7pm The Idyll of the White Lotus  - A mystery play, Sensa, adapted by Mabel Collins and Maud Hoffman

This Drama is a story which has been told in all Ages, and among every people. It is the tragedy of the Soul.

Attracted by desire, the Ruling Element in the lower nature of Man, the Soul stoops to sin, brought to itself by suffering, it turns for help to the redeeming Spirit within, and in the final sacrifice, achieves apotheosis and sheds a blessing on mankind – the 3 truths.See you there :)

Old Man Time - the Hermit - Russell Sturgess
Old man time, the hermit, symbolises the process of ageing and its inevitable companion, death. In Sanskrit the word kala means both time and death. Death and ageing are no respecter of persons, since they do not discriminate, wise or fool, wealthy or poor. Solomon in his older years considers that he has laboured all of his life to live righteously and was blessed with great wisdom and wealth. He now questions how important it all was since ultimately there is no difference in the end between what happens to him or a fool or even a beast. They are all impacted upon by time, which ultimately results in the same outcome, death.
In this presentation Russell will be exploring the concepts of death and time, through a theosophical lens, as depicted by the Hermit in the Marseille Tarot
