For 20 years, the Community of Living Ethics has been promoting the projects and activities of Agni Yoga at Crookety House, where Elena Roerich spent the last years of her life, and the activities of the Good Will Centre in Darjeeling, collaborating with the Indian Trusts that support them.

Our Mission:

  • To intensify and radiate from this center of Fiery energy the magnet of Agni Yoga, the message of Living Ethics, the testimony of the life and work of the Roerichs, and especially the work of the great Cosmic Consciousness of Elena, which is revealing itself ever more.
  • To collaborate with other groups, in the understanding and dissemination of the energy of Goodwill, as Love in action in Humanity and among the Kingdoms of Nature, through educational and cultural activities.

The working Theme for 2025 is

CREATIVITY

The Flame of Peace

Which continues the theme of 2024 with some stimuli

  • In what sense can the Creative Fire in us become a Flame of Peace

  • How can we creatively nurture Peace?

  • With what do we fill our chalice of Fire?

Creativity confronts in life only when all levers act for renewal. (Agni Yoga, Hierarchy 246)

In addition to several local and international events on significant dates for our Spiritual Teachings (see program), this year we want to launch some activities conducted by the HIMALAYAN CENTER OF AGNI YOGA in Italian and English, with the possibility of participating in Crookety in seminars and short study stays, retreats and service, individual and group.

In addition to various local and international events on significant dates for our Spiritual Teachings (see programme), this year we are expanding the possibility of visiting Crookety for short stays of study, retreat and service, both for individuals and groups.

The Sensitive Group who coordinates the educational activities at Crookety House will develop the same theme.
