Welcome to Vancouver-Pronaos
The Vancouver Pronaos offers its members, AMORC Affiliated Body visitors and guests, and those AMORC home study members of the Order who wish to but have never attended an AMORC Convocation before, the opportunity to participate in the Great Work through our AMORC Convocations, Discourses, Experiments, Meditations, and Fraternal Discussions within a harmonious and attractive environment.
Our members are every day people – Rosicrucian students, mystics, from all walks of life - who apply the teachings and principles of our Order in their own lives and in service to the Order, our Pronaos, and by extension to all of humanity.

Greetings, Fratress and Sorores,
Amidst the turmoil and noise of the material world, it’s easy to become absorbed in the tangible and fleeting—things that, in the grand design of creation, are trivial and transient. Yet, this so-called reality serves a higher purpose: to teach profound lessons
that deepen our understanding of our role within our families, communities, and the greater human family.
To grasp these sacred lessons, we must awaken the incredible and divine potential within. In the silence of inner reflection, it becomes possible to access the spiritual core —the Master Within. Through the privilege of our beloved Order, sacred knowledge is
made available, unlocking infinite spiritual potential.
Engaging with the monographs offers a journey into the wonders of the unseen, the beauty of universal truths, and a deeper understanding of your origin and purpose. You can complement this study by joining a Rosicrucian group—whether an Atrium, Pronaos, Chapter, or Lodge.
Starting April 2025, meetings are held on the second Sunday and fourth Tuesday of every month at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown located at 6083 McKay Avenue, Burnaby, BC. All are welcome to discover how truly extraordinary, unique, and precious
you are.
With best wishes for Peace Profound!
Dr. Jose Miguel Benitez
Master - Vancouver Pronaos
Questions about Convocation
Q: Why attend Convocation?
A: Convocations are based on a traditional ritual and they have the purpose of setting into motion positive energies for humanity, while allowing the members in attendance to benefit from them as well. They include a lecture or an experiment presenting a special philosophical or mystical theme.
By taking part regularly in Convocation, not only will you contribute to the humanitarian work that our Order accomplishes on the spiritual plane, you will also gain access to a higher dimension of the Rosicrucian Tradition.
Q: Who may attend Vancouver Pronaos Convocations?
A: In order to be eligible to attend Vancouver Pronaos Convocations, you must first be a member of AMORC with dues paid, current and up-to-date.
To become a member of the English Grand Lodge for the Americas please go to this link: https://www.rosicrucian.org/join
Once you have joined the Grand Lodge, you will be given a membership statement showing your membership key number and dues paid and current to date.
You must show proof of membership and a current AMORC Grand Lodge dues receipt each time for admittance to attend a Convocation at the Vancouver Pronaos. You may provide this documentation in either a printed form or digitally.
After attending Convocation three times, you can decide whether you are ready to become a Member of the Vancouver Pronaos, AMORC. If approved for membership in the Pronaos, you will then take part in a special Pronaos Introductory Discourse followed by a New Special Pronaos Initiation Ritual that is required for all new applicants in order to become official members of the Vancouver Pronaos, AMORC.
Q: Is there a certain dress code that AMORC Members should observe when attending Vancouver Pronaos Convocations?
A: Our only ask is that you dress respectfully. Other than this, there is no required dress code.
Q: During the course of the year are there any Vancouver Pronaos Events that the public who are not members of the Order may attend in order to find out more about AMORC, the Vancouver Pronaos and Rosicrucian Teachings in general?
A: Yes, there are several events such as the Memorial Ceremony, Meditation for Peace Ceremony, and certain Mystical Weekend events that the public who are non-members may attend.
For information on the requirements and code of conduct for attending member or special non-member events or for any other Vancouver Pronaos related questions please email: britishcolumbia@amorc.rosicrucian.org
