Saturday's Lunch with Lon

It has been a tradition for the last few NOTOCONs that we have a Lunch with Lon Milo DuQuette on one of the days of the conference.  We will be having a great Middle Eastern Buffet Lunch with our venerated and wise  U.S. Deputy National Grand Master.  The lunch is included in the price of registration for the conference.

The Buffet Menu is as follows:

-Fattouch Salad

-Vegetable Curry Cous Cous Salad

-Chicken Brochettes with Eggplant and Yellow Squash

-Pasta Tossed with a Warm Olive Oil and Basil Sauce with Sundried Tomatoes and Pecorino Cheese

The topic of Brother Lon's talk is as follows: 

“…for there are also of my friends who be hermits.”—The Hermits of the O.T.O.

Lon Milo DuQuette

For most of us, our work in the O.T.O. is focused on the mysteries and activities of the Man of Earth and Lovers triads—degree initiations, Gnostic Masses, and the education and social programs that enhance our mastery and understanding of Thelema. It takes many years to progress through these degrees, and at each step of our initiatory journey we are challenged by serious personal and magical ordeals that try our spiritual integrity, and test our patience and tenacity. In order for us to prevail and advance, our O.T.O. careers oblige us to grow to and evolve! But grow and evolve into what? Ironically, the goal of our years of butting heads with the militantly independent wills of our fellows in the Thelemic community...the goal of laboring to make the great Thelemic experiment work on a societal level...is to become a “Hermit”. Join OTO Hermit, U.S. Deputy Grand Master General Lon Milo DuQuette as he shares his thoughts and unique perspective on what it means to be a Hermit in the OTO. Not tyled.
