The Anti-Cult:
A Cultural Institution That Expects You to Think for Yourself

Annual Convening
Once each year, Elemental Society gather in person for a private cultural salon.

The convening is designed for:
Thoughtful discourse
Honest disagreement

Details are shared discreetly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know...
What is Elemental Society?
Elemental Society is a private cultural institution of sovereign individuals devoted to the stewardship of civilization and the natural world.
We convene founders, builders, cultural leaders who believe freedom must be protected, nature must be preserved, and societies must be consciously cultivated.
Civilization is fragile.
Freedom is not guaranteed.
Nature is not disposable.

Is this political?

What happens at a gathering?

Unstructured time for meaningful connection and enjoyment

Why is membership selective?
The quality of culture depends on the character of its stewards.
Trust, candor, and long-term collaboration require shared values, not just on a superficial level.
We admit selectively to preserve alignment and depth.
Exclusivity protects the integrity of the mission.
The quality of conversation, trust, and vulnerability in the room depends entirely on who is present.
Discernment ensures that members feel safe to speak honestly and think rigorously in order to stimulate and provoke solutions.
What role does philosophy play in creating a better society?
Thoughts influence our actions.
If we collectively want to create lasting impact, we need a well organized and thought-out plan.
Unlike uncolonized indigenous communities, our wisdom and deep connection to the natural world is not inherently passed down to us. We are part of nature, not above it. So we have to develop our own ideas, morals, and VALUES in order to re-establish our connection to the natural world and our place within it. As with any ecosystem, each role determines how healthy the whole is.
Thinking for ourselves, is important for many reasons, but the most obvious is because they clearly don't want us to. Why else would their be a multi trillion dollar industry to control and influence thought?
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
-American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead
