Welcome to our Web Page

Trillium Pronaos is an Ottawa-based, fully chartered affiliate of the world wide organization known as the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC.

The mission of Trillium Pronaos is to be a beacon of Light representing the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, and its teachings by offering both:

• public, dynamic, non-judgemental events to enrich the spiritual quest of all sincere mystics and spiritual seekers, as well as,

• members-only, inspiring ritual experiences

Upcoming Public In-Person Events

Providing inspiring opportunities to learn more about the Rosicrucian (AMORC) philosophy in an informal and friendly setting, Trillium invites all spiritual seekers, whether registered AMORC members or not, to join in at any of the following upcoming public Open House events to be held, unless otherwise indicated, here at Trillium at 41 Rosemount Ave., Ottawa:

• Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 7pm - Transforming Habits & Behaviour: A Journey into the Subconscious -- Are your habits shaping your life -- or is life shaping your habits? Join us for an uplifting and insightful Meetup where we’ll explore how to consciously transform habits through understanding the mystical workings of the subconscious mind. Full details can be found here. Bring a friend! 

• Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at 7pm - The Nine Aspects of the Human Soul -- Please join us as we explore the nine components of the human soul as understood by the ancient Egyptians. A complex system of physical and spiritual elements, from the vital life force to the immortal spirit, essential to the ancient Egyptians for achieving eternal life. The Meetup will begin with a video, followed by a group discussion. In the video presentation, AMORC EGL Grand Master, Julie Scott, unveils ancient Egyptian mysteries, exploring the nine aspects of the soul. Journey through the magical Duat and discover the Egyptian deities: Isis, Ma’at, Anubis and Thoth. Full details can be found here. As always, feel free to bring a friend!

• Please note! Our "Events Calendar" (see elsewhere on this page) also indicates other "Public Invited - Department of Instruction" events which are provided virtually via teleconference and are hosted by AMORC directly and not by Trillium Pronaos itself. These appear monthly in the Trillium's event calendar as a possible convenience to our Web page visitors as well as AMORC members. See calendar event listing for teleconference connection details.

Recent Past Public Events

Just because it is fun to see what a group has been up to earlier in the year...

• Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 7pm - Awakening the Heart of Humanity,  A Rosicrucian Perspective on Duties, Dignity & Spiritual Renewal - At this thought-provoking and inspiring evening event two visionary Rosicrucian documents were explored: the Rosicrucian Declaration of Human Duties and the Appellatio Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis. These modern manifestos offered a compelling call to action for those seeking to live with greater purpose, compassion, and spiritual awareness in today’s complex world.

In-Person Events for AMORC Members only

Local area chapters, such as the Trillium Pronaos here in Ottawa, offer members of AMORC (regardless of which of the world wide Grand Lodge jurisdictions they may be affiliated with) the opportunity to participate in the Great Work of the Order through convocations, group meditations, exercises, workshops and discussions. 

For members of AMORC, Trillium Pronaos normally holds two mystical convocations per month: 

• the first taking place on the evening of the first Tuesday of each month**

• the second occurring on the morning of the third Saturday of each month**

1. In the month of July each year no convocations are held while Trillium Pronoas and its membership take a summer break.

2. Saturday, March 21, 2026: No convocation. Instead, join us on the previous evening, Friday, March 20, 2026, at the Westboro Masonic Temple, 430 Churchhill Ave. N. (note irregular location of this special event) as we celebrate, on the occasion of the Spring equinox, the annual Rosicrucian New Year and Officer Installation. Please plan to arrive by 7:40 pm. All active members of AMORC are welcome to attend. Please write to us at ontario@amorc.rosicrucian.org should you have any questions.

Organizational History and Profile

A local chapter of The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, has been active in the city of Ottawa for now over 70 years.  There were 24 members present at the first meeting held on January 5, 1954, at which time the group originally went by the name, Ottawa Pronaos.  Over time the local membership grew and in 1977 took on the new name, Trillium Chapter.  At that time it met at the Odd Fellows Hall on Somerset Street, but when that building was sold, Trillium group events and convocations moved to Rosemount Hall, located at 41 Rosemount Avenue, Ottawa.   More recently, Trillium transitioned from being a Chapter to a Pronaos, to better reflect its membership numbers and phase of its cycle of growth as a local AMORC affiliated body.
