About Us
Our Mission
Gnosis Basica is a religious and philosophical non-profit organization located in Alexandria, Virginia, committed to guiding individuals on the path of inner transformation through the timeless pursuit of self-knowledge, meditation, and conscious awakening. Our mission is to provide practical tools and universal teachings that empower individuals to explore the deeper dimensions of life, mind, and spirit. Inspired by the ancient traditions of esoteric Christianity, Eastern philosophy, Gnosticism, and other wisdom schools, we believe that true knowledge—Gnosis—arises not from belief or theory alone, but from direct personal experience and inner realization.
At Gnosis Basica, we serve as a sanctuary for spiritual seekers from all walks of life. Through a diverse range of offerings, we aim to make the journey of awakening both accessible and transformative. Our public lectures invite the community to explore essential spiritual and philosophical themes. Our virtual classrooms allow students from across the country and the world to engage in deep study from the comfort of their own homes. We offer structured First and Second Chamber courses, which serve as progressive paths of study and practice for those seeking deeper levels of initiation and understanding.
Our workshops and seminars create immersive learning environments for reflection, dialogue, and inner work, while our reading clubs foster community and shared inquiry into sacred texts and profound teachings. Central to our mission are our guided meditation sessions, available both in-person and online, where participants learn to quiet the mind, awaken consciousness, and reconnect with the divine presence within.
At its core, Gnosis Basica is more than just an educational or spiritual center—it is a living community of truth-seekers dedicated to living consciously, ethically, and compassionately. Whether you are taking your first steps on the spiritual path or are already well along your journey, we welcome you to join us in the pursuit of inner wisdom, peace, and liberation.
