About this event

Join us for an engaging discussion on the *First Apocalypse of James*, a fascinating Gnostic text that offers a radically different perspective on early Christian thought. In this work, James—portrayed as a close confidant of Jesus—receives secret teachings about the nature of reality, the soul’s journey, and the hidden structures of the divine realm. Together, we’ll explore its themes of spiritual awakening, resistance to worldly powers, and the quest for inner knowledge (gnosis). Whether you’re new to Gnosticism or deeply familiar with Nag Hammadi texts, this Meetup invites open conversation, thoughtful interpretation, and a deeper look into one of the most intriguing apocryphal writings.
