Gnosis Classes for Johannesburg

If you are searching for Gnosis classes in Johannesburg, our weekly classes are held at Rabie Ridge Community Hall in Midrand, on the eastern side of Midrand next to Tembisa, reachable up the N1 or M1 from Sandton or by Gautrain to Midrand station. The introductory lectures are free. The weekly classes that follow are run on donations. Classes are in person, open to beginners, and follow the introductory curriculum of Samael Aun Weor taught in Gnostic centres worldwide.

Getting There

From Johannesburg to the Midrand Centre

Midrand sits at the northern end of Johannesburg's metro, between the city and Pretoria. From Sandton and the northern suburbs the usual route is up the N1 or M1 and then east towards Rabie Ridge, and students also join us from Rosebank, Fourways and Randburg, and from Kempton Park and Alberton on the eastern and southern sides of the city.

If you prefer not to drive, the Gautrain runs from Park Station through Rosebank, Sandton and Marlboro to Midrand station, which puts the centre within reach of most of Johannesburg without a car. The exact venue, and the easiest way to reach it from your side of the city, is shared when you register your interest.

We deliberately chose Midrand rather than a venue inside Johannesburg itself, because one centre between the two cities lets a single weekly class serve seekers from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The Classes

What You Will Study

The introductory course moves week by week through the foundations of Gnosis: how your psychology is constituted, why consciousness sleeps and how it awakens, the laws of karma and dharma, the mysteries of life and death, the Kabbalah, and practical work with relaxation, self-observation and meditation. The full list is on our Topics of Study page.

Classes cost nothing to join; they are donation-based, and financial difficulty will never keep you out. No prior experience of Gnosis, meditation or psychology is needed, and you are never asked to leave your own religious tradition.
