The tradition of our school holiday Fools Day originated in 2017 when the Arboretum Mysticum Lodge was first dedicated, and it became an official holiday of the AM Lodge.
Of course everyone know April Fools day as one celebrated by pranking and practical jokes, but in a contrarian act of blessing, on our Fools Day we do the opposite – and celebrate by doing random acts of kindness. Over the years the holiday grew into a full day-long spectacular convergence of students and faculty with guest speakers and teachers all offered for free.
It is more than a gift from the school, it is a very special yearly tradition inspired by the innocence, faith, and magic of the archetype of the Fool. An opportunity for us to all come together to share, learn, laugh and bond, and all we ask in return is that you pass it along by doing a random act of kindness for another unsuspecting human.
It’s our great honor to present our upcoming lineup of amazing teachers, inspirational speakers, healers, and magical guides for this joy-filled occasion, our 10th annual Fools Day Celebration.
This year’s in-person event will take place in Virgil Village in East Hollywood, the location is in the ticket link

- Tea Service with Madre Jaguar
- Esoteric Book Pop-up with Ouroboros Press curated by William Kiesel with rare occult books, art and ephemera for sale

You are welcome to come for the full day, or just an hour, but we do ask that you aim to enter mindfully when you arrive, and please do not leave in the middle of someones presentation.
