CIRCLE OF THE FREE SPIRIT As a spiritual association we seek Wisdom - Sophia - wherever She may be found. As such we openly draw from Buddhism, Vedanta, Gnosticism and other traditions, with roots in pre-Nicene Christian apostolic lineages. As a cultural association we advocate a cosmopolitan
libertarian and egalitarian society where spiritual and cultural traditions and
personal lifestyles may be practiced side-by-side in peace and friendship. INSIGHT OUT We are proud to announce that Circle of the Free Spirit, and the events listed on this page, are sponsored by INSIGHT OUT, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization.

"In the Name of the Infinite Mind
of Light, Circle of the Free Spirit was founded in 1992 in New York City as a spiritual and cultural association, with a focus on ministry, study, liturgy, friendship, social justice and the arts. As a cultural association we advocate a cosmopolitan libertarian society where spiritual and cultural traditions and personal lifestyles may be practiced side-by-side in peace, social justice, and friendship -- while honoring, protecting, and sharing the blessings of Mother Earth. "Whatever happens to another, happens to oneself." - Oscar Wilde, De Profundis As a spiritual association we offer ministry rooted in the independent sacramental lineage and the Way of Gnosis (Self-Knowledge) as found in pre-Nicene Christianity, and with correspondences in other spiritual traditions and pathways. "Friendship is the whole of the spiritual life." - Gautama the Buddha We look to one another for insight and cameraderie along the way. Wherever the Circle gathers, there is our "temple in consciousness", one "not built by human hands". We call this AVATAR TEMPLE in friendship with the Hermetic Order of the Silver Sword and its Avalon Temple in Toronto. "God Is Friendship" - Saint Aelred of Rievaulx (ca 1110 - January 12, 1167) As individuals and friends we also work for social justice and engage in literary, visual, contemplative, and performing arts.
