The Francis Bacon Research Trust
Spring Equinox Rosa-Solis Day

Gateway to the Ageless Wisdom

The Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Bacon and Shakespeare

The Secret History of the New Age
and the Role of the Invisible Brethren

Saturday 20 March 2010
(10:00 am - 5:00 pm)
The Spy Room, Gray's Inn, London

One-day Seminar
with
Peter Dawkins

Dan Brown, in his latest book (‘The Lost Symbol’), references Francis Bacon as a leader and probable founder of the Rosicrucian Society, and as one of the great ‘lights’ of the world, and Rosicrucianism as being a primary influence upon the formation of speculative Freemasonry.  

In this year’s one-day Rosa-Solis seminar, Peter Dawkins will provide evidence of the truth behind Brown’s statements and show how the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Bacon and Shakespeare are linked together in a great work that has laid foundations not only for our day and age but also for the future. The seminar will also provide further clues for seekers after truth to pursue, as a great on-going work of Noetic Science that will help us build the promised Golden Age on the foundations already laid.

Programme
The day will begin at 10:00 am and end at 5:00 pm, with a lunch break approx. 12:30-2:00 pm. The semminar will be presented in four sessions, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, with a short break in between each pair.

There will be no refreshments or lunch provided, so please bring your own water to drink during the sessions. There are many cafés and coffee bars nearby. The Cittie of Yorke pub, by the main entrance to Gray’s Inn, serves light lunches and bar snacks. You will also be able to take a packed lunch into the Walks, the garden in Grays Inn.

Venue
The seminar will take place in the Spy Room in Gray’s Inn, London. (See location map for directions.)

Located on the first floor in an adjoining building opposite Gray’s Inn Hall, the Spy Room provides a peaceful view overlooking the beautifully landscaped squares. The room takes its name from the famous cartoonist Sir Leslie Ward (1851–1922), who used the pseudonym ‘Spy’. A selection of his famous and characteristic prints are on display in this light and airy room.

The nearest tube is Chancery Lane on the Central Line. Holborn on the Piccadily Line is also near, being only 5 minutes walk from Gray's Inn. The entrance to Gray’s Inn is through a narrow archway on High Holborn, flanked by Rymans the stationers and the Cittie of York pub, which leads into the South Square. There is car parking available in South Square.

Gray’s Inn
Gray’s Inn was Francis Bacon’s Inn of Court, where he trained and practised as a lawyer, was Treasurer for many years, laid out the gardens and kept his own chambers all his adult life. It was in those chambers, and with the help of his lawyer friends of Gray’s Inn and other Inns of Court, that Francis Bacon did much of his writing—legal, philosophical and poetic.

In Bacon’s time the Inns of Court were not only training schools for young lawyers, noblemen and aspiring courtiers, as well as the professional home of barristers and judges, but the Inns were also the hub of cultural and poetic creativity, amongst whose members were most of the playwrights of the time. The Shakespeare play, A Comedy of Errors, was first performed in Gray’s Inn Hall in 1594.

If Bacon was the author Shakespeare, then this is probably where many of the Shakespeare plays were written.
