Exploring Gnosticism through study, discussion, and community. An intentional space for people of color to explore spiritual growth.
About this Event

Join us for an intentional and engaging in-person gathering hosted by the NYC Hoodoo Society—a space rooted in hoodoo, conjure, and the exploration of spiritual systems across cultures and traditions.

This book club is more than a discussion group. It is a growing community centered on learning, exchange, and collective empowerment. Each gathering includes guided teaching, open dialogue, and space for reflection as we explore spiritual philosophy, history, and practical application.

For our upcoming meeting, we will be focusing on Gnosticism—its core principles, spiritual framework, and how its teachings can be understood and applied within personal practice. Participants are encouraged to select a book on the subject that resonates with them and come prepared to share insights, questions, or experiences.

What to Expect:

  • Guided discussion and teaching on Gnosticism
  • Open dialogue and shared perspectives
  • A welcoming, intentional space for people of color
  • Opportunities to deepen your spiritual understanding and practice
  • Light refreshments

Preparation (Optional but Encouraged):

  • Choose a book on Gnosticism
  • Research the author to ensure credible, non-AI-generated work
  • Begin exploring the fundamentals of the system
  • Start or refine an ancestral altar

Community Values:
This is a protected space designed for people of color to explore spiritual traditions, build knowledge, and connect with like-minded practitioners. Participation is encouraged—this is not a passive experience.

Dress Code:
Come as your elevated self. “Sunday’s best” is encouraged. Please avoid casual attire such as jeans, sneakers, mini-skirts, sandals, or athletic wear.

Location:
111 Willoughby St, Brooklyn, NY
Penthouse Lounge (check in at front desk)

Date & Time:
May 17th | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Admission:
Free to attend. Donations are encouraged and appreciated.

Important:
Please reserve your ticket in advance to secure your spot. Capacity is limited, and this helps us maintain the integrity of the space.

If this resonates with you, we welcome you to join us—and to share with others who feel called.

There is limited free street parking and tons of paid parking lots available nearby.
