Orphic Club of Rome
The Orphic Club of Rome (OCR), founded by Ryan Wegenast, is a gymnasium for creation, curation, and community, welcoming the artful, the mystical, and the everyday seeker. Its roots draw from Ryan’s spiritual and artistic family lineage, his doctoral studies in myth and creativity, and his years of walking alongside indigenous communities and wisdom keepers around the world. At its heart, OCR lives by simple truths: softness as strength, playfulness as presence, abundance as birthright, community as belonging, and existence itself as our greatest gift.
The Orphic Club of Rome is a gathering place for leaders, creators, artists, visionaries, and wisdom teachers. those who feel called to move humanity forward in ways that are beautiful, simple, and magical.
The Orphic Club of Rome is unique in its ability to animate and actualize one’s life, work, and world through soul-making, art-making, and world-making.
The Orphic Club of Rome values: radical responsibilty, easeful honesty, selfless truth, untammed trust, humor over opinions, knowing over beliefs, imagination over thoughts, practice as process, listening as inquiring, forcelessness, a light-touch, elegant expression, being available to ‘what is’ in the moment, dancing with the divine, and living in integrity with the true nature of one’s life, one’s gifts, and one’s work.
