What is Sophrosyne?
Sophrosyne was the Ancient Greek Goddess and spirit of moderation, self-control, temperance, restraint, and discretion, which lead to excellence of character, soundness of mind, and combine in a well-balanced individual.
Depictions of Sophrosyne were the inspiration behind the Temperance card from the Major Arcana of the Tarot.
As a group we look to embody these qualities.
What do we do?
Building on the strong foundation of 12-Step Program and Traditions. We use the tools of meditation, tarot, sharing our stories, support through group consciousness, and commitment to the Great Work.
This group does not charge a fee to attend, but donations are welcome to cover expenses.
Group leader: This group is facilitated by Jorja Davis

PRAYER FROM THE ARBORETUM MYSTICUM INSPIRED BY THE SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER
May the veil be opened, and may we stand humbly before the mysteries.
May divine Fire ignite and align us. May the lower vibrations be not worshipped nor deemed more powerful than thine own self. May our will be aligned with the Divine Will and may we know this divinity not in a condition of sorrow but in joy.
May the sacred well rise within us, to cleanse and to nourish us. May the Waters of the Great Sea flow through us, and as they carry away pain, may they carve out great depth and understanding. May we crave not that which we do not have, for every sacred thing exists within us. May our emotional body be aligned with Divine unconditional Love and know this divinity not in a condition of longing but in service.
May Divine wisdom be carried on every breath, and may it strengthen us in right knowing, and may we dispel fear and falsehood. May our minds be aligned with the Divine mind, and may we know this divinity not in a condition of strain nor chaos but in Peace.
May the Earth beneath us be as a home and hearth. May we find our footing here and worship not matter but reject it neither. May we judge no part of our body as evil. May our physical body be aligned with the Divine body and may we know this divinity not in a condition of suffering but in gratitude.
Vibrate together the ancient formula of resurrection IAO (Eee-Ahh-Oh)
