Saturday, September 19, 2026, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM · The Philosophical Research Society, Los Feliz, Los Angeles
PRS Librarian and Co-Curator dama presents an online webinar tracing the Philosophical Research Society library's history since its 1934 founding by Manly P. Hall. The talk covers the collection's founding vision, its artist-in-residence program, and current curatorial practices, followed by audience Q&A.
A quietly mystical Los Feliz compound that feels like you accidentally wandered onto the set of a 1930s occult noir. There’s a library packed with esoteric texts, a courtyard that begs for whispered conversations, and a steady calendar of lectures that swing from genuinely mind-expanding to delightfully unhinged. Come for a talk on alchemy or Jung, stay because the energy is strange in a soothing way. It’s cerebral, eerie, and deeply LA in the most charming sense.
