THE ORPHIC CLUB OF ROME

A LIVING MYTH

The Orphic Club of Rome is not merely a club; it is a living myth—a sacred narrative unfolding in the present, woven from the aspirations, artistry, and revelations of its members.

The Orphic Club of Rome is both a creative sanctuary and a spiritual guild where Artists, Entrepreneurs, Founders, Philosophers, Creators, Practitioners, and Waymakers gather to explore the intersection of ordinary mysticism, artistic expression, and surreal beauty. This club is built on the belief that creativity and community are gateways to higher wisdom and that we awaken to deeper truths of existence through Art and Philo(love)sophy(wisdom). In this space, the boundaries of reality are stretched - together, we will explore new realms of possibility by imagining, creating, and building a new world.

The Orphic Club of Rome is Rooted in ritual and ceremony - Infused with the spirit of dreaming, gentle unfolding, and playful creation - Offering heart/voice/creative-opening entheogens, transformative bodywork, divine dialogue, and immersive experiences designed to help members be open and available in new ways.

Radical Responsibility

Our unwoven world is disoriented—yearning for new ways of being, deeper wisdom, and radical transformation across society, culture, and politics. Throughout history, it has been the artists, philosophers, and visionaries who stepped beyond the boundaries of cultural conditioning, venturing into the unknown to forge new paths for humanity. The Renaissance itself was ignited by a single mind that gazed upon a flat canvas and envisioned what no one else had—art that could come alive. This is the spirit of The Orphic Club of Rome - Birthing Renaissances.
