suggested texts.

The discussion will start with a brief introduction and reading so that everyone can be brought up to speed. For those who want to delve a bit deeper, here is the suggested reading:
