The Gnostic Society is an educational organization "dedicated to advancing the study, understanding, and individual experience of Gnosis." Dr. Hoeller has been giving Friday evening lectures at the Gnostic Society in the Los Angeles area for over forty years. Admission is free, relying on voluntary offerings. Many of these lectures have been recorded and are available in mp3 format. [http://gnosis.org/gnostsoc/gnostsoc.htm retrieved 2008-03-27]
