Saturday, November 14, 2026, 3:00 AM - 6:00 AM · The Philosophical Research Society, Los Feliz, Los Angeles
The Philosophical Research Society hosts the world premiere of The Bishop of Hollywood, a documentary narrated by Alfred Molina that traces the life of Gnostic Bishop Stephan Hoeller. A Q&A with author Gary Lachman and director Darren Richardson follows the screening.
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.
