Here is an update on some of our upcoming events, as always it's a good idea to double check the calendar on our web site for the most up to date information.

Gnostic Mass

Liber XV - The Gnostic Mass.  The central ritual, public, and private of the Ordo Templi Orientis. Leaping Laughter has several teams who regularly perform this beautiful and magical ritual.  We also encourage our congregation, who are so moved, to consider Baptism into the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica and becoming involved more actively in these rites.

Special Events

Kaaba Colloquium

OTO Kaaba in Minneapolis!  is an opportunity for all active O.T.O. initiates (I° and above) to learn what O.T.O. leadership entails, to receive strategies, tactics, and advice on leadership roles and activities, and to meet with successful and prominent leaders from all over the nation. While Kaaba is aimed at current and aspiring local body officers, it is open to any member in good standing, of the I° or above, who wishes to attend. U.S. Grand Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis sponsors Kaaba Colloquium. The events are held at local bodies throughout the country, typically twice per year. The presenters at Kaaba Colloquium are experienced O.T.O. leaders with practical, hands-on experience in running local bodies. Their presentations cover topics running the gamut from local body finances to resolving disputes between members to techniques for retaining and motivating members. The term Kaaba, which appears in the Book of the Law as quoted above, is of Islamic origin. Its original symbolism is worthy of close study. Mark your calendars for Memorial Day weekend of Friday May 27th through Sunday May 29th, and book mark this page. http://kaaba.oto-usa.org More information as it beomes available.

Local Membership

Membership in Leaping Laughter Lodge is available to members in good standing of the U.S Grand Lodge of O.T.O.  Our Grand Master Sabazius encourages every member of the Order to affiliate with a local body of O.T.O, such as Leaping Laughter Lodge, in order to support the crucial activities of our Order.  We think you will find membership in Leaping Laughter Lodge rewarding and unique, and one of the best opportunites available perhaps in the world to fully participate in an active Lodge of Ordo Templi Orientis.  All members of U. S. Grand Lodge O.T.O. who wish to learn more about the benefits of affiliation with our local body are invited to contact the Lodge.

Love is the law, love under will,
In the Bonds of the Order,
