Luck and Amulets

Start the day off on a good foot with our museum workshop Luck in Ancient Egypt. Together, we will explore the beautiful symbols and intricate rituals which honored the capricious deities that the Ancient Egyptians worshiped to bring them health, wealth, protection, and happiness.

We will then embark on an expedition through our collection, searching for ancient symbols and working to decode their archaeological significance.

As a lucky treat, we will bring out an Ancient Egyptian lamp artifact and invite you to carefully hold it.

Cats!

Saturday, November 30, at 1:30 p.m.

The ancient Egyptians were the original cat people. Cats can be found in Egyptian tombs, in ancient art, and even found mummified by the thousands as votive offerings. Cats were revered as protectors of grain from mice, warrior goddesses and protectors of children. Killing a cat, even accidentally, was sometimes a capital offense.

Please join us to learn the secrets of why the ancient Egyptians loved the feline form, how cats influenced the ancient Egyptian spiritual beliefs, and even meet a mummified ancient Egyptian cat up close!

Embracing a Moment of Stillness

In what is often the busiest month of the year, we invite you to pause and join us for a special silent meditation in our peaceful park. This workshop encourages you to practice non-judgmentally observing your surroundings, immersing yourself fully in the present moment. As you move silently through Rosicrucian Park, notice the subtle sounds, sights, and sensations of nature. Afterwards, we'll gather to record and reflect upon our observations. This is a unique opportunity to find tranquility and clarity amidst the holiday hustle.
