Poimandres Study Group 

£40.00

Four Wednesdays in January (2027).

Studying sacred texts is good for the soul. We invite you to join us this January for a four-week study group devoted to the Poimandres, a foundational work of Hermetic philosophy, led by Dr. Shannon Grimes. Beginners and experts are all welcome, and you may use any translation you like. (A guide to translations will be provided separately).

Sessions will take place via Zoom on Wednesday January 6, 13, 20, and 27.

To cater to various time zones, we offer a choice of two time slots:

3:00 p.m. EST ( = 8:00 p.m. UTC )
8:00 p.m. EST ( = 1:00 a.m. UTC) 

Each session is 90 minutes. Sessions will not be recorded.


Shannon Grimes, PhD, has over 20 years experience as a professor of religion and philosophy, and her roots in esotericism go back even further. Her interests tend to constellate around mysticism and the Hermetic tradition. She is the author of Becoming Gold: Zosimos of Panopolis and the Alchemical Arts in Roman Egypt (2018, Rubedo Press), and several articles on alchemy and religion. Her new book, One is the All: The Alchemical Teachings of Cleopatra, is forthcoming from Rubedo Press.
