The Autumn Salon takes place as the days grow shorter and we enter the darker half of the year. It is a season associated in many traditions with mystery, transformation and the crossing of thresholds. In this darker Salon, we turn towards the hidden and unknown, exploring esoteric traditions and themes that invite us to look more deeply into darkness, mystery and the inner life.
