At the Embassy of the Free Mind
AI-Magic
AI tools, ancient wisdom, and the art of wonder
Every Tuesday · Online · Free and open to all
Two ancient arts,
one new medium
AI is the most transformative technology of our era, but most people experience it passively. The Hermetic tradition has always sought to extend the reach of the human mind — through science, art, and the mysteries of consciousness. AI is the newest chapter in that story.
Every Tuesday, our online community gathers to learn AI tools hands-on — starting with Claude Code — and to study the deep history of artificial intelligence and magical thinking through a guided book club and curriculum. Hosted at the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam.

The Embassy of the Free Mind
The Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam houses one of the world's greatest collections of Hermetic, alchemical, and mystical manuscripts — 25,000 works spanning two millennia.
Now the Embassy of the Free Mind, it is a living museum dedicated to the tradition that connects Hermes Trismegistus to the Scientific Revolution. The tradition that says: the human mind can extend beyond its apparent limits. That is also the promise of AI.
